Abstract

Health services performed by health care professionals in the community have an important meaning. Es-pecially for remote indigenous communities (KAT) who live with all the difficulties, limitations, as well as limited on human re-sources, economics, geographical, social, and cultural conditions which are sometimes resistant to modern medical health care. Various dynamics have to be faced by health personnel in the village Kanekes, Leuwidamar sub district in Lebak of Banten province. Duringthe assignment,the health workers have ac-quired single and interesting experiences. The focus of the paper is to find how exactly are the circumstances of the behavior of health workers in line of their duties. Qualitative research meth-od used in this paper with phenomenology approach. Symbolic interactionism is used to confirm the results of the research. The research data were obtained through in-depth interviews with which ten health personnel are selected purposively, with partici-pant observation and literature study. Data analysis techniques are accomplished by means of data reduction, presentation and drawing conclusions. The study found that in serving health ser-vices, the health personnel in Baduy perform adaptation of com-munication, both in verbal and nonverbal communication. This adaptation is based on the familiarization of Baduy culture. The adaptation forms a pattern of empathetic communication aimed to develop relationships which focus on helping clients. The adap-tation of communication by health personnel in Baduy resulted of a form of health communication based on the cultural values which served the Baduy community.
