Community Empowerment through Clean and Healthy Lifestyles to Improve Health Degrees in Indonesian Community

Health is one of the focuses of attention in every country, because having a
healthy community can certainly create a productive society, and by always
getting used to a clean and healthy lifestyle the community can support
government programs to form Superior Human Resources (HR) and highly
educated. This study uses a qualitative method with the aim that there is greater
spontaneity and better adaptation of the interaction between researchers and
research sources in obtaining answers to research questions. There are various
data collection methods in this qualitative research, namely observation, textual
analysis and interviews (individual or group). So the results of this study explain
that the formation of clean and healthy living behavior from an early age is very
important to implement, so that gradually this activity will become a good habit
of life and become an initial capital in the process of human growth and
development in the future. The application of PHBS indicators as a behavior of
people's lives is very important, but other indicators are no less important in the
formation of healthy living behavior so as to create a high degree of public
health. One part of PHBS is washing hands with soap before and after doing an
activity. Good hand washing is to follow the 7 steps of cleaning hands according
to the correct procedure to kill germs that cause disease. On the other hand,
outreach to the community is a strategic effort to empower every member of the
household to always apply a clean and healthy lifestyle, so that the community is
able to help themselves. In addition, it is also necessary to instill in the
community character values, so that clean and healthy living behaviors really
grow and are well embedded in people's lives.
