Knowing is Half the Battle: Knowledge Linked to Healthy Habits in Surabaya, but Attitudes Not So Much
This study found a significant relationship between knowledge and the practice of hygienic and healthy lifestyles (PHBS) among residents of Rangkah urban village in Surabaya, Indonesia. However, no significant relationship was found between attitudes and PHBS practices.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
None identified
Identified Weaknesses
The study is limited to a single urban village in Surabaya, which may not be representative of other areas in Indonesia. The findings may not be generalizable to other populations or settings.
The cross-sectional design limits the ability to establish causality between knowledge, attitudes, and PHBS practices. It only provides a snapshot of the relationships at a single point in time.
The study relies on self-reported data, which can be subject to social desirability bias and recall bias. Participants may over-report positive behaviors or under-report negative behaviors.
The study does not explore other potential factors that may influence PHBS practices, such as socioeconomic status, access to resources, and cultural beliefs.
Rating Explanation
This study uses a standard cross-sectional design and provides a reasonable analysis of the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and healthy lifestyle practices. However, several limitations, such as its limited generalizability, reliance on self-reported data, and lack of exploration of other potential factors, prevent it from receiving a higher rating.
