ABSTRACT
Introduction: Problems with nutritional and health status can arise due to a lack of implementation of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) among workers. Even though there are guidelines to improve PHBS, achievements are still low in several regions in Indonesia, including Banten province. Therefore, research was conducted to evaluate the relationship between knowledge of clean and healthy living behavior and workers’ nutritional and health status at a construction company. This research aims to determine the relationship between clean and healthy living behavior and the nutritional status and health of workers in a construction company.
Methods: The research design is descriptive qualitative. The sampling technique is Simple Random Sampling. The sample in this study amounted to 199 people. Data analysis in this study used the Chi-Square Test.
Results: This research showed that 0.5% of respondents knew about clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) in the poor category, 92% in the sufficient category, and 7.5% in the excellent category. It was found that 6% of respondents were in the undernourished status category, 54.3% in the good nutritional status category, and 39.7% of respondents in the overnourished status category. Regarding health status, the results showed that 85.4% of respondents were in the sick category, and 14.6% were in the healthy category.
Conclusion: Statistical analysis shows a significant relationship between clean and healthy living behavior and nutritional and health status.
