BUILDING A PROSPEROUS AND HEALTHY FAMILY THE ROLE OF CLEAN AND HEALTHY LIVING BEHAVIORS IN DISEASE PREVENTION

General Background: Family health is a foundational element for building a
prosperous society, and Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) plays a crucial role
in disease prevention and quality of life improvement. Specific Background: PHBS
encompasses various aspects, including sanitation, hygiene, and stress management,
which are vital for ensuring family well-being. However, the adoption of PHBS remains
uneven across communities, presenting barriers to achieving widespread health
benefits. Knowledge Gap: While the importance of PHBS is recognized, there is a lack
of effective strategies to raise public awareness and encourage long-term
implementation, particularly at the family level. Aims: This study aimed to assess the
impact of health information literacy workshops on community awareness and
adoption of PHBS, focusing on disease prevention and lifestyle changes within families.
Results: The workshop successfully increased public knowledge about PHBS,
motivating participants to adopt healthier practices in their daily lives. It also raised
awareness about the connection between family health and community well-being,
with participants reporting greater intention to implement PHBS in their households.
Novelty: This study highlights the effectiveness of workshop-based interventions as a
tool for improving health literacy and promoting the widespread adoption of PHBS,
especially within family units. Implications: The findings suggest that targeted
educational programs, combined with community-based initiatives, can significantly
contribute to disease prevention and improve public health outcomes, emphasizing the
role of families as key actors in fostering healthier societies
