Purpose: The specific aims of this study was to find out the barrier to smoking cessation intervention in clinical practice among clinical nurses and compare them in high barrier group with those in the low barrier group. Method: The sample of this study consisted of 738 nurses practicing in general hospitals with over 400 beds throughout the country. The questionnaire was adopted from the 'Oncology Nurse's Tobacco Control Survey' used in the United Stated by Sarna et al.(2001). Result: Age, marital status, hospital experience, position were the variables related to the mean score of subjective resource insufficiency. The perception that the patient was not motivated to quit smoking was the most commonly identified barrier in low barrier group and the second most common barrier in high barrier group. Conclusion: Younger, with less clinical experience, single, staff nurses were the characteristics of nurses in the high barrier group. The smoking cessation educational program should be targeted to these populations. Further research is needed to develope strategies to reduce the perception associated with barriers in delivery of tobacco cessation interventions.

Purpose: This study investigated the rate of attempts to quit smoking and related factors in Korean adolescent smokers. Methods: The findings of this study were based on the data obtained from the '2015 $11^{th}$ Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey'. The number of subjects was 5,123. Results: 71.7% of adolescent smokers in our study group had made previous attempts to quit smoking. Logistic regression analysis showed that the following significant factors were related to attempts to quit smoking: smoking amount (OR=1.78, 95% CI=1.42~2.23), experience of secondhand smoking in family (OR=1.16, 95% CI=1.02~1.32), experience of smoking cessation education in school (OR=2.05, 95% CI=1.79~2.35) anti-smoking publicity (OR=1.34, 95% CI=1.17~1.55), and close friend's smoking (OR=1.63, 95% CI=1.24~2.17). Conclusion: Smoking cessation policies and programs, especially those targeting adolescent smokers, should consider the factors mentioned above when designing new interventions or campaigns.

Objective: The objective of this study is to explore factors that contribute toward improving the effectiveness of school-based smoking cessation programs for Korean adolescents. Methods: Thematic analysis was done on the feedback gathered from a focus group interview of 5 instructors with ample service experience at smoking cessation programs provided in school settings. Results: This study has identified 9 categories of initiatives that may contribute to improving the quality of existing programs. These nine categories were grouped into the following 4 themes. 1) Improvement in the structure of intervention: the programs should be restructured to allow more instruction time and better instruction environment; 2) Improvement in the content of intervention: the programs should develop differentiated contents considering the characteristics of adolescence; 3) Importance of rapport, adolescents' interests and compensation: the program should be more interesting to adolescents and provide rewards based on the rapport between instructors and adolescents; 4) Cooperation among smoking cessation instructor, school, and community: instructors, teachers at schools, and communities should cooperate actively with one another. Conclusions: The school-based smoking cessation programs will benefit from implementing the findings of this study in improving its effectiveness in smoking cession in adolescents.

Objectives: This study was performed to examine the factors affecting re-smoking in male workers. Methods: A self-administrated questionnaire survey was conducted during April 2003 to examine the smoking state of 1,154 employees of a company that launched a smoking cessation campaign in1998. Five hundred and eighty seven persons, who had stopped smoking for at least one week, were selected as the final study subjects. This study collected data on smoking cessation success or failure for 6 months, and looked at the factors having an effect on re-smoking within this period. This study employed the Health Belief Model as its theoretical basis. Results: The re-smoking rate of the 587 study subjects who had stopped smoking for at least one week was 44.8% within the 6 month period. In a simple analysis, the re-smoking rates were higher in workers with a low age, on day and night shifts, blue collar, of a low rank, where this was their second attempt at smoking cessation and for those with a shorter job duration (p<0.05). Of the cues to action variables in the Heath Belief Model, re-smoking was significantly related with the perceived susceptibility factor, economic advantages of smoking cessation among the perceived benefits factor, the degree of cessation trial's barrier of the perceived barriers factor, smoking symptom experience, recognition of the degree of harmfulness of environmental tobacco smoke and the existence of chronic disease due to smoking (p<0.05). In the multiple logistic regression analysis for re-smoking, the significant variables were age, perceived susceptibility for disease, economic advantages due to smoking cessation, the perceived barrier for smoking cessation, recognition on the degree of harmfulness of environmental tobacco smoke, the existence of chronic disease due to smoking and the number of attempts at smoking cessation (p<0.05). Conclusion: From the result of this study, for an effective smoking ban policy within the work place, health education that improves the knowledge of the adverse health effects of smoking and the harmfulness of environmental tobacco smoke will be required, as well as counter plans to reduce the barriers for smoking cessation.

