Selection of Prioritized Healthy Family Indicators, Using the Difficulty-Usefulness Pyramid (DUP)

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to select Healthy Family Indicators in order of priority, using the Difficulty-Usefulness Pyramid (DUP). Methodology: This study involved families in Indonesia who were selected using the snowball sampling technique. Data on difficulty and usefulness were collected through filling out an online-questionnaire that included 12 indicators of a healthy family, then analyzed and presented in the form of a pyramid. Results: The usefulness score tends to be homogeneous, with a mean score of 9.41 (very useful), while the difficulty score tends to be heterogeneous, with a mean score of -2.17 (easy). The most difficult indicator to achieve was “family members do not smoke.” Conclusion: All indicators of a healthy family are felt to be very useful for families, with the highest level of difficulty in indicators of non-smoking behavior; while the 3 main priorities are non-smoking behavior, mental disorders treatment, and exclusive breastfeeding.
