Abstract
Psychosocial stressors that occur among Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) patients may lead to psychological furthermore psychiatric problems. Resilience is needed to adapt to stressful situation including medical procedures and psychosocial impact of the DR-TB itself. This case reports how high resilience helped DR-TB patient cope with his life situation. The patient is a 24-year-old male adult who just completed Drug Sensitive Tuberculosis (DS-TB) treatment about 7 months ago but currently was suffering from MDR-TB and plans to undergo MDR-TB treatment for another 1 year with the risk of symptoms and drug side effects that are more severe than DS-TB treatment. Unexpectedly, the patient had a good response to the stressful situations. With good resilience, individuals can deal with stressful situations in life well, remain motivated and hopeful for the future.
