The increasing use of electronic cigarettes (vapes), particularly among emerging adults, has become an important public health concern, making vaping cessation a priority for health promotion efforts. The development of interventions based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) requires the identification of salient beliefs underlying individuals' intentions to quit vaping. This study aimed to identify salient behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, and control beliefs as the basis for developing a TPB instrument to assess vaping cessation intentions among Indonesian emerging adults. A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was conducted using the elicitation procedure recommended by Ajzen. Thirty active vape users aged 18–29 years were recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an open-ended questionnaire exploring perceived advantages, disadvantages, social influences, and facilitating and inhibiting factors related to quitting vaping. Data were analyzed using content analysis and summarized based on the frequency of each salient belief. The findings revealed that health improvement and financial savings were the most prominent behavioral beliefs, family and romantic partners were the primary sources of normative support, while nicotine dependence, habitual vaping, and supportive social environments were perceived as the main control barriers to vaping cessation. These findings provide an empirical basis for developing a culturally relevant TPB instrument and may inform future educational programs and vaping cessation interventions targeting Indonesian emerging adults.
ABSTRAK
Penggunaan rokok elektronik (vape) terus meningkat, terutama pada kelompok emerging adults, sehingga penghentian penggunaan vape menjadi salah satu isu penting dalam kesehatan masyarakat. Pengembangan intervensi berbasis Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) memerlukan identifikasi salient beliefs yang mendasari pembentukan intensi berhenti menggunakan vape. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi salient behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, dan control beliefs sebagai dasar pengembangan instrumen TPB mengenai intensi berhenti menggunakan vape pada emerging adultsdi Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan desain deskriptif dengan pendekatan deskriptif melalui elicitation study yang direkomendasikan oleh Ajzen. Sebanyak 30 pengguna aktif vape berusia 18–29 tahun dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner terbuka yang mengeksplorasi keyakinan mengenai manfaat, hambatan, dukungan sosial, dan faktor yang mempermudah maupun menghambat penghentian penggunaan vape. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis isi (content analysis) dan disajikan berdasarkan frekuensi kemunculan setiap keyakinan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manfaat kesehatan dan penghematan biaya merupakan behavioral beliefs yang paling dominan, keluarga dan pasangan menjadi sumber dukungan utama dalam normative beliefs, sedangkan ketergantungan nikotin, kebiasaan menggunakan vape, dan lingkungan sosial merupakan hambatan utama dalam control beliefs. Temuan ini memberikan dasar empiris bagi pengembangan instrumen TPB yang lebih sesuai dengan karakteristik pengguna vape di Indonesia serta dapat menjadi acuan dalam penyusunan program edukasi dan intervensi penghentian penggunaan vape.
