Objectives: The higher smoking prevalence for vocational high school students compared to that in the high school has been described. The aim was to apply the PRECEDE Model to explore the association between three educational factors (predisposing, reinforcing and enabling factors) and student’s smoking behavior in vocational high schools in Pingtung area. Methods: Cross-sectional study design and the cluster sampling were used to obtain a representative sample in 3 vocational high schools (class=71). Overall, 2,127 students were included by using the structured questionnaire survey. The response rate was 85.3%. Polytomous logistic regression analyzed the relationship between student’s smoking behavior and three educational factors. Results: The results showed that prevalence of current smoking among vocational school students in Pingtung area was15.19% (male student: 19.4%, female student: 9.3%). The significant factors for vocational school student’s current smoking behavior were the predisposing factors i.e. the lower rank in the academic achievement (aOR=4.39; 95%CI: 1.68-11.47) and the middle rank in academic achievement (aOR=2.54; 95%CI: 1.06-6.06), the tobacco hazard knowledge aOR=0.86;95%CI: 0.77-0.96), the self-efficacy on anti-smoking (OR=0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.98). The reinforcing factors i.e. one fourth of best friends smoked (OR=3.60; 95%CI: 1.24-10.51) and the half of the friends smoking (OR=7.42; 95%CI: 2.59-21.27). The and enabling factors i.e. school tobacco prevention regulation with “students smoke in school will be forfeited” (aOR=0.40; 95%CI: 0.23-0.70). Application in nursing: the findings further suggest school health educator or school nurses are recommended to integrate these factors into anti-smoking programs to reduce such high school student’s smoking. |
