<![CDATA[Mothers play a strategic role as health promotion agents within families because they directly influence the development of healthy living behaviors among family members. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between mothers’ roles as health promotion agents and healthy living behaviors in the family environment. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 120 housewives selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a validated closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire. Statistical analyses included univariate analysis, Chi-Square testing, and Spearman Rank correlation at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that most respondents demonstrated a good level of health promotion role (60.0%) and good family healthy living behavior (57.5%). A significant relationship was found between mothers’ roles as health promotion agents and healthy living behaviors within families (p = 0.000). The correlation was strong and positive (r = 0.682), indicating that stronger maternal involvement in health promotion is associated with better family health practices. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening mothers’ capacities through family-based health programs, community health education, and the optimization of integrated health services such as Posyandu. Community health centers are encouraged to implement structured empowerment programs, including health education, family health monitoring, and peer-support activities. In conclusion, mothers’ roles as health promotion agents are strongly associated with healthy living behaviors in families.]]>
