Abstract TB is one of the most significant cause of worldwide health hazards which leads to mortality and morbidity. One of the major problems of treating tuberculosis treatment is that the patients who are once being successfully treated can relapse and major reason behind this is insufficient treatment. Adherence towards TB treatment is challenging because the treatment is long and side-effects are quite evident and sometimes patients show non-compliance due to poor knowledge and unfavourable attitude. A quantitative research approach & non experimental descriptive research design was used to assess knowledge and attitude regarding anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT) among tuberculosis patients. It was conducted on 100 tuberculosis patients selected through purposive sampling at DOTS centre of DMC & Hospital, Ludhiana. The data was collected using structured questionnaire to assess knowledge and structured likert scale to assess attitude regarding ATT. For analysis and interpretation of data, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Majority (66%) of the tuberculosis patients had average level of knowledge regarding ATT whereas 31% were with good level and only 3% were with poor knowledge level. Majority of the tuberculosis patients (78%) had favourable attitude and 22% had unfavourable attitude regarding ATT. There is a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude regarding ATT among tuberculosis patients (r=0.46;p=0.05). Association of knowledge was found statistically significant with marital status (p=0.037). Statistically significant association of attitude was found with family history of tuberculosis (p=0.050) and counselling attended regarding ATT (p=0.045). The present study concluded that most of the tuberculosis were having average level of knowledge and favourable attitude regarding ATT. There was a significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitude which indicates increase in the knowledge regarding ATT improves the attitude related to that.
