Background: Schools can be an effective institution for developing healthy practices in children. Children in primary schooling age can learn and get used to specific healthy behaviors, such as washing hands, brushing teeth, eating vegetables, etc. This study aimed to determine factors affecting healthy behavior among primary school children using Helth Belief Model. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at 25 primary schools in Nganjuk, East Java, from August to December 2019. A sample of 200 primary school students aged 6-12 years was selected by stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was healthy behavior. The independent variables were perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived benefit, cues to action, and self-efficacy. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple linear regression run on Stata 13. Results: Healthy behavior in primary school students was improved by high perceived susceptibility (b= 1.11; 95% CI= 0.36 to 1.85; p= 0.004), high perceived seriousness (b= 0.66; 95% CI= -0.06 to 1.38; p= 0.075), strong perceived benefit (b= 0.64; 95% CI= -0.86 to 1.36; p= 0.084), cues to action (b= 0.98; 95% CI= 0.26 to 1.71; p= 0.008), and strong self-efficacy (b= 1.4; 95% CI= 0.74 to 2.20; p<0.001). Conclusion: Healthy behavior in primary school students is improved by high perceived susceptibility, high perceived seriousness, strong perceived benefit, cues to action, and strong self-efficacy. Keywords: clean and healthy behavior, health belief model Correspondence: Frida Indriani. Masters Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Jl. Ir.

ABSTRACT Background: In the field of health-care education, theories and models help us to explain and predict behaviors to conduct effective health-care educational programs for changing behaviors. The Health Belief Model (HBM) contains several primary concepts by which individuals evaluate themselves to take action to change their behaviors, including antenatal care uptake in pregnant women. This study aimed to examine factors affecting the use of antenatal care. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out in Semarang, Central Java, from June to August 2020. A sample of 250 pregnant women was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was antenatal care. The independent variables were attitude, knowledge, information, self-efficacy, perceived seriousness, perceived susceptibility, perceived barrier, perceived benefit, cues to action, husband support, and facilities. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Complete antenatal care increased with strong support (OR= 38.97; 95% CI= 3.19 to 476.53; p= 0.004), high knowledge (OR= 16.44; 95% CI= 2.54 to 106.60; p= 0.003), positive attitude (OR= 29.88; 95% CI= 2.88 to 309.92; p= 0.004), high information toward antenatal care (OR= 31.42; 95% CI= 4.07 to 242.41; p= 0.001), strong self-efficacy (OR= 7.85; 95% CI= 1.50 40.99; p= 0.015), strong cues to action (OR= 11.97; 95% CI= 2.01 to 71.36; p= 0.006), high perceived seriousness (OR= 32.99; 95% CI= 3.93 to 276.98; p= 0.001), high perceived susceptibility (OR= 24.29; 95% CI= 2.50 to 235.78; p= 0.006), high perceived benefit (OR= 30.43; 95% CI= 2.99 to 308.80; p= 0.004), high perceived barrier (OR= 0.07; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.57; p= 0.013) and complete facilities (OR= 63.52; 95% CI= 3.62 to 1115.08; p= 0.005). Conclusion: Complete antenatal care increases with strong support, high knowledge, positive attitude, high information toward antenatal care, strong self-efficacy, strong cues to action, high perceived seriousness, high perceived susceptibility, high perceived benefit, high perceived barrier and complete facilities.

Penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan deskripsi persepsi guru taman kanak-kanak Islam (TKI) terhadap pendidikan seksual anak usia dini berdasarkan teori Health-Belief Model (HBM). Penelitian dilakukan di TKI XYZ menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode kuesioner dan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara. HBM mengandung berbagai persepsi individu yang berkaitan dengan perilaku kesehatan. Perilaku kesehatan dalam penelitian ini adalah penerapan pendidikan seksual anak usia dini. Hasil data kuantitatif menunjukkan sebagian besar guru memiliki persepsi netral dalam setiap variabel HBM yaitu 50% guru pada Perceived Susceptibility, 62.5% guru pada Perceived Severity, 62.5% guru pada Perceived Benefit, 68.75% guru pada Perceived Barrier, 62.5% guru pada Cues to Action, 81.25% guru pada Self-Efficacy, dan 56.25% guru pada Perilaku Kesehatan. Data kualitatif menunjukkan guru TKI XYZ belum melakukan Perilaku Kesehatan secara komprehensif. Informasi terkait pendidikan seksual yang disampaikan pada siswa tidak sistematis, bersifat situasional, belum merata kepada seluruh siswa, dan belum dapat di evaluasi keefektifannya. Hal ini disebabkan pemahaman guru yang kurang mengenai kekerasan seksual, perkembangan seksual, dan pendidikan seksual anak usia dini. Hambatan guru dalam menerapkan Perilaku Kesehatan adalah kemampuan diri, faktor budaya, dan persetujuan orangtua siswa. Kata Kunci: persepsi, guru, health-belief model, pendidikan seksual, anak usia dini

Background: Complexity of behavior among adolescents and the effects of various factors on their behavior require a deeper vision on their health-related behavior components. Inadequate intake of calcium-rich foods and low intake of essential vitamins among female adolescents are cases that indicate the need for a change in the feeding behavior among them. This study aimed to examine the effects of iron tablet program, intrapersonal, and social factors on nutrition intake to prevent anemia in female adolescents. Subjects and Method: A cohort retrospective study was carried out in Senior High Schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A sample of 120 female adolescents was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was nutrition intake. The independent variables were iron tablet program, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, and perceived benefit, and family income. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Nutrition intake to prevent anemia in female adolescents increased with iron tablet supplementation program (OR= 11.87; 95% CI= 1.70 to 82.76; p= 0.013), high family income (OR= 24.76; 95% CI= 1.96 to 313.22; p= 0.013), high perceived susceptibility (OR= 77.88; 95% CI= 4.12 to 1471.73; p= 0.004), high perceived seriousness (OR= 228.46; 95% CI= 7.08 to 7369.90; p= 0.002), and high perceived benefit (OR= 94.72; 95% CI= 4.87 to 1841.55; p= 0.003). Nutrition intake decreased with high perceived barrier (OR= 0.02; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.40; p= 0.010). Conclusion: Nutrition intake to prevent anemia in female adolescents increases with iron tablet program, high family income, high perceived susceptibility, high perceived seriousness, and high perceived benefit. Nutrition intake decreases with high perceived barrier. Keywords: anemia, iron tablet, intrapersonal factor, health belief model Correspondence: Ailsa Clarissa Cynara.
