Abstract

ABSTRACT

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is an effort to provide a learning experience or create a condition for individuals, families, groups and communities. The present study was designed to examine the determinants of clean and healthy living behaviour on a household scale in Mendalok Village, Sungai Kunyit District, Mempawah Regency. It was a quantitative approach involving a sample of 175 people selected by proportional random sampling. The data were collected using questionnaires and checklist sheets. They were analysed using Chi-Square statistical test. The research found that the variables related to clean and healthy living behaviour were knowledge (p-value = 0.006), attitude (p-value = 0.022), counseling (p-value = 0.001) and education (p-value = 0.032). To promote PHBS, routine counselling was required at least once a month, providing motivation, concrete examples, and support for the community to change clean and healthy living behaviour such as running environmental hygiene competitions and cooperation activities.
