Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that remains a serious health problem in Indonesia, with the prevalence of cases increasing annually. TB patients face not only physical challenges due to long-term treatment and drug side effects, but also psychological stress, social stigma, and anxiety, which can reduce resilience. Family support is a crucial factor in helping patients cope with the treatment process and maintain motivation and enthusiasm for life. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and resilience in TB patients. Methods: This study used a correlational analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. Respondents were 100 TB patients undergoing treatment at Al Islam Hospital, Bandung, selected using a convenience sampling technique. The research instruments included a family support questionnaire based on the Perceived Social Support-Family (PSS-Fa) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) resilience questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: Most patients (65%) had good levels of family support, while 58.5% of patients had good levels of resilience. Statistical tests showed a significant relationship between family support and resilience in TB patients (p=0.000). Conclusion: The better the family support received by TB patients, the higher their level of resilience in facing the treatment process. Therefore, family involvement is crucial for improving the success of TB therapy.
