Health promotion is a health program designed to
make improvement such as a change in behavior in society, an
organization or the environment, either physical, non-physical,
socio-cultural, economical, political environment or others. PHBS
(Clean and Healthy Lyfestyle Behavior) is the implementation of
the realization of human rights that can be performed since early
age, implemented in daily life, and be a model to other societies.
The objective of the research was to find out the behavior,
attitude and act as well as the method and model of health
promotion obtained from the society toward the PHBS of
Padangsidempuan District.
This is a descriptive qualitative research. The samples were 25
household heads from each of four subdistricts in
Padangsidempuan District which were 100 household heads in
total to find out the level of knowledge, attitude and act toward
PHBS and to find out the method and media that had ever been
obtained.
The results showed that 73% of the respondents had moderate
level of knowledge, 90% of the respondents had good Attitude,
53% of the respondents’ response to tropical disease was
dominantly poor. Apparently it was found that respondents’ acts
were not in accordance with their level of knowledge and attitude.
The methods that had ever been obtained were preaching and
discussion method represented by 32% and 17% respectively, and
the rest of them had never received any kind of method of PHBS.
It showed that they were at risk of the tropical diseases, proven
from the high rate of pulmonary disease suffered from by the
respondents because they had never obtained any information
about the prevention of Pulmonary TB (Tuberculosis). The Media
that had ever been received were Television represented by 33%,
yet it was merely about smoking, leaflet represented by 27% from
the health personnel and university students, and religious sermon
from Ustadz represented by 6%. It was similar to the findings on
method, 40% of the respondents had never received any
information from any media, so that they did not have any
information about PHBS.
It is recommended that the advocate of Health Agency and
Public Figure implement the effective methods and media to
promote PHBS to the society so that it will reduce the rate of
tropical disease in Padangsidempuan District.
