“…One way of addressing the issue of limiting or trying to alter people's unhealthy choices has been to raise doubts about the idea of liberty and, in particular, the notion of autonomy, or self-rule (Allmark 2008;Cheung and Yam 2005;Dworkin 1988;Lindley 1986;May 1994;Mcknight 1993;O'Neill 2001). Some people's self-harming decisions can be badly informed; Mill finds it acceptable to, for example, prevent someone from taking a route that he does not know is dangerous because a bridge might collapse.…”

Health promotion can reasonably be viewed as a major element in public health work. The latter was defined around a century ago as "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society." Health promotion involves (i) health education, such as advertising; (ii) illness prevention, such as screening; and (iii) legislation, such as banning smoking in public places. Although it has older roots, it is largely a phenomenon of the mid-twentieth century and beyond. Three factors stimulated

“…Workaday application of autonomy in health care understood minimally as a commitment to informed consent belies the complexity of the various conceptions (Oshana, 1998; Coggon, 2007). Allmark (2008, p. 41) defines individual autonomy as ‘the capacity of the individual to make and act upon judgments for which he is held morally accountable.’ If this is the case, the result of the equivalence of autonomy and accountability (or responsibility) could reasonably be expected to conclude that if a patient is considered to be sufficiently autonomous to be allowed to buy cream cakes, or to consent to weight reduction medication or surgery, then he is also sufficiently autonomous so as to be liable to be held responsible for his/her eating and the obesity which follows, regardless of the multiple factors which influence eating behaviour, recognized by the UK government in its foresight report (Butland et al ., 2007).…”

The concept of responsibility for health is a significant feature of health discourse and public health policy, but application of the concept is poorly understood. This paper offers an analysis of the concept in two ways. Following an examination of the use of the word 'responsibility' in the nursing and wider health literature using three examples, the concept of 'responsibility for health' as fulfilling a social function is discussed with reference to policy documents from the United Kingdom. The philosophical literature on moral responsibility is introduced, and in considering two versions, reactive attitudes and accountability, it is argued that in application both can be regarded, though with different emphasis, as being constituted in three parts: (i) a responsible agent (ii) having obligations (responsibilities) and (iii) being susceptible to being held responsible (that is blamed) if he fails to meet them. The three stage model is consistent with the examples of the word responsibility in use, but application to the social function model causes a number of problems for healthcare practice, especially for the reactive attitudes account. Apart from considerable problems in stating what exactly the obligations are and how they can be justified; and how blame might justly be apportioned and by whom, the very ideas of obligation and blame are in conflict with healthcare systems and professional nursing practice which have foundations deeply embedded in the notion of the supremacy of personal autonomy. It is concluded that current application of the concept of responsibility for health is conceptually incoherent, and if it is to retain its place in health policy and discourse, urgent remedy is required.

“…Seperti yang disebutkan sebelumnya bahwa kebebasan yang dimiliki individu menunjukkan suatu otonomi individu terhadap diri dan kehidupannya. Meski demikian kebebasan yang dimiliki individu tetaplah harus dipertanggungjawabkan-sejalan dengan pendapatAllmark (2008) yang menyebutkan jika otonomi yang dimiliki individu mensyaratkannya untuk bertanggung jawab secara moral atas suatu tindakannya sebagai individu otonom. Allmark menambahkan ketika individu bertindak secara otonom, besar kemungkinan juga bahwa ini akan menjadi kondisi yang cukup untuk membuatnya bertanggung jawab secara moral.…”

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membuat kontruksi skala karakter kemandirian pada siswa SMA sebagai instrumen pengukuran karakter kemandirian dengan melakukan validitas konstruk menggunakan principal component analysis (PCA). Populasi penelitian ini adalah siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA). Jumlah sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 337 responden, dengan teknik pengambilan sampel dengan purposive sampling di setiap wilayah yaitu pada SMA 1 Kabupaten Kerinci, SMA Negeri 1 Tanjung Jabung Barat, SMA Negeri 5 Kota Kabupaten Tebo dan SMA Negeri 12 Kabupaten Merangin, dan SMA Negeri 1 Kota Jambi dengan rentang usia 15 hingga 18 tahun. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa validitas konstruk yang menggunakan analisis Principal Component Analysis dengan rotasi orthogonal dan ekstraksi varimaks menghasilkan lima faktor yang berhasil diekstraksi yang berupa komponen ketekunan, kegigihan, dan gemar belajar. Hasil uji reliabilitas konsistensi internal dengan Metode Guttman λ=0.820. Norma alat ukur menggunakan standar deviasi hipotetik baik untuk setiap komponen maupun alat ukur keseluruhan. Alat ukur ini didukung oleh validitas konstruk yang baik serta reliabilitas yang memuaskan.
