The aim of the study was to assess the transtheoretical model to the relevant factors of rejecting secondhand smoke among junior high school students. We examined whether students in different stages of change had different knowledge, processes of change, decisional balance and self-efficacy. Stratified cluster sampling method was conducted. We adopted self-administered questionnaire. A total of 871 questionnaires are sent returning 650 valid questionnaires and the rate of return is 70.5%. 30.6% of the participants are at the precontemplation stage, 17.6% are at the contemplation/preparation stage, 13.8% are at action stage, and 38.0% are at the maintenance stage. Junior high school students at the action stage scored the highest in knowledge of second-hand smoke, processes of change, pros of decisional balance and self-efficacy, followed by participants at the maintenance stage and those at the contemplation/preparation stage ,and finally counterparts at the precontemplation stage. The scores of cons of decisional balance show similarities in all stages.Participants had more positive performances regarding secondhand smoke if both genders of them had the higher levels of parent educational attainment, were non-smokers, did not living with smoker, and had non-smoking friends. We supported that the application of the transtheoretical model in studying the rejecting secondhand smoke among junior high school students. With the increase of knowledge, the use of processes of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy, participants will be able to pay more attention on preventing secondhand smoke. |
