ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study assessed smoking-cessation stages of change using the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) and identified smoking cessation-related factors. Methods: Using a cross-sectional descriptive study, a convenience sample of 216 male construction workers answered a self-administered questionnaire including demographics, the Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale, and questions on the smoking-cessation stages of change through the PAPM. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-test, Fisher‘s exact test, and logistic regression. Results: The distribution of the PAPM stages of change in smoking-cessation was as follows: 9.7% unengaged, 32.4% engaged and deciding to quit smoking, 1.9% deciding not to quit smoking, 16.7% deciding to quit smoking, 8.3% acting, and 31.0% maintaining. The health beliefs related to smoking cessation indicated mean scores of susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, barriers, confidence, and health motivation of 2.23 ± 0.88, 3.23 ± 0.86, 3.41 ± 0.88, 2.57 ± 0.72, 3.37 ± 0.77, and 3.45 ± 0.64, respectively. The significant predictors of smoking cessation were smoking banned at home (OR = 2.61, 95% CI: 1.37-5.00), susceptibility (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.40-0.89), and confidence (OR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.29-3.27). Conclusion: The findings indicated that, to increase the rate of successful smoking cessation, it is necessary to forbid smoking at home and to implement smoking-cessation programs compatible with the smoking-cessation stages of change.
