Latar Belakang: Schistosomiasis merupakan penyakit parasit yang disebabkan trematoda Schistosoma. Secara global, ditemukan 200.000 kematian/tahun terkait schistosomiasis. Sulawesi Tengah satu-satunya provinsi dari 34 provinsi di Indonesia yang endemis schistosomiasis. Kegiatan pemberantasan Schistosoma secara intensif dimulai tahun 1982 dan hingga saat ini schistosomiasis belum mampu dieradikasi sehingga tahun 2018 pemerintah Indonesia menerapkan pendekatan pengobatan baru dengan pemberian obat pencegahan massal (POPM). Seseorang untuk ikut melaksanakan program kesehatan dipengaruhi oleh persepsi masyarakat yang membentuk pandangan terhadap suatu kejadian yang memotivasi seseorang untuk bersikap dan bertindak dalam sebagian besar aktivitas hidupnya. Hal ini yang mendasari peneliti merasa perlu untuk melakukan penelitian tentang persepsi masyarakat terhadap POPM praziquantel sebagai upaya eliminasi schistosomiasis di Desa Dodolo, Lembah Napu Sulawesi Tengah.
Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposive sampling. Total sampel pada penelitian didapatkan 79 responden.
Hasil: Persepsi kerentanan (54,4%), persepsi manfaat (54,4%), persepsi hambatan (58,2%) adalah variabel persepsi masyarakat yang mendukung terhadap pemberian obat pencegahan massal schistosomiasis. Persepsi keparahan (48,1%) dan persepsi efikasi diri(49,4%) adalah variabel persepsi masyarakat yang tidak mendukung terhadap pemberian obat pencegahan massal schistosomiasis
Kesimpulan: Persepsi masyarakat terhadap POPM praziquantel berdasarkan health belief model adalah mayoritas masyarakat memiliki persepsi mendukung hal ini dapat dilihat dari persepsi kerentanan, Persepsi hambatan dan persepsi manfaat.
