Abstract

Introduction: Self-care behavior is a fundamental component of health promotion and disease prevention among adults. Community-based health education has the potential to enhance self-care practices; however, evidence regarding its effectiveness in real-world community settings remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effect of a community-based health education program on self-care behavior among adults. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design was conducted involving 60 adult participants. Respondents were allocated into an intervention group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). The intervention group received a structured community-based health education program over four weeks, while the control group received routine health information. Self-care behavior was measured using a structured questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. Results: The intervention group showed a significant improvement in self-care behavior scores after the intervention (p<0.001), whereas no significant change was observed in the control group (p>0.05). The increase in self-care behavior was significantly greater in the intervention group compared to the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Community-based health education is effective in improving self-care behavior among adults. Integrating structured educational interventions into community health programs may strengthen primary prevention efforts and promote sustainable healthy behaviors

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, including Indonesia, and is influenced by biological, environmental, and behavioral factors within the family context. Evidence examining the role of comprehensive family health task performance in relation to stunting severity is still limited. To examine the association between family health task performance and the degree of stunting among children aged 0–24 months attending a primary health care center. Research Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 families with stunted children in the catchment area of Bantimurung Primary Health Center, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Family health task performance was assessed using a validated questionnaire covering five domains: recognizing health problems, making health decisions, caring for sick family members, modifying the home environment, and utilizing health facilities. Stunting severity was determined using height-for-age z-scores. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation. Results: Family health task performance was significantly and negatively correlated with stunting severity (ρ = −0.341; p < 0.05). Utilization of health facilities (ρ = −0.421; p < 0.01) and environmental modification (ρ = −0.356; p < 0.05) showed the strongest associations with reduced stunting severity. Low birth weight and non-exclusive breastfeeding were also significantly associated with more severe stunting. Conclusion: Better family health task performance, particularly in engaging primary health services and maintaining a healthy home environment, is associated with less severe stunting. Strengthening family-centered interventions in primary care is essential to reducing the severity of stunting in early childhood
