Mayke Della Friska Ginting 107029007 The Effectiveness of Focus Group Discussion to Enhance Smoking Self Efficacy in Early Adulthood Categories of Medium Smoker Men ix + 128 pages, 17 tables Bibliography, 54 (1987-2013) Smoking has a negative impact for health and the environment, but quitting smoking is not an easy task (Sarafino, 2006). The concept of reciprocal determinism proposed by Bandura (1997) explained that Smoking Behavior has a reciprocal relationship with Person and Environment. Self efficacy within the Person is one important aspect, in which the degree of Smoking Self Efficacy (SSE) have a role with the ability to control smoking desire at high risk situation. This research uses a mixed method design in which utilize focus group discussion (FGD) as main technique to facilitate the enhancement of smoking self efficacy through vicarious learning, mastery experiences, verbal persuasion, and affective state. The respondents are 5 men age 20 – 22 with medium level of Smoking Behavior. Change on SSE was measured using Smoking Self Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ), along with observation and interviews. The results showed that FGD is effective to increase SSE and it tend to settled even after a month later. After intervention, respondents claimed that they are more confident in the ability to control their desire to smoke in almost all high risk situation, except when they are together with friends who do smoke and when drinking coffee. Furthermore, FGD facilitates vicarious learning the most, respondent became models for other respondents about controlling the desire to smoke. Therefore FGD is recommended to facilitate SSE enhancement in similar group of respondent. It also can be suggested to find out the effect on other groups based on gender, age, social situation, and different level of Smoking Behavior.

Mayke Della Friska Ginting 107029007 Efektivitas Focus Group Discussion Terhadap Peningkatan Smoking Self Efficacy Pada Kelompok Pria Dewasa Awal Kategori Perokok Sedang ix + 128 halaman, 17 tabel Daftar Pustaka, 54 (1987-2013) Merokok berdampak negatif terhadap kesehatan dan lingkungan, namun berhenti merokok tidak mudah dilakukan (Sarafino, 2006). Konsep reciprocal determinism yang dikemukakan Bandura (1997) menunjukkan bahwa perilaku merokok memiliki hubungan timbal balik dengan person dan lingkungan. Salah satu aspek dalam person adalah self efficacy. Semakin tinggi smoking self efficacy maka semakin yakin seseorang akan kemampuannya untuk mengontrol keinginan merokok pada high risk situation yang memicu keinginan merokok. Teknik yang digunakan adalah focus group discussion (FGD) yang diharapkan dapat memfasilitasi peningkatan smoking self efficacy melalui vicarious learning, mastery experiences, persuasi verbal dan affective state. Penelitian menggunakan desain mixed method. Perubahan smoking self efficacy diukur dengan smoking self efficacy questionnaire (SSEQ), observasi dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa focus group discussion (FGD) efektif meningkatkan smoking self efficacy. Peningkatan yang terjadi bersifat menetap setelah sebulan kemudian. Setelah menjalani FGD, responden menyatakan lebih yakin terhadap kemampuannya untuk mengontrol keinginan merokok pada hampir seluruh high risk situation kecuali pada situasi saat bersama teman yang merokok dan saat minum kopi. FGD memfasilitasi terjadinya vicarious learning sehingga responden yang satu menjadi model bagi responden lainnya berkaitan dengan mengontrol keinginan merokok. Dengan demikian disarankan untuk memanfaatkan teknik FGD untuk memfasilitasi peningkatan smoking self efficacy pada kelompok lainnya dari jenis kelamin, kelompok usia, situasi sosial dan tingkat keparahahan yang berbeda.
