Abstract

Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) cannot be passed from person to person; they are the primary cause of mortality and physical disability in Indonesia and worldwide. There is an epidemiological shift from infectious illnesses to NCD, as evidenced by rising morbidity from NCDs and accidents and decreasing morbidity from infectious diseases at the global, regional, and country levels. Puskesmas Parenggean II performed health examinations for PTM Posbindu on inhabitants of productive age (15-59 years) with a 66.7 percent success rate. This study examines the association between PTM Posbindu knowledge, attitudes, health status, and health care providers in the Parenggean II Puskesmas Working Area, East Kotawaringin Regency. This study employed a cross-sectional analytical descriptive research approach. The study’s population consisted of 99 working-age people (15-59 years). Analysing research data with the Chi-Square and Logistic Regression tests. According to the study results, 56.9% of the working-age population uses POSBINDU PTM. PTM Posbindu intake is associated with knowledge (Signp=0.000) OR = 7.349 and attitude (Sign-p = 0.009) OR = 3.696. Meanwhile, neither the health status (Sign-p = 0.076) nor the health service provider (Sign-p = 0.587) Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.317 is associated with the usage of PTM Posbindu. The most relevant variable is knowledge, with an OR of 7,349. According to the study, knowledge is the most significant factor in using PTM Posbindu. The data and results of this study are intended to be used by appropriate parties to enhance health check-ups for individuals of productive age.
