Abstract

The Indonesian government has mandated Graphic warning labels (GWLs) on cigarette packages to achieve more comprehensive tobacco control interventions. However, smoking prevalence remains a public health issue in Indonesia. This current qualitative research aimed to explore the effect of cigarette GWLs on smokers’ perceptions about smoking and cigarette packaging in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and its influence on smoking behavior. The study participants consisted of 15 current smokers who were individually interviewed by using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis technique. Most participants perceived smoking as health-risk behavior yet lowered their risk perceptions of smoking-related diseases due to positive feelings of perceived current benefits of smoking and personal justification for smoking.  None expressed any intention to quit or showed smoking behavior changes due to GWLs exposure on cigarette packages. Participants also implicitly expressed themselves as victims willing to quit but unable and unconfident to act due to smoking addiction and other stressors. In contrast, others perceived themselves as risk-taker who enjoyed smoking. Further research is still needed to provide robust evidence on GWLs effectiveness on smoking perception and smokers’ cognitive and behavioral responses. Behavior change interventions should address positive feelings experienced and rationalization made by smokers to provide effective risk communication.

Abstract

Indonesia is a dengue-endemic area. DHF in Kupang City in 2014 was 487 cases, in 2015 was 665 cases, in 2016 was 1.213 cases, it was 2019 387 cases. The 3M+ behavior includes the habit of draining water storage, closing the water storage, burying old stuff, sowing larvicide powder, using mosquito insecticide, using mosquito bed-net, and avoiding the habit of hanging clothes. This study aims to analyze the relationship between 3M+ behavior and the incidence of DHF. This study was conducted in September 2019. This is a descriptive-analytic study with a case-control design. The results show variables related to the incidence of DHF are the behavior of draining water storage (P-value = 0.006), the behavior of closing the water storage (P-value = 0.002), and the behavior of using anti-mosquito insecticide (P-value = 0,000). Whereas the variables not related to the incidence of DHF are the behavior of burying old stuff (P-value = 0.616), the behavior of sowing larvicide powder (P-value = 0.493), the behavior of using mosquito nets (P-value = 0.067), and the behavior of hanging clothes (p-value = 0.512). It is recommended that 3M+ behavior should be done to prevent dengue hemorrhagic fever.
