慢性阻塞性肺病患者戒菸行為及其相關因素探討

Exploration of Smoking Cessation Behavior for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Related Factors

戒菸是避免慢性阻塞性肺病持續惡化，最經濟有效的方法，但部分病人仍持續吸菸。

 

採相關性研究設計，以方便取樣於胸腔科門診進行收案，共招募100位罹患慢性阻塞性肺病病人參與研究，以自填式問卷進行資料收集，內容包括人口學與疾病特性、戒菸行為階段量表、戒菸健康信念量表、戒菸自我效能量表及尼古丁成癮程度測試量表。

 

戒菸自我效能為戒菸行為之重要預測因子，醫護人員應強化患者的戒菸動機，增強戒菸的信心，進而提升戒菸成功率。

 

Smoking cessation is the most cost effective way of preventing deterioration of lung conditions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, some patients still keep smoking.

 

Using a predictive correlation study design, a convenient sample of 100 adults diagnosed with COPD was recruited from the pulmonary clinics of a medical center in Taiwan. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, which included questions on demographics and disease characteristics, the smoking cessation stage scale, the smoking cessation health belief scale, the smoking cessation self-efficacy scale, and the Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence scale.

 

Smoking cessation self-efficacy is the most important predictor for smoking cessation behavior in patients with COPD. Health care professionals should boost patients’ motivation and confidence to quit smoking in order to increase the success rate of smoking cessation.
