Evaluation of Adults' Intention to Quit Smoking and Related Factors in a Primary Care Center

Öz

Introduction: This study aims to examine the smokers' intention levels to quit smoking and related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at XXX Family Health Center. The study population consisted of smoker individuals and seeking services at XXX Family Health Center. Research data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire (27 questions and the Intention to Quit Smoking Scale) after obtaining informed consent from the participants. Results: In a study with 268 participants who smoke cigarettes, the mean age of the participants was 41.20, 68.3% of them were male. The mean score for participants' intentions to quit smoking on the Quit Intention Scale was 23.70. According to the self-assessment of dietary habits, individuals who rated themselves as very unhealthy, engaged in physical activity, increased their cigarette consumption over the years, had prior attempts to quit smoking, and those with moderate to high levels of nicotine dependence showed the highest intention to quit smoking scale scores compared to other groups (respectively; p=0.012; p<0.001; p<0.001; p<0.001; p=0.008). In the correlation analysis, a weak negative correlation was found between the intention to quit smoking scale score and age (t=-0.153, p=0.012). According to the regression analysis, while doing physical activity decreased 5.420 times, the amount of smoking over the years increased 3.372 times; previous smoking cessation experience decreased 2.812 times intention to quit smoking. Conclusions: Health-related behaviors, prior quit attempts, and nicotine dependence were found to be crucial factors influencing quit intentions. The results underscore the importance of considering individual characteristics and experiences when developing smoking cessation interventions.
