Purpose: This study is based on an experimental research program designed to evaluate the before and after states of a control group that undertook a series of smoking prevention education sessions. Methods: The research was undertaken between June 2 and July 22, 2008. Students from two public elementary schools in Uiwang City took part in the study. 76 students from one of the schools (School 'W') were designated as the experimental group and 89 students from the other school (School 'O') were allotted to the control group. During the research period, the experimental group held 10, 40 minute discussions on the subject of smoking prevention. The control group had no such sessions and no information was given. The data was collected in 3 stages, firstly after initial study preparation, secondly after five sessions and thirdly after ten sessions. The data was analysed using the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. Results: First, there was a presumption that the experiment group would have a greater knowledge about the effects of smoking than the control group. This was supported by the data analysis results (F=41.79, p =.000). Second it was presumed that the experiment group would have a more informed attitude to smoking than the control group. This was supported by the data analysis results (F=6.917, p =.009). Third, there was the presumption that the experiment group would have a greater knowledge of the effects of smoking after ten sessions than they would five sessions. This was supported by the data analysis results (F=56.911, p =.000, Scheffe=3rd> 2nd>1st). Fourth, the presumption held that the experimental group would have a more informed attitude to the effects of smoking after ten sessions than they did five. This was supported by the data analysis results (F=14.607, p =000, Scheffe=3rd>2nd>1st). Conclusion: The results appear to show that the elementary school students who participated in the smoking prevention sessions had an increased knowledge of the risks and had also formed a more negative attitude towards smoking. On the basis of the findings of this study, I would suggest that there are benefits in developing learner-centered smoking prevention programs and other related media. Also, smoking prevention discussions should be included in the regular curricula relating to health education.

본 연구는 이스라엘 보사교육부가 중학생을 위하여 개발 실시한 흡연예방 교육프로그램의 효과를 분석하고자 실시되었다. 이스라엘은 15세 미만의 청소년 흡연율이 다른나라 청소년들의 흡연율에 비해 가장 낮음에도 불구하고 18세가 되면서부터 청소년 흡연율은 현저하게 증가되고 있다. 이를 이스라엘 정부에서는 청소년들이 만 18세가 되면 2년간의 국방의무를 수행해야 하기 때문인 것으로 분석하고 있다. 때문에 이스라엘 정부는 청소년들이 흡연을 시작하기전에 흡연을 예방하고자 'To Breathe Clean Air'라는 흡연예방 교육프로그램을 계획 하였다. 본 연구는 단일군 사후 설계로 대상은 중학교 1, 2 학년생(7-8graders) 135명이었으며, 연령은 12-14 세로 11%가 흡연 경험이 있거나 흡연중이었고, 이들 중 24%는 이미 10세때부터 흡연을 시작했었다. 흡연하는 남학생이 여학생보다 유의하게 많았으며(p<.01), 학교성적이 스스로 열등하다고 생각하는 군이 그리고 친한 친구중에 흡연자가 있는 군이 흡연을 많이 하는 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 부모중에 한분이상이 흡연하는 학생이 30%를 차지하였는데, 부모님이 흡연시 그 자녀의 흡연률이 높았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 흡연에 대한 지식정도는 70%의 학생이 중이상의 지식정도를 가지고 있었는데, 남학생일수록, 학년이 높을수록, 학교성적이 우수한 학생일수록, 그리고 친한 친구중에 흡연자가 없을수록 흡연에 대한 지식정도가 높게 나타났고, 이들중 성별과 학년은 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 흡연에 대한 태도는 남학생일 때, 부친이 흡연을 하고 있을 때, social pressure를 잘 견딜수 있다고 한 군에서 더 부정적인 태도를 보였다(p<.01). 형제들 중 흡연자가 없는 군, 그리고 학교성적이 우수한 군이 흡연에 대한 부정적인 행동의도를 가지고 있었다(p<.01). 흡연에 대한 지식정도가 높을수록 흡연에 대해 더 부정적인 태도를 보였고, 흡연에 대한 부정적인 행동의도를 가진 학생들이 흡연에 대해 더 부정적인 태도를 보였다(p<.01). 흡연예방 교육프로그램 실시후 40%의 학생들이 이 프로그램이 흡연 예방에 효과가 있을 것임을 예측했고, 프로그램에 대한 관심정도는 여학생들이 높았으나(p<.05), 프로그램에 대한 만족정도는 남학생들에서 더 높게 나타났다(p<.01). 이상에서 친한 친구나 부모중에 흡연자가 있을 때 학생들은 흡연을 쉽게 배운다고 나타나 청소년 흡연에는 동료나 부모의 영향과 함께 사회적 압력을 견듸어낼 수 있는 자기효능감이 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이미 10세 이전에 흡연을 시작하는 학생이 있어 흡연예방 교육프로그램은 초기청소년기에 실시되어져야 한다고 본다.

