Description
Introduction: Parental empowerment in monitoring adolescents plays a crucial role in preventing health-risk
behaviors. This research aimed to develop a model of parental empowerment against the prevention of health risk
behavior (PE-HRB) in adolescents based on the theory of health promotion model.
Methods: The research design used was an explanative survey method. The research population was parents who
have adolescent children in East Java and able to access online questionnaires. Consecutive sampling obtained a large
sample of 704 respondents from July - September 2020. Questionnaires were distributed using the online Zoho
platform and distributed to parents. The data analysis used a smart PLS (Partial Least Squares) statistical test with
significance level T>1.96.
Results: Personal factors positively and significantly influenced cognition and affect (T=2.82;p=0.005). Cognition and
affection variables influence on parental empowerment (T=5.19; p=<.001). Cognition and affection have no effect on
preventive behavior (T=1.49; p=.135). Parental empowerment is an important point in shaping preventive behavior.
Conclusions: Empowerment is a factor that significantly affects the formation of parental behavior without going
through commitment variables. Parental involvement in adolescents’ academic and personal lives is an important
aspect to prevent health-risk behavior in adolescents. Cognition and affection variables cannot directly form
preventive behavior but must go through parental empowerment pathways to form preventive behavior. Parental
empowerment has no effect on commitment, but commitment affects prevention behavior. Empowering parents is
a topic that can be used as material in health education in primary health services.
