This study was done to investigate the relation of smoking temptation, stage of change in smoking cessation, nicotine dependency and perceived health status in middle aged men.
Convenience samples of 176 subjects who were either smoked or used to smoke, aged between 30 to 64, living in Seoul and Kyungi province area in Korea were selected for the study. The data was collected from December 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000. The research instrument were Stage of Change of Smoking Cessation Measure (DiClemente et al., 1991), Smoking Temptation Measure (Velicer, DiClemente, Rossi, Prochaska, 1990), Perceived Health Status Measure (McDowell & Newell, 1996), and Nicotine Dependency Scale (FTQ: Fagerstrom, 1978).
The data were analyzed using the SAS Program.
The result of the study are as follows:
1. The analysis of variance and multiple comparison showed that according to the stage of change, there were significant mean differences in the three sub-factors of smoking temptation: ´positive affect situation (F=12.64, p=.0001), ´negative affect situation (F=16.01, p=.0001)´, ´habitual craving situation (F=14.43, p= .0001) ´ and nicotine dependency (F= 4.12, p=.0033) The mean score for smoking temptation for the subjects who were in the precontemplation stage outweighed the mean score for smoking temptation for subjects who were in the maintenance stage.
2. Through discriminant analysis, it was. Found that negative affect situation was the most influential variable of the smoking temptation sub-factors which can be used to discriminate stage of change.
3. The analysis of Pearson correlation coefficients showed that there was a significant positive relation between nicotine dependency and negative affect situation of smoking cessation((r=0.2182 p=0.0045) and a significant negati relation between nicotine dependencY an perceived health status (r =-0.2115, P=0.0059) .
