Abstract: Healthy behavior plays an important role in realizing a healthy Indonesia. A culture of healthy living must be practiced by individuals and community groups. To satisfy the healthy life of Indonesians, efforts should be made to enhance healthy lifestyle behaviors in the form of preventive measures. This study aimed to scrutinize the health belief model of community groups in Jatinangor District, Sumedang Regency. This study involved a total of 60 participants who worked as K3L (Employee Safety and Health) and investigated three aspects of healthy lifestyle of the community groups, including health behaviors, the health belief model, and factors influencing their health behaviors. Using a constructivist paradigm, this study employed a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. The data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation techniques, focus group discussions (FGD), and documentation. The data were then analyzed using an interactive analysis model comprising data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Findings of the study showcased community behavior from the perspective of the health belief model in community groups, health belief model in community group behavior from the perspectives of adaptation action theory and self-efficacy theory, and factors influencing health behavior in community groups.
