Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was done to discover predictive factors of short-term and long-term tobacco cessation behavior based on the theory of planned behavior.
Methods: The subjects were 152 visitors who registered at 2 smoking-cessation clinics of a public health center in U city. The data was collected using structured questionnaires from February, 2007 to January, 2008, and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, and logistic regression analysis.
Results: 80.9% of the subjects had tried to quit smoking in the last year. The rate of success in tobacco cessation at 4 weeks was 81.6% and perceived behavior control was the significant predictive factor of tobacco cessation behavior. Non-smokers had a greater positive attitude and stronger perceived behavior control than smokers. At 12 weeks after registration, the rate of success in tobacco cessation decreased to 59.9% and the significant predictive factor of tobacco cessation behavior was intention. Non-smokers had a stronger perceived behavior control and stronger intention than smokers.
Conclusion: A program that improves perceived behavior control should be set up according to the length of cessation. A specialized program which focuses on the predictive factor should be supplied to help smokers be successful in tobacco cessation.
