Abstract

Smoking behavior in Indonesia is a major concern because of its impact on public health, especially with the increase in the number of adult smokers from 60,3 million in 2011 to 70,2 million in 2021 and the prevalence of smoking in adolescents aged 10-18 years from 7,2% to 9,1% in 2018. Men dominate adult smokers with a prevalence of 64,7%, while women are 2,3%. Smoking at home has a significant impact on the health of family members, especially women and children who are more vulnerable to exposure to passive cigarette smoke. Data shows that 56,8% of households are exposed to cigarette smoke, which increases the risk of heart disease, COPD, asthma, cancer, pneumonia, bronchitis, and SIDS. Therefore, education about the dangers of smoking at home is needed. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge about the dangerous impacts of cigarette smoke and efforts to stop smoking at home through "GERAK MASBRO", namely the smoke-free community movement. Increasing knowledge through counseling, educational media, and the establishment of smoking huts can raise public awareness so that they can prevent smoking habits at home.

Abstract

The Indonesian government implemented various health procedures, including home isolation, to mitigate SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Despite these efforts, understanding public readiness for self-isolation is crucial. This study aimed to assess self-awareness and preparedness for home isolation during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (January-April 2020). Employing an analytical cross-sectional design, data were collected from 1169 participants (household heads, spouses, and elderly members ≥60 years) in 11 sub-districts of Limo Depok, West Java, Indonesia, using a validated scoring questionnaire on internal and external perceptions of home isolation. Descriptive analysis and Fisher's Exact test (p<0.05) were performed. Findings revealed a predominant female participation (66% aged ≥60 years), with case categories comprising 3% suspicious, 3.4% travelers, and 93.7% non-confirmation cases; 32% had comorbidities. A critical external factor was high population density, with only 19% of residential locations meeting excellent standards. Strikingly, only 20.5% of participants expressed willingness to practice home isolation. This study underscores a significant gap in the public's willingness and environmental suitability for effective home isolation. Raising awareness and empowering families to independently curb transmission are crucial. Lessons from local COVID-19 cases emphasize the vital role of collaborative management and network development among local stakeholders to enhance pandemic response strategies.