Background: Community pharmacists play an important role in tobacco control and adequate training on smoking cessation is essential. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design was used. A one-day workshop on smoking cessation organized by Indonesian Pharmacists Association as part of PCE program was offered to 133 community pharmacists. The workshop consisted of a 3-hour lecture and a 3-hour role-play session. Pre-training and post-training surveys assessed the impact of training on parameters including knowledge, perceived role and self-efficacy with respect to smoking cessation counseling practices. Intention and ability to perform counseling using the 5A framework was assessed after training only. Results: After PCE, knowledge score significantly increased from $24.9{\pm}2.58$ to $35.7{\pm}3.54$ (p<0.001). Perceived role and self-efficacy in smoking cessation counseling also significantly increased from $25.8{\pm}2.73$ to $28.7{\pm}2.24$, and $27.6{\pm}4.44$ to $32.6{\pm}3.63$, respectively (p<0.001). After the workshop, most participants were willing to ask, advise, and assess patients who ready to quit, but were still less likely to assist in quitting plans and arranging follow up counseling. More than 75% pharmacists were able to perform cessation counseling and 65% of them can completely perform a 5A brief intervention. Conclusions: PCE can enhance pharmacists' knowledge, perceived role, self-efficacy in cessation counseling practices, and create willingness and ability to perform cessation counseling. Future training is recommended to improve skills in assisting quitting plans and arranging follow up.

Background: Cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Tobacco consumption has grave negative consequences for health so that it is important to understand the reasons and motivations towards cigarette smoking and barriers against quitting smoking among the young generation for developing effective policies to control this widespread problem. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey was carried out at the Faculty of Medicine, Rabigh, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 438 young smokers participated from the University and the general population. Data were collected through anonymous, self-administered questionnaires in the Arabic language that contained questions about the reasons and motivations towards cigarette smoking and barriers against quitting smoking. The questionnaire also contained several questions regarding knowledge and attitude of the participants towards cigarette smoking. The data was analyzed on SPSS-16. Results: The mean age of the respondents was $22.9{\pm}3.48$, out of 438 subjects 87 (19.9%) were married, and 351 (80.1%) were unmarried, and 331 (75.6%) belonged to urban areas while 107 (24.5%) were from the rural areas. Responding to a question about a number of cigarettes smoked per day, 31% answered 11-20, 29% answered 21-30, and 25% answered 1-10. Questioned about smokers in the family, 34.5% responded more than one, with 19% for brother and 13% for father. About the reasons for not quitting smoking, 26% described lack of willpower, 25% had no reason, 22% said that people around me smoke, and 15.3% responded stress at home/work. The major motivation for smokers was smoker friends (42%), for 33.8% others, for 12% father/brother and 7.8% media. Conclusions: There are several avoidable and preventable reasons and barriers against quitting smoking. However, knowledge and attitude about smoking were good, and the majority of the smokers were well aware of the associated hazards.

