Abstract

Background: Smoking among adolescents in Pidie, Aceh, is a growing public health concern, marked by increasing prevalence and significant household expenditure despite known health risks. This behavior persists due to cultural and social influences and a lack of motivation to quit, with adolescents' perceptions of risk, though crucial, not fully understood. Method : This analytical cross-sectional survey of 303 male high school students in Pidie used Partial Least Squares (PLS) to examine the relationship between Health Belief Model (HBM) factors and smoking cessation efforts. Result : The findings revealed that perceived barriers (t-statistic = 4.284 > t-table = 1.96), perceived susceptibility (t-statistic = 2.050 > t-table = 1.96), and perceived benefits (t-statistic = 4.082 > t-table = 1.96) had a direct significant relationship with cessation attempts, while perceived severity did not. Conclution: This study concluded that perceived barriers actually motivate quitting, with negative experiences like health problems for themselves or family acting as triggers. Therefore, understanding both the benefits and barriers is key to increasing smoking cessation motivation among adolescent males.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health concern in Pidie Regency, Indonesia. Although digital surveillance systems such as SKDR have been introduced, the effectiveness of dengue control still largely depends on the role and capacity of surveillance officers. This study aimed to explore the experiences of dengue surveillance personnel in Pidie Regency, focusing on their knowledge, reporting mechanisms, encountered challenges, and expectations regarding the surveillance system. A qualitative method with a phenomenological design was employed, involving 11 purposively selected informants. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman framework, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The analysis revealed six main themes: officers' knowledge and understanding of dengue, sources of data and case collection methods, the use of digital applications for reporting and analysis, implementation challenges in the field, cross-sectoral roles and support from village governments, and officers' expectations for improvement. The findings highlight that limited resources, technical issues, and insufficient intersectoral collaboration hinder effective surveillance. Strengthening the surveillance system requires responsive strategies that consider on-the-ground challenges. A deeper understanding of surveillance officers’ field experiences is crucial for developing adaptive and sustainable public health interventions for dengue control.
