Abstract

Abstract The behavior of individuals or groups in seeking treatment varies greatly, which is influenced by the number of facilities, types, methods and health care equipment available. Remote Indigenous Communities (KAT) or Suku Anak Dalam appear to have special uniqueness in seeking treatment, of course, become the focus of health workers in seeking optimal public health. Besides that, in terms of lifestyle and law, KAT is very obedient to the customary rules and taboos that strictly regulate their behavior, including treatment seeking behavior. This study aims to determine the predisposing factors for KAT in seeking treatment. This study used a qualitative study method (indepth interview) which conducted in April – September 2019. Informants in this study were community leader called “Tumenggung” and health worker. Efforts to seek treatment carried out by the people of Bukit Suban Village are self-treatment, traditional remedies and seeking treatment at a health facility unit. People also still believe in healing diseases through incantations and objects that are considered as protection, and the tiger god as the spirit of the ancestors. It is necessary to optimize equitable health service programs, improve coordination with 'Tumenggung' community leaders and regularly educate the KAT community in order to increase understanding in improving health status.
