The study aimed to help one junior high school in Hsinchu City to develop an anti-smoking course. After scenario analysis, the researcher worked with the collaborative teacher, an art teacher, to develop an anti-smoking art course, to supervise the implementation of the course, and to evaluate the results via the action research method. This study explored the process and effectiveness of this anti-smoking course. The evaluation indicatorsinclude knowledge of smoking, self-efficacy to refuse smoking, smoking behavior, future smoking intention, and advising not to smoke. We adopted quasi-experimental design. There were two classes participating in this study. One served as the experimental group, and the other served as the control group. The former received a six-week intervention course of smoking prohibition, and the latter received no special courses about smoking prohibition. The study results show: (1) Students in the experimental group significantly have better knowledge of smoking and self-efficacy to refuse smoking. (2) The number of smokers decreased in the experimental group in past 30 days. (3) The future smoking intention of students in the experimental group decreased significantly. (4) Only two students from the experimental group said they would not advise their family not to smoke in pretest; however, they changed their mind after post-test. Nevertheless, in the control group, the number of students who would like to advise thir family not to smoke did not change between pretest and post-test. To sum up the results of this study, the smoking prohibition course integrated with art teaching could significantly enhance the students’ knowledge about anti-smoking and self-efficacy to refuse smoking, reduce their future smoking intention and the number of smokers. The students are more willing to advise their family not to smoke. The research results could be helpful for any schools or educational institutions that need to develop smoking prohibition courses or health promotion plans. |
