Background: Stress or occupational stress has been associated with smoking or smoking cessation in previous studies. Smoking and smoking cessation is also associated with job type, however, there are little data for hospital employee who have smoke-free environment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of perceived stress and occupational stress on smoking behavior in hospital male employee.
Methods: One hundred fifty-eight male employees of one university hospital completed a self-administered questionnaire regarding socio-demographic factors, job characteristics, smoking behaviors, stress, and occupational stress that are assessed by Korean Occupational Stress Scale. Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess an association between smoking behaviors and occupational stress. Age, marital status, alcohol, type of job, type of employment, and shift work were adjusted for the analyses.
Results: Of 157 hospital male workers, 32 (20.4%) were current smokers and 56 (35.7%) were ex-smokers. Current smoking was associated with type of employment, type of job, and perceived stress. Lack of reward, a dimension of occupational stress, was important factor of current smoking (OR 1.03, 95%CI: 1.00-1.05, P=0.028) and barrier of smoking cessation (OR 1.03, 95%CI: 1.00-1.06, P=0.049).
Conclusion: This finding suggests lack of reward might affect current smoking and smoking cessation of hospital male employee.
