THE EFFECT OF SMOKING BEHAVIOR ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG FINAL YEAR STUDENTS BY USING PRECEDE MODEL IN SARI MUTIARA INDONESIA UNIVERSITY, INDONESIA
Introduction: The quality of life (QoL) of university students is an important aspect of creating the next leader in
the future, developing strong human resources, and improving the quality of generation. Therefore it is important
to understand the factors involved in improving the QoL of university students. Methods: This study intended to
explore QoL among the final-year students and factors related to it in the University by applying the PRECEDE
model through a cross-sectional study. A total sample size of 171 final-year students was drawn by using
proportional sampling and probability proportional to size (PPS) for program selection and selected samples from
each study program by accidental technique. Data were collected using the self-administered questionnaire, and
WHOQOL-BREF was used to measure the QoL. Result: Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate. The
overall QoL was moderated (59.6%). There was a significant association between the availability of selling
cigarettes around the university and QoL (p=0.019), ease to buy cigarettes, and QoL (p= 0.038). Enabling factors
especially had a direct impact on the QoL. Conclusion: Providing regulations related to smoking to the academic
community, giving moral responsibility to lecturers, and controlling the selling of cigarettes around the university
would help increase the QoL.
