Abstract : Introduction: Knowledge is the impression in the human mind as the use of the five senses. Pulmonary TB is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria that attack the lungs, one of the causes of anxiety in patients with pulmonary TB with coughing up blood is knowledge. Anxiety level is a feeling of fear that is not clear and not supported by the situation. The results showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and anxiety in patients with pulmonary TB with coughing blood at the Dukun Gresik health centre. Methods: This research design is analytic with a cross sectional approach. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and anxiety in patients with pulmonary TB with coughing blood at the Dukun Gresik health centre. The population taken all patients with pulmonary TB coughing up blood who examined at the health centre dukun the number of samples of this study was 24 people at the health centre dukun gresik using purposive sampling technique. Data collected through questionnaire sheets were then analysed with the congestion coefficient test with a significance level of ɑ = 0.05. Results: from the results of the statistical test of the coefficient of congestion based on significance (ɑ = 0.05), the results obtained the value of ρ < ɑ (0.004 < 0.05) which means that H1 is accepted, meaning that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and anxiety in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with coughing blood in the health centre dukun sub-district dukun gresik district. The results showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and anxiety in patients with pulmonary TB with coughing blood at the Dukun health centre in Gresik. Conclusion: almost entirely the level of knowledge is moderate and most experience mild anxiety levels so that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and anxiety in patients with pulmonary TB with coughing blood. It is recommended for health workers to be more active in conducting counseling and socialisation on this subject to minimise anxiety in patients with pulmonary TB with coughing up blood.
