Abstract

Smoking relationship between stress levels and smoking intensity among students at State University of Medan. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 32 student smokers selected using stratified random sampling. Stress was measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), while smoking intensity was assessed through a structured questionnaire capturing frequency and related dependency patterns. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product–Moment correlation. Results showed a weak positive correlation between stress and smoking intensity (r = 0.271), indicating that higher stress tended to be followed by higher smoking intensity. However, the association was not statistically significant (p = 0.133), suggesting that stress alone does not among university students remains a public health concern and is frequently associated with academic and psychological demands. In Indonesia, where tobacco consumption is high, students may adopt smoking as a coping response to stress, yet empirical evidence on how stress relates to smoking intensity is still mixed. This study examined the adequately explain variations in smoking intensity in this sample. This finding implies that smoking intensity among students is likely shaped by multifactor influences, including peer exposure, social norms, self-efficacy, and contextual environmental factors, which may attenuate or override the direct role of stress. Therefore, campus-based interventions should integrate stress management with broader strategies targeting social and environmental determinants of smoking behavior. Further studies with larger samples and models testing mediating and moderating mechanisms are recommended.

Abstract

This study analyzes the literacy level of the community in Ulos Hamlet, Tanjung Rejo Village, as a basis for developing empowerment and functional literacy programs to support the potential of cultural tourism villages. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through participatory observation, focus group discussions, interviews using a checklist, and documentation studies, 22 informants were obtained purposively. The results show that no residents are at the basic literacy level. Four people are at the advanced literacy level with the ability to understand simple texts but are not yet consistent in their application. The majority (18 people) have achieved functional literacy, as seen from the application of literacy in economic activities such as the ulos weaving business, recording transactions, using cell phones, and simple digital promotion. These findings emphasize the need to strengthen digital literacy and business management to support the welfare and development of tourism villages.
