Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of depression cognition and health promoting behaviors of smoking and non-smoking college students.
Methods: The research design was a descriptive survey study, and 379 college students were selected by convenience sampling. Measurements were Fagerstrom test for Nicotine Dependence, Depressive cognition and Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and logistic regression were used to analyze the data.
Results: 1) Smoking students showed lower scores in depressive cognitions than non-smoking students, which means that the smoker’s depression was higher than the non-smokers. 2) Depressive cognition and health promoting behaviors were negatively correlated for the smokers (r=-.30, p＜.01), while they were positively correlated for the non-smokers (r=.45, p＜.001). 3) The variables predicting the smoker’s health promoting behavior were physical activity (OR .24), health responsibility (OR .25), spiritual growth (OR 5.10), stress management (OR 4.41), extrovert personality (OR .25), and depressive cognition (OR 1.81).
Conclusions: Depression and health promoting behavior should be considered in the smoking cessation programs for college students.
