 ABSTRACT

One of deviant behaviors found in children nowadays is their behavior of

using inhalant. Inhalant has become an alternative drug substitute in which the price
is reachable to the children and can cause an addiction. Inhalant may influence
health, social environment and culture. The objective of the research was to discover
the influence of the respondents’ characteristics (age, education, and income),
number of children, residency, habit, and parenting style the on behavior of using
inhalant in elementary school students in Sibolga in 2018.
This is a case control research with 60 respondents as the samples. The
research was done in Sibolga in May, 2018. The samples were divided into case
group and case group samples with 30 respondents each. They were taken by
saturated sampling technique in which the researcher took the controlled samples by
matching them. The independent variables consisted of age, education, income,
number of children, residency, habit, and parenting style; whereas the dependent
variables consisted of the behavior of using inhalant. The data were obtained
through interviews with questionnaires and scoring technique. Bivariate analysis was
performed by using chi-square testing and multivariate analysis was performed by
using multiple logistic regression testing.
The results of the research demonstrated that 80% of the case samples were
20 years old , 70% had low education, 70% had 2 children, 96.7% of those who
had inhalant behavior resided in the risky environments, 70% had bad habit, and
56.7% of parents whose children had behaviorof using inhalant applied permissive
parenting. The results of chi-square testing showed that there was a correlation of
age, education, number of children, residency, habit and parenting style with
behavior of using inhalant. The results of multiple logistic regression testing
demonstrated that parenting style was the variable with the most influence on
behavior of using inhalant in elementary school students in Sibolga (p= 0.000,
OR=23.296).
It is suggested that parents guide their children to the positive behaviors and
it is expected that the government make a policy to overcomethe behavior using of
inhalant in children.

Keywords: number of children, residency, habit, parenting, behavior of using

inhalant.
