Abstract


 
 
 
 Background: Non-communicable disease cases are responsible for high mortality rates worldwide. Efforts to prevent and control PTM are carried out through visits to the Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Development Post (Posbindu PTM). Public perception about the lack of visiting behavior increases the risk of NCD cases. Objective: Identifying and analyzing public perceptions regarding the behavior of visits to the Posbindu PTM. Methods: Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews and observations with 26 people from 12 Posbindu PTM in the Kebonagung Health Center area. Results: visits are not evenly distributed across the target age group, people who feel healthy tend not to have visiting behavior, seriousness perceptions about NCDs shape behavior visits, benefit perceptions are people need medicine, people have various barriers to behavior visit, and the closest people support as a behavioral reminder to Posbindu PTM. Conclusion: The dominant respondents stated that the perception of vulnerability, seriousness, interests, obstacles, and strong support from those closest to them formed a visit to Posbindu PTM.
