Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between perceived health belief factors and the
intention for smoking cessation in utilizing the Health Belief Model (HBM) as the
theoretical framework. HBM identifies health components— Perceived Susceptibility,
Perceived Severity, Self-Efficacy, Perceived Benefits, Perceived Barriers, and Cues to
Action—that influences an individual's decision-making to engage with a healthpromoting behavior, such as smoking cessation. The research objective focuses on
determining significant correlations between HBM determinants towards the active
smokers' intentions in quitting. A cross-sectional survey examined a sample of 200
smokers classified between ages 18-60 years residing in Indonesia, which was selected
through a non-probability sampling to participate in the questionnaire. Kendall's TauB correlation coefficient was employed within the study to analyze the correlations
between the health belief components towards the intention to quit smoking. Results
showed that Perceived Susceptibility (P=.000), Perceived Severity (P=.000), SelfEfficacy (P= .000), Perceived Benefits (P=.000), and Cues to Action (P=.014) had
significant positive correlations with the Intention for Smoking Cessation. Research
findings emphasized the importance in addressing smokers’ beliefs regarding the
health consequences and risks, self-efficacy in quitting, and perception towards
challenges within smoking cessation as a health promoting behavior. Tailoring public
health awareness and prevention programs with deeper insights to the beliefs and
perceptions among smokers is suggested to reduce perceived barriers and enhance cues
to action as a more effective strategy in promoting smoking cessation.
Key Words: Health Belief Model (HBM), Cigarette Smoking, Health-Promoting
Behavior, Intention for Smoking Cessation.
