Abstract:
In controlling the tobacco problem, the government only concentrates on environmental factors that only promote people to smoke and prevent them from quitting smoking. Ones' knowledge of the health impacts of smoking coupled with a strong desire and motivation to implement it trigger their desire to quit smoking. Thus, high motivation is essential in the quit-smoking process. The attainment of physiological, social, achievement and maintenance need determine the motivation to quit-smoking. This study aimed at examining the factors that influence the motivation level of coffee shop visitors in Aceh to quit smoking in term of fulfilling physiological, social, achievement, and maintenance need. This study used an analytical survey method. A total of 250 respondents were selected by purposive sampling at several coffee shops in one of the districts in Aceh. Questionnaires were used to collect the data in the form of Likert scale and analyzed with the Chi-square test. The findings showed
that the respondents' level of motivation to quit smoking was strongly influenced by physiological need (p = 0.004, Exp (B) = 0.605), social need (p = 0.000, Exp (B) = 0.975), achievement need (p = 0.000, Exp (B) = 0.862), and maintenance need (p = 0.004, Exp (B) = 0.605). Community nurses are encouraged to distribute leaflets about the dangers of tobaccos in coffee shops and work with coffee shop owners to establish no-smoking areas in the coffee shops.
