| Sumario: | This study aims to: (1) analyze the continuity of healthy behavior of mothers and children even though their involvement in Posyandu is low due to poor Posyandu services; (2) analyze the healthy behavior of mothers and children in the community that is institutionalized by the community itself, although at the initial level, it was introduced by Posyandu. This research uses a descriptive survey approach. The population of this research is 348 mothers who have babies and toddlers, who are the target of the Posyandu service program. The number of samples taken was 100 respondents with a simple random sampling technique because the population was homogeneous. Data were obtained through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and direct observation. The results showed that the low involvement of mothers in Posyandu was not an obstacle for mothers to behave in a healthy manner on an ongoing basis. This is because in the community there are various formal, semiformal, and village institutions that institutionalize healthy living accompanied by the availability of service facilities outside the Posyandu that can be used by mothers to meet the needs of a healthy life. The healthy behavior of mothers and children in the family is included in the high category seen from the frequency of mothers providing nutritious food for the family, maintaining food hygiene, boiling water before drinking, providing complete immunizations to their babies, baby clothes and utensils, conducting pregnancy checkups 7–9 times during pregnancy, using modern health care facilities for childbirth, as well as actively participating as an acceptor for independent family planning. |
