Efektivitas strategi mental contrasting implementation intentions (MCII) terhadap penurunan ketergantungan nikotin pada remaja akhir

Abstract

Smoking behavior in late adolescence is one issue that needs special attention. Mental Contrasting Implementation Intention (MCII) strategy is one of the strategies that can be applied to adolescent smokers. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the MCII strategy for reducing nicotine dependence in late adolescents in Banda Aceh by involving 13 samples of smokers ranging in age from 19-21 years with low levels of nicotine dependence and also having high visual image clarity scores. The research method used is an experimental method with a pre-experimental design model in the form of one group pretest-posttest design. Measuring instruments used are the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) and Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire-Revised Version (VVIQ-RV). FTND is used to measure the level of nicotine dependence, both before and after treatment, while visual image clarity is measured (VVIQ-RV). Data were analyzed using a nonparametric method namely the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test formula with a significance value (p) = 0.001 (p <0.05). These results indicate that there are differences in the level of nicotine dependence based on FTND measurements before and after MCII strategy treatment.