For the past 10 years, the number of male smokers has dwindled. On the other hand, the number of female smokers has increased abruptly. Cigarette smoking is more hazardous to a woman than to a man because it can affect her health and her fetus during pregnancy. Many studies show that cigarette smoking is one of the most important risk factors determining the mortality and the morbidity of various kinds of diseases such as lung cancer and pharyngeal cancer. But, it is also known to be one of the risk factors we can handle and prevent easily. The subjects of this study consisted of 263 female nursing students in Seoul and Chonbuk Province. Using questionnaires, we were collected data from December 1 to December 10 1998. The questionnaire included 24 questions related to environmental factors and 14 questions related with self-efficacy. The statistical analysis was done with SPSS ver. 8.0(SPSS Inc. U.S.). The results of this study are as follows. 1) Cigarette smoking in women was influenced by her family or friends. That is to say, the higher number of her friends or family members who smoked cigarettes, the more likely a woman was to become a smoker. Economic status and knowledge level about the risks of cigarette smoking were also related to women smoking. So, women with lower levels of economic status and less knowledge about the risks of cigarette smoking were the more likely to become smokers. 2) Woman with higher levels of self-efficacy were less likely to become smokers. 3) The factors influencing a woman's smoking were whether her friends smoked, whether her mother smoked and her self-efficacy in that order. Environmental factors, self-efficacy were found to be important factors influencing smoking in women. It is suggested a quit-smoking program for women college students, be based on consideration of these environmental factors and self-efficacy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a school-based peer leader centered smoking prevention program. Methods: Non-equivalent control group with a pre/post-test design was used. Students (n=174) in two boys' junior high schools located in D city, Korea participated with 85 being selected for the experimental group and 89 for the control group. Five sessions were given to the experimental group and a 50 minute lecture to the control group. Knowledge, attitude, nonsmoking intention, and nonsmoking efficacy were measured for the both experimental and control group at two weeks before the program and one month after the program was completed. Data were analyzed using ${\chi}^2$-test, Fisher's exact test, independent t-test and paired t-test with the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: The experimental group showed higher overall knowledge, negative attitude toward smoking, and higher non-smoking intention and efficacy. After receiving the school based peer leader centered smoking prevention program scores for attitude toward smoking and nonsmoking efficacy increased in the experimental group were higher than in the control group. Conclusion: The school-based peer leader centered smoking prevention program needs longitudinal evaluation, but from this study, there is an indication that this program can be used with junior high school students and effectively change students' attitude toward smoking and promote nonsmoking efficacy.

Passive smoking is the involuntary inhalation of tobacco smoke by a person, especially a non-smoker, who occupies and area with smokers or a smoker. Passive smoking may cause eye and nose irritation, sore throat, headache, cough to everyone, and it is known that non-smokers have the same kinds of illness with smokers. Smoking rate among the adults aged over 20 in Korea is higher than that of the US or European conturies. Therefore we suppose that Koreans may be exposured to passive smoking than the people of other conturies. It is necessary that people have the knowledge on the heath problems caused by passive smoking and on prevention from the involuntary inhalation of tobacco smoke. I propose that the smokers should be informed the importance of smoking cessation.

Purpose: This study purposed to examine the disease-related knowledge level and compliance with good health behavior in patients with myocardial infarction according to the atherosclerotic risk factors. Method: The subjects consisted of 72 patients with myocardial infarction and the data were collected by interviewing the subjects with questionnaires and reviewing their medical records from September, 15, 1999 to July 31, 2000. Data were analyzed using the SAS program. Results: 1) With regard to atherosclerotic risk factors: of the subjects, 91.7% lacked regular exercise, followed by smoking (61.1%). 2) The average knowledge score of the patients was 19.7 and the average compliance score was 53.9. 3) There were no significant differences in the total knowledge scores according to the patients' atherosclerotic risk factors. 4) Non-diabetics were significantly higher in knowledge scores on domain of risk factors than the diabetics. 5) The overweight patients were significantly higher in knowledge score on domain of nature of disease than the normalweight patients. 6) The total compliance scores of the non-smokers were significantly higher than those of the smokers. 7) The total compliance scores of the patients who do regular exercise were significantly higher than those of the patients who forgo regular exercise. 8) The non-smokers were significantly higher in compliance scores on domain of diet than the smokers. 9) The diabetic patients were significantly higher in compliance scores on domain of smoking cessation than the non-diabetics. 10) Patients who do regular exercise were significantly higher in compliance scores on other domains than the patients who forgo regular exercise. Conclusion: According to the above findings, it can be concluded that intensive nursing care and education should be provided to patients who have atherosclerotic risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lack of exercise, over weight, or hypercholesterolemia to increase disease related knowledge level and to improve compliance with good health behavior.
