Keywords:
Smoking Behavior, Psychiatric PatientsAbstract
This descriptive research aimed to describe smoking behaviors and to identify factors related to smoking behaviors. Sample was 205 psychiatric patients admitted to inpatient department during February to April, 2019. They were recruited by purposive and multi-stage sampling method. Instruments consisted in a demographic recording form, and a smoking-behavior questionnaire. Quality of instrument was tested by experts for its content validity and reliability, yielding a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.86. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Chi-square test. Results showed as follows.
1. Overall, smoking behaviors in psychiatric patients were at a high level (M=2.38, SD=.74). Habitual smoking behavior was shown at the highest level (M=2.44, SD=.75). They reported that their smoking behavior arose from habitual smoking, positive attitude towards smoking, negative attitude towards life, and addiction to smoking. After smoking, they had a variety of physical and psychological symptoms, and were able to manage themselves not to smoke while they were admitted to the hospital. In addition, they needed health care providers to help them stop smoking.
2. Having close friends who smoked ( X2=9.045; p<.01) and the number of cigarettes per day ( X2=16.600; p<.01) were found to be related to smoking behaviors.
Group therapy for helping smoking withdrawal, prevention of smoking recurrence, and promoting smoking abstinence should be developed.
