Abstract

|
Background: Since 2015, the government has supported smoking cessation treatment through the National Health Insurance in order to reduce smoking rates. The purpose of this study was to establish a successful smoking cessation rate and identify factors related to successful smoking cessation.
Methods: Fifty-four participants who visited the SahmYook Medical Center Smoking Cessation Clinic between March 2016 and January 2017 completed a questionnaire detailing general characteristics, such as sex, age, and body mass index; smoking-related questions, such as smoking amount, smoking duration, and nicotine dependency; and psychological factors, such as depression and stress. IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 22.0 software was used for statistical data analysis, including the chi-square test and the Mann-Whitney U-test. The statistical significance is defined as P<0.05.
Results: A logistic regression was performed based on the results of univariate analysis. Results revealed that participants having depressive symptoms tended to achieve a lower smoking cessation rate than those without the symptoms. Other variables did not produce significant results.
Conclusion: The participants of the smoking cessation treatment through the National health Insurance are increasing. To maximize the effectiveness of the smoking cessation treatment, psychological factors, such as depressive mood as well as medication should be considered.
