연구배경 : 우리나라의 성인 흡연율은 세계적으로 높고 청소년과 여성의 흡연율도 점차 증가하고 있다. 흡연이 이렇게 사회적으로 문제가 되고 있는 상황에서 효과적인 금연 프로그램이 필요한 상태이다. 이에 본 병원 금연 학교의 입원 금연 교육의 효과와 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1998년 1월부터 2001년 1월까지 본원 금연학교를 수료한 640명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 흡연자들의 특성을 조사하였다. 또한, 입원 대상 금연교육 대상자 235명중 응답 가능한 100명을 대상으로 이들의 특성 및 금연 성공 유무 등을 조사하였다. 결 과 : 금연 학교 등록자의 금연 동기로는 건강이 가장 많았고, 흡연 동기로는 스트레스가 가장 많았다. 입원 금연학교의 최소 1년 이상 금연율은 60%를 보였다. 입원 금연 교육 대상자에서 흡연 시작 연령과 직업이 금연 성공 유무와 의미 있는 연관을 보였다. 금연을 실패한 경우 일상 생활의 스트레스가 가장 흔한 원인이 였고, 1주에서 1개월 내에 흡연 재발이 많았다.
