Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the healthy behavior of the elderly in Pantai Labu District, Deli Serdang, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). A quantitative approach was used involving 316 respondents who were selected by stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression and path analysis. The results showed that attitudes towards healthy behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control significantly influenced the intention to behave healthily. This intention is the main predictor of healthy behavior of the elderly. Attitude has the greatest influence on intention, followed by subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. These findings support the theory of the SDGs and suggest that health interventions for the elderly should be focused on improving positive attitudes, social support, and self-control. This research provides important recommendations for the development of more effective elderly health programs, as well as policies that support access and age-friendly health facilities. These results are also relevant to be applied in similar contexts in other regions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the promotive behavior of elderly health in Pantai Labu District, Deli Serdang. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used to explore the role of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control in influencing the promotive behavior of the health of the elderly. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with elderly participants and health workers. The results showed that positive attitudes towards healthy behaviors, such as physical activity, were quite high, but were not balanced with consistent behaviors, especially in terms of healthy eating and regular health checkups. Subjective norms from families and health workers are a significant driver, although negative influences from the environment remain. Perceived behavioral control is the main factor that determines the behavior of the elderly, where physical limitations, access to health services, and economic constraints are the main obstacles. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive, community-based interventions to improve behavioral control and social support of older people. This research contributes to the understanding of factors that influence the promotive behavior of the elderly health and becomes the basis for the development of more effective intervention strategies.

Abstract

on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This study uses a cross-sectional design involving 333 randomly selected elderly respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires that included the components of the SDGs: attitudes towards behavior, subjective norms, and perception of behavior control. The results showed that all components of the SDGs had a significant effect on health behavior intentions, with attitudes towards behavior having the greatest influence (regression coefficient 0.45, p < 0.01), followed by subjective norms (0.30, p < 0.05) and perception of behavior control (0.25, p < 0.05). Although the intention to behave healthily is high (60%), only a subset of older people report consistent actual health behaviors, suggesting a gap between intention and action. Inhibiting factors such as physical limitations, poor access to health services, and inadequate social support were identified as major barriers. To address this gap, a comprehensive intervention approach is recommended through health education, strengthening social support, and improving service accessibility. In conclusion, the health promotion model based on the SDGs is effective in predicting the intention of the health behavior of the elderly and can be applied in health promotion programs in other regions.

Abstract

The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) method can shed light on the factors that influence healthy intentions and behaviors in the aged. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success of the aged healthy behavior model in Pantai Labu District, Deli Serdang, using the TPB approach, as well as to investigate the relationship between attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, intents, and healthy behaviors. This study was designed as a descriptive survey using a quantitative technique. The sample consisted of 104 elderly people aged 60 years and over, who were part of a population of 1,085 people in Pantai Labu District. Data were collected using a questionnaire that measured attitudes towards healthy behavior, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, intentions, and actual healthy behaviors. Data analysis was carried out using validity and reliability tests, multiple regression analysis, and Pearson correlation tests. The study showed that attitudes towards healthy behaviors had the greatest influence on the elderly's intention to live a healthy lifestyle (β = 0.45). Subjective norms and perceived behavioral control also had significant effects, with coefficients β = 0.30 and β = 0.25, respectively. The TPB model explained 68% of the variation in healthy behavioral intentions. The relationship between intention and actual healthy behavior showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.72), indicating that strong intentions were related to the implementation of healthy behaviors. The TPB model was effective in explaining the factors that influenced healthy behaviors in the elderly in Pantai Labu District. Positive attitudes, social support, and perceived behavioral control contributed significantly to the intention of the elderly to adopt a healthy lifestyle. This study recommends the development of interventions that focus on improving attitudes, social support, and overcoming the barriers faced by the elderly in implementing healthy behaviors.
