Abstract

Background: Smoking behavior among adolescents remains a public health problem that may lead to long-term health consequences. Junior high school students are a vulnerable population at risk of engaging in smoking behavior due to social environmental influences, particularly from peers and family members. Social norms and social networks play an important role in shaping adolescents’ ability to maintain non-smoking behavior. This study aimed to analyze the effects of social norms and social networks on non-smoking behavior among junior high school students in Boyolali Regency. Subjects and Method: This study employed a quantitative research method with a cross-sectio­nal design. The population consisted of 33,700 junior high school adolescents in Boyolali Regency. A total of 240 respondents were included in this study, and the data were collected using a stratified random sampling technique. The samples were obtained from eight junior high schools in Boyolali Regency, comprising four public junior high schools and four private junior high schools. Results: Based on Table 4, social norms had a significant effect on non-smoking behavior. Respondents with high social norms were 7.34 times more likely to engage in non-smoking behavior than those with low social norms (AOR = 7.34; 95% CI = 3.48 to 15.49; p = 0.001). Social networks also had a significant effect on non-smoking behavior. Respondents with high social networks were 7.78 times more likely to engage in non-smoking behavior than those with low social networks (AOR= 7.78; 95% CI= 3.68 to 16.43; p= 0.001). Gender was significantly associated with non-smoking behavior. Female respondents were 2.52 times more likely to engage in non-smoking behavior than male respondents (AOR = 2.52; 95% CI = 1.22 to 5.21; p = 0.012).  Conclusion: Social norms and social networks significantly influenced non-smoking behavior among junior high school adolescents in Boyolali Regency.

During the course of treatment, cervical cancer patients in Indonesia often face various challenges that may affect their quality of life and treatment outcomes. Some of the main challenges experienced by cervical cancer patients include physical, psychological, social, and economic aspects. This study aimed to explore the experiences of cervical cancer patients while undergoing treatment.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital, Surakarta, Central Java, parti-cular¬ly in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic. A total of 20 informants, consist¬ing of 1 key informant, 10 main informants, and 9 supporting informants, were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documen¬tation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman approach.Results: The study identified five themes: (1) the emotional journey of cervical cancer patients during treatment, (2) physical challenges experienced during cervical cancer treatment, (3) socio-economic barriers to undergoing cervical cancer treatment, (4) the role of social and spiritual support in patient resilience, and (5) the benefits of and expectations toward cervical cancer treatment.Conclusion: The perceptions of cervical cancer patients during treatment were not limited to medical aspects alone but also encompassed emotional, social, spiritual, and economic dimensions.
