Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on smoking-cessation success prediction in adult individuals who smoke. The study, designed with a quantitative cross-sectional, included individuals aged 18 and above who smoke and volunteered to participate. The "Sociodemographic and COVID-19 Information Form" and "Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale” were used as data collection tools. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the participation of 506 individuals. SPSS 26 Program and descriptive statistics were utilized in the analysis of the data. Participants who had experienced COVID-19, been hospitalized due to COVID-19, or lost a loved one due to COVID-19 and were vaccinated against COVID-19 were found to have higher smoking cessation success prediction scores. According to the study, 61.5% of the participants thought about giving up smoking as a result of COVID-19. Determining public health policies for this population, which may be at high risk for COVID-19 complications, and providing support for smoking-cessation could be beneficial.

COVID-19 PANDEMİSİNİN YETİŞKİN BİREYLERDE SİGARA BIRAKMA BAŞARI ÖNGÖRÜSÜ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 pandemisinin sigara kullanan yetişkin bireylerde sigara bırakma başarı öngörüsü üzerindeki etkisinin değerlendirilmesidir. Nicel yöntemle kesitsel türde tasarlanan çalışmaya 18 yaş ve üzeri, sigara kullanan ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü bireyler dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak “Sosyodemografik ve COVID-19 Bilgi Formu” ile “Sigara Bırakma Başarısı Öngörü Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Veriler 506 kişinin katılımıyla yüz yüze görüşme tekniğiyle toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 26 Programı ve tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden yararlanılmıştır. COVID-19 geçiren, COVID-19 nedeniyle hastanede yatan veya bir yakınını kaybeden, COVID-19 aşısı olan katılımcıların sigara bırakma başarısı öngörü puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların %61.5’inin COVID-19 nedeniyle sigarayı bırakmayı düşündüğü görülmüştür. COVID-19 komplikasyonları açısından yüksek risk altında olabilecek bu popülasyona yönelik halk sağlığı politikalarının belirlenmesi ve sigaranın bırakılması yönünde destek verilmesi faydalı olabilir.
