Abstract

Self-efficacy is an important factor in quitting smoking. The goal of this study was to describe the self-efficacy of quitting smoking and to investigate the factors that contribute to smoking cessation in low-income communities with pedicab drivers and traders working on the outskirts of Medan City. This study took an exploratory research approach, with data collected first through a questionnaire and then through additional interviews. The SSQ, which has been standardized in Indonesian, is used for interview guidance, and expert validity is used. The study included 39 people (32 men and 7 women) who worked as pedicab drivers and market vendors. The results showed that low self-efficacy was 15.3%, smokers with low self-efficacy had barriers to smoking cessation dominated by the mastery experience factor (56.4%). Barriers to quitting smoking are due to mastery experience, namely weak intentions and failure to learn from one's own experience. While the barriers to vicarious experience are due to the factor of seeing a peer group that remains healthy and happy because of smoking. Meanwhile, verbal persuasion is caused by a friend's invitation to women, while men are afraid of getting a bad image. Low self-efficacy was 15.3 percent, sufficient self-efficacy was 61.6 percent, and high self-efficacy was 23.1 percent, according to the findings. The mastery experience factor dominates the barriers to quitting smoking in smokers with low self-efficacy (56.4 percent ). It is hoped that the suggestions in this study will help smokers develop a strong will and a strong belief that they can quit smoking. It is also recommended that psychoeducation and counseling approaches be used to help people quit smoking.

Abstract

In terms of socio-economic, mental/psychological, and physical health, early marriage in adolescents has a negative impact on the teen's reproductive health. As a result of early marriage, women between the ages of 15 and 19 are twice as likely to die in childbirth. This is a correlational and cross-sectional approach to research. Teenagers aged 15 to 20 years who had married young were included in this study. The logistic regression test was used for the analysis. According to the study's findings, the perception of culture is the most influential factor, while promiscuity has no effect. If you find your children dating in inappropriate places, you can suggest marriage as a way of improving your economic and cultural life. Children's mental and physical health is at risk when parents marry young, according to this study.
