In 2008, Japan introduced a metabolic syndrome screening and intervention program specifically targeting individuals aged 40 to 74 years of age. However, the consultation and follow-up rates for the intervention are still low. The present study aims to identify characteristics of health-related behavior of the people who neglect it. We conducted a group interview targeting public health nurses and qualified dieticians of “A” prefectural branch office of the Japan Health Insurance Association who were regularly involved in performing the intervention. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data, and four themes were extracted: Self-taught practices, Defiance, Hesitation, and Resignation. Our results suggest that the public health advisors recognize the importance of modification of clients’ health-related misperception, improve their skills to develop a positive rapport with clients, and be involved in creating a supportive environment conducive to a healthy lifestyle.
