Abstract

Healthy behavior plays a crucial role in achieving "Healthy Indonesia 2030," where healthy practices need to emerge from both individuals and community groups. This endeavor is supported by prevention programs and initiatives to improve the quality of healthy living through primary healthcare services (Posyandu, Puskesmas) up to hospitals, facilitating treatment and early disease detection. The aim of this study is to examine and analyze aspects of health beliefs in the healthy behaviors of community groups in Jatinangor. This research employs a qualitative method approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The results indicate that the majority of 60 informants hold strong beliefs in healthy behavior, demonstrated by a high perceived susceptibility to illness and a strong perceived benefit of preventive actions. It was found that fostering supportive communities, promoting healthy lifestyles, and showing respect for others significantly enhance psychological well-being. In conclusion, trust, self-regulation, motivation, social support, and individual mindset are highly instrumental in achieving physical and emotional well-being. Based on these findings, health programs in the Jatinangor District can be more focused on strengthening the role of community and peer support groups, given the significant influence of social support.
