Factors associated with attempt for smoking cessation among hardcore smokers in Taiwan
No full textBackground: Tobacco control activities have mostly influenced those smokers who found it easier to quit and, thus, remaining smokers are those who are less likely to stop smoking. This phenomenon is called "hardening hypothesis," which individuals unwilling or unable to quit smoking and likely to remain so. The aim of this study was to identify the factors correlated with smoking cessation among hardcore smokers. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive correlational research design was employed. Hardcore smokers from communities in Taiwan were recruited to participate in the study (N = 187). Self-report questionnaires were used to collect demographic data as well as data on nicotine dependence, quitting self-efficacy, social smoking motives, attitudes towards the Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act (THPA), and smoking cessation. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the factors that were related to quit smoking. Results: About 30.3% (n = 54) reported having experienced quitting smoking over 7 days in the past year. Logistic regression analysis indicated that attitudes towards the THPA was identified as a particularly important factor contributing to the increase in smoking cessation among hardcore smokers. Conclusions: Nurses should cooperate with smoking cessation coaches to facilitate the improvement of attitudes towards the THPA as a key means through which to increase the smoking cessation rate among hardcore smokers

研究目的:探討越南廣治省婦女在產後6個月內的純母乳哺餵現況。
研究方法:
本研究採橫斷面式研究設計，以聚叢簡單隨機選取符合條件的個案，使用自擬結構式問卷調查收集資料，包括: 個案基本資料與相關因素(母育信心、母乳知識與態度、母乳哺餵的信念、配方奶廣告的接觸、嬰兒的健康狀況、母嬰連結、親屬的支持)。使用SPSS for Windows v. 20.0統計軟體進行統計分析，包括描述性統計分析與卡方檢定。
研究結果:
本研究共有334位母親參與，研究結果發現如下：母乳哺餵，純母乳哺餵和混合母乳哺餵率分別為94.3％，66.5％和26％。當嬰兒生病時，有49.1％的母親喜歡採母乳哺餵，有24％的母親在母乳哺餵期間出現乳房疼痛情形。大多數母親（85.3％）有高度信心以母乳哺餵提供自己孩子足夠的母乳。接近100％的母親在母乳哺餵期間表現出正向的情緒。71.9％的母親也非常了解母乳的益處。同樣，研究中觀察到母親對母乳哺餵的態度和信念良好。另外母親獲取母乳哺餵相關資訊來源主要是從臨床專業人員（73.7％），有關配方奶訊息的主要來源是親戚（41.3％）。
結論: 純母乳哺餵的現況應被釐清，包含母親教育程度、母乳哺餵信心、母乳哺餵知識與態度、哺餵資訊獲取來源與是否有人支持。本結果可提供給相關計劃和管理單位參考並有助於為將來有關改善純母乳哺餵的公共衛生策略
