FACTORS RELATED TO ADOLESCENT SMOKING CESSATION INTENTIONS BASED ON THE THEORY OF HEALTH BELIEF MODEL

Abstrak

Smoking in adolescence has a serious impact on health, including lowering lung capacity, affecting cognitive function, and lowering physical ability. However, GYTS data in 2019 shows that most adolescents in Indonesia have tried to quit as much as 81.1% want to quit smoking as much as 80.8%, adolescents who can quit smoking as much as 87.7% and get quit support as much as 23.3%. The desire to quit smoking can be studied using the health belief model. This study aims to analyze the relationship between perceived threat, perceived barrier, and perceived benefit with smoking cessation intention in Indonesian adolescents. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross sectional design and secondary data from the 2019 GYTS. The total sample studied was 2.074 adolescents aged 13-15 years. The analysis data was carried out univariate and bivariate with the chi square test. The results showed that perceived threats (OR 3.7; CI 95% 2.8-4.8), perceived barrier (OR 3.1; CI 95% 2.4-4.0), and perceived benefit (OR 4.7; A 95% CI of 3.6-6.1) had a significant association with smoking cessation intention (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Respondents who felt threatened by their health had a 3.7 greater chance of quitting smoking, respondents who did not have a smoking cessation barrier had a 3.1 greater chance, and respondents who felt the benefits of quitting smoking had a 4.7 greater chance. The results of this study can be used as a plan for health promotion efforts to increase smoking cessation intentions in adolescents.
