One of the factors that influence compliance is individual motivation. There are still many pulmonary tuberculosis patients who do not wear masks, this can have an impact on disease transmission. Poor individual motivation can affect someone's compliance. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship of patient motivation regarding prevention of transmission with adherence to the use of masks in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Rambipuji Health Center, Jember Regency. This research uses descriptive correlative type of research. In this study using a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this study was taken using simple random sampling, namely pulmonary tuberculosis patients at the Rambipuji Health Center in Jember Regency, totaling 105 patients but only 50 patients were used as samples. This research was conducted by giving a questionnaire to pulmonary tuberculosis patients to find out the patient's motivation about preventing transmission by adhering to the use of masks. The results of the study were analyzed using the Lambda Correlation Test, the results of the analysis found that the motivation of patients was good motivation (22%), patient motivation was sufficient (56%), and patient motivation was less motivation (22%). Whereas adherence to the use of masks in pulmonary tuberculosis patients is compliant (36%), and non-compliant (64%). The Lambda Correlation Test results obtained from the variable compliance with ρ = 0.389 positive direction with a value of ρ count of 0.027 <0.05 which means there is a relationship between patient motivation about prevention of transmission with compliance with the use of masks in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Rambipuji Health Center, Jember District. It is recommended that further studies be able to conduct more in-depth research related to the relationship of patient motivation regarding the prevention of transmission with adherence to the use of masks in pulmonary tuberculosis patients

Abstract Physical exercise training and medication compliance are primary components of cardiac rehabilitation. When rehabilitating independently at home, patients often fail to comply with their prescribed medication and find it challenging to interpret exercise targets or be aware of the expected efforts. Our work aims to assist cardiac patients in understanding their condition better, promoting medication adherence and motivating them to achieve their exercise targets in a tele-rehabilitation setting. We introduce a patient-centric intelligible visualization approach to present prescribed medication and exercise targets to patients. We assessed efficacy of intelligible visualizations on patients’ comprehension in two lab studies. We evaluated the impact on patient motivation and health outcomes in field studies. Patients were able to adhere to medication prescriptions, manage their physical exercises, monitor their progress and gained better self-awareness on how they achieved their rehabilitation targets. Patients confirmed that the intelligible visualizations motivated them to achieve their targets better. We observed an improvement in overall physical activity levels and health outcomes of patients. Research Highlights Presents challenges currently faced in cardiac tele-rehabilitation. Demonstrates how intelligibility was applied to two core aspects of cardiac rehabilitation- promoting medication adherence and physical exercise training. Lab., field and clinical studies to demonstrate efficacy of intelligible visualization, impact on patient motivation and resultant health outcomes. Reflection on how similar HCI approaches could be leveraged for technology-supported management of critical health conditions such as cardiac diseases.

Forman, Goldstein and Gonel are to be congratulated for their important, succinct paper, "Management of Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus: Usefulness of 24-Hour Fractional Quantitative Urine Glucose" (Pediatrics, 53:257, 1974). For the past five years, on the recommendation of Dr. Donnell B. Etzwiler, we have followed approximately 60 juvenile diabetics using fractional quantitative 24-hour urine glucose values (obtained three or four times a year). As the authors point out, it is unfortunate and often detrimental to the juvenile diabetic that this simple inexpensive test has not gained wide clinical acceptance or even consideration by the physician caring for the juvenile diabetic.
