Factors That Contribute to Knowledge of Healthy Behaviors Community

This study contributes to identifying factors that influence knowledge about healthy living behaviors. This study used a correlational approach with a cross-sectional design. The study population included all semi-urban communities living in the Dayeuh Kolot Health Center working area. The sampling technique used was Convenience Sampling, with a total sample of 130 respondents who met the criteria: residents of the Dayeuh Kolot Health Center working area, over 18 years old, and willing to become respondents. The results of the factor analysis showed that demographic factors, which include gender and occupation, contributed 9.379% to the total variance. Variables with higher loading values, such as gender with a value of 0.840, showed a significant contribution to healthy behavior. In addition, external and internal factors contributed the most, at 33.757% of the total variance, where health workers play an important component in promoting healthy behaviors in the community. Entity factors, which contributed 14.874% to the total variance, included age as a key variable influencing the adoption of healthy behaviors. Overall, this study underscores the importance of demographic, external, and internal variables in shaping the healthy behaviors of semi-urban communities.
