本文研究了就业青少年避免吸烟的自我效能感及其与吸烟和戒烟行为、同伴和工作场所影响、尼古丁依赖和社会人口变量的关系。一项横断面调查收集了在马萨诸塞州10家参与调查的杂货店工作的15-18岁的就业青少年的数据。83%的员工(n = 379)完成了调查。多变量模型的结果表明,与不经常吸烟的人相比,每天吸烟的人对自己避免吸烟的能力缺乏信心。随着尼古丁依赖的增加,自我效能感的信念降低。此外,随着朋友鼓励戒烟的增加,自我效能感的信念也增加了。与工作相关的变量与吸烟者的自我效能感信念无关。这项研究表明,吸烟频率、尼古丁依赖和朋友鼓励戒烟与戒烟的自我效能有关。研究人员可能会为日常吸烟者和非日常吸烟者量身定制干预措施,建立鼓励戒烟和帮助吸烟者抵抗吸烟压力的同伴网络,并加强应对尼古丁依赖的策略。在高风险的情况下。(C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.版权所有。
This paper examines self-efficacy to avoid cigarette smoking and its association with smoking and quitting behavior, peer and worksite influences, nicotine dependence, and socio-dernographic variables among employed adolescents. A cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from employed adolescents ages 15-18 who worked in 10 participating grocery stores in Massachusetts. Eighty-three percent of workers (n = 379), completed the survey. Results from the multivariate model indicate that daily smokers were less confident in their ability to avoid smoking than those who smoked less frequently. As nicotine dependence increased, self-efficacy beliefs decreased. In addition, as friends' encouragement to quit increased, self-efficacy beliefs also increased. Work-related variables were not associated with self-efficacy beliefs among smokers. This study suggests that smoking frequency, nicotine dependence, and friends' encouragement to quit are associated with self-efficacy to avoid smoking. Researchers may tailor interventions for daily and less-than-daily smokers, build on peer networks that encourage quitting and help smokers resist pressures to smoke, and enhance strategies for coping with nicotine dependence. in high-risk situations.