이 연구는 강원도 원주시와 춘천시에 거주하고 있는 만 19세 이상 성인 600명을 대상으로 두 지역 간 흡연 상태에 차이가 있는지를 탐색하고, 지역 내 금연프로그램 경험이 금연 시도에 영향을 미치는지를 평가하였다. 연구결과 원주시는 춘천시보다 현재흡연율이 더 높고, 흡연기간은 더 길었으며, 흡연 시작 연령은 춘천시보다 더 낮았다. 원주시의 현재흡연율이 춘천시보다 더 높았음에도 불구하고 관할지역 내 보건소 등에서 운영하는 금연 교육프로그램의 이수 경험률이 원주지역에서 더 낮았고(OR=0.52, 95% CI=0.33~0.81), 금연클리닉의 이용률도 더 낮았지만 유의하지는 않았다. 지역 내 금연프로그램 경험이 금연 시도에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 원주시는 금연교육 이수자와 금연클리닉 이용자가 그렇지 않은 대상자에 비해 각각 OR=2.31, OR=2.29로서 금연 시도 경험이 더 높았고, 춘천시의 경우도 금연지원서비스를 인지하고 있는 대상자의 금연 시도 경험이 그렇지 않은 대상자에 비해 OR=2.26배 더 높았다. 하지만 두 지역 모두 적은 표본수로 인하여 통계적 유의수준에 도달하지는 못하였다. 이 연구결과를 바탕으로 해당보건의료기관은 지역주민의 금연지원서비스에 대한 인식 제고와 흡연자의 금연 시도를 높이기 위한 지역 내 보다 실용성 있는 금연 교육프로그램을 개발하고 지역-밀착형 홍보로 접근성을 제고하여 현재흡연율의 지역 격차를 해소할 수 있는 중재전략을 마련할 필요가 있다.

Four hundred and thirty-five Chinese smokers who had attended the first smoking cessation clinic and received stage-matched individualized cessation counseling in Hong Kong during the period of August 2000 to January 2002 were successfully followed-up between February and August 2008. Some 38% of the participants (165/495) had stopped smoking during the 12-month follow-up after treatment. Participants with higher conscientiousness score (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.09 - 2.48) and lower openness to experience score (OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.45 - 0.92) showed a greater likelihood of quitting smoking after controlling the effect of daily cigarettes smoked and stage of readiness at baseline. The study suggests an important role of conscientiousness and openness to experience on long-term quitting behaviors following treatment, and provides useful information for the development of matched intervention for smoking cessation among Chinese smokers.

육지와 떨어진 제약적 환경 때문에 선박에서 근무하는 해기사는 사무직근로자보다 보건소와 같은 금연지원체계에 대한 접근성이 떨어질 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국 해기사의 흡연 및 간접흡연 실태를 파악하고 관련요인을 조사하기 위해 총 155명의 대상자에게 홉연 및 간접흡연 경험, 흡연에 대한 지식, 태도 및 금연의도와 선박 내 흡연시설에 대해 설문하였다. 조사 결과, 대상자의 흡연율은 32.3%였고, 간접흡연율은 86.5%로 높은 수준이었다. 선박 내 금연구역이 있는 경우에도 대부분의 흡연행위가 휴게실과 같은 해기사들의 생활 공간에서 주로 발생한다고 답하였다. 또한 선박 내 지정흡연실이 없거나 환풍시설이 미비한 경우도 40%정도에 이르는 것으로 조사되었다. 한편, 대상자 중 금연교육을 받은 사람은 21.9%에 불과하였다. 흡연행위에 대한 태도는 34.58점(총 60점)으로 부정적이었고, 흡연에 대한 지식은 16.12점(총 20점)으로 중간보다 높았다. 흡연자 10명 중 9명은 금연을 시도한 경험이 있었으나 금연 의도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 제한된 공간에서 근무와 생활을 병행하는 장기간 체류하는 해기사들의 흡연율을 감소시키기 위해서는, 해기사가 활용 가능한 방법으로 주기적인 금연교육을 통해 동기를 부여하고 금연의도를 높일 필요가 있다. 또한 정기적으로 흡연 실태조사를 조사하여 간접흡연의 피해를 주기적으로 파악하는 한편, 선박 내 흡연관련시설 등 환경적 요인에 대한 법규를 재정비하는 등 제도적 정비가 필요하다.
