Abstract

 Most of the health problems of patients today are caused by improper health behaviors. The behavior of a person begins with reasons, attitudes, and beliefs of the individual that lead to the performance of various behaviors. A theory of reason action is a behavioral theory used to explain the relationship between attitudes, intentions/intentions, and self-controlled behavior. Changing inappropriate health behaviors therefore requires adjusting attitudes about behavior. Create a model of good health that will lead to conformity to the reference group. Using a 5-step process, including studying the causes of behavior Adjusting attitudes towards behavior, creating inspiration to change behavior, promoting desired behavior and evaluation. In which behavior change may not be successful in the initial stages, it requires cooperation from both the individual, family, and community levels, including reinforcement and continuous monitoring, so that sustainable health behavior change can occur.
