Abstract Abstract in Korean PDF PubReader ePub: Background
This study was conducted to identify the success rate for smoking cessation over time after participation in a therapeutic smoking cessation camp, and to identify how participant characteristics, including a supportive workplace environment for smoking cessation (SWESC), affect the success rate for smoking cessation.
Methods
In all, 296 participants at smoking cessation camps in Ulsan between 2015 and 2020 were investigated. The success rates of smoking cessation after weeks 4, 6, 12, and 24 at camp were investigated. The participants were grouped as workers with an SWESC, and workers without an SWESC, and variables (age, education, household income, marital status, drinking, exercise, body mass index, morbidity, job, number of counseling sessions, cigarettes smoked per day and smoking initiation age) were investigated. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted at each time point. In addition, Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the variables affecting the success rate for smoking cessation over time.
Results
The smoking cessation success rate of workers with an SWESC at week 24 (90.7%) was higher than that for workers without an SWESC (60.5%). Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine the relationship between each variable and the success rates for smoking cessation at week 6, 12, and 24. SWESC was confirmed as significant (p < 0.05) variables for increased success rate for smoking cessation at all 3 time points. After adjusting for all variables, the Cox proportional hazards survival analysis showed a hazard ratio of 6.17 for SWESC (p < 0.001,; 95% confidence interval: 3.08–12.38).
Conclusions
At a professional treatment smoking cessation camp, participants with an SWESC showed a significantly higher success rate for smoking cessation. Supportive workplace environment for workers’ health is expected to be an important factor for smoking cessation projects as well as other health promotion projects at workplace.; 직장의 금연에 대한 지지적 환경이 전문 치료형 금연 캠프의 금연성공률에 미치는 영향
목적
본 연구는 울산에서 진행된 전문 치료형 금연 캠프에 참가한 후 시간 경과에 따른 금연 성공률을 알아보고, 직장의 금연에 대한 지지적 환경 (SWESC: supportive workplace environment for smoking cessation)을 포함한 각 참가자의 특성이 금연 성공률에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 실시되었다.
방법
2015-2020년 울산 지역 금연 캠프 참가자 455명을 대상으로 자가 보고, 호기 일산화탄소, 소변 코티닌 수치를 이용하여 캠프 후 4주, 6주, 12주, 24주차 금연 성공률을 조사하였다. 캠프 참가자를 SWESC가 있는 근로자 및 SWESC가 없는 근로자로 분류하여 각 집단에서 변수 (연령, 교육 수준, 가계 소득, 배우자 유무, 음주, 운동, 체질량지수, 현병력, 직업, 상담 횟수, 하루 흡연량, 흡연 시작 연령)들의 비율을 알아보았고, 시점별 금연 성공률을 집계하였다. 변수와 금연 성공의 관계를 알아보기 위해 각 시점에서 다중 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 또한 시간 경과에 따른 금연 성공률에 영향을 미치는 변수를 평가하기 위해 Cox 생존 분석을 시행하였다.
결과
SWESC가 있는 근로자의 24주 금연 성공률 (90.7%)은 SWE가 없는 근로자 (60.5%)보다 높았다. 캠프 후 6주, 12주, 24주째 금연성공률과 변수에 대하여 다중 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 실시한 결과, 세 시점에서 모두 금연에 유의한 (p < 0.05) 변수는 SWESC로 나타났다. 모든 변수를 조정하여 Cox 비례 위험 생존 분석을 실시한 결과 SWESC의 위험비는 6.17 ( 95% 신뢰구간: 3.08-12.38)였다.
결론
금연 캠프 참가자 중 SWESC가 있는 참가자는 금연 성공률이 유의하게 높았다. 근로자의 건강에 대한 지지적인 직장 환경은 금연 사업 등 보건 사업의 성공에 중요한 요인이 될 것으로 예상된다.

The Relationship between Job Stress and the Will to Cease Tobacco Smoking for Small and Medium Scale Industry Male workers: Seung Jun Lee, Shin Goo Park, Hwan Cheol Kim, Dong Hoon Lee, Gi Woong Kim, Jong Han Leem, Seong Hwan Jeon, Yong Seok Heo; Korean Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 2012;24(1):33-39. Published online March 31, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.35371/kjoem.2012.24.1.33

OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between job stress and the willingness of male workers in small and medium scale industry to cease smoking.
METHODS
A structured self-reported questionnaire was used to assess each respondent's socio-demographics, job stress, and the will to cease smoking. A KOSS (Korean Occupational Stress Scale)- based questionnaire survey was conducted which targeted 4,435 male workers at 69 small and medium scale industries. 2,840 men returned these questionnaires with 1,663 of them being smokers. We analyzed 1,345 of the smoker returns. We estimated the relationship between the will to cease smoking and the employee job stress factors using logistic regression analyses.
RESULTS
After adjusting for education, exercise, and tobacco use per day, the logistic regression analysis revealed a significantly positive association with the will to cease smoking and job stress. The odds ratios regarding insufficient job control were at 1.69 (95% CI, 1.26~2.27), organizational system at 1.37 (95% CI, 1.03~1.82), and lack of reward at 1.37 (95% CI, 1.03~1.82).
CONCLUSIONS
These results indicated that job stress may play a significant role in the will to cease smoking. Further preventive efforts and studies are needed in order to reduce job stress.

Abstract PDF

OBJECTIVES
We evaluated demographic, socioeconomic, smoking-related, other health behavior, and disease factors associated with smoking cessation.
METHODS
This study included 5,493 male employees in a steel manufacturing industry, who smoked at health examination underwent in 1998. Quitters were defined as those who had stopped smoking at least one month prior to re-examination in 1999. The information on related factors was collected by self-administered questionnare.
RESULTS
At 12 months of follow-up, 1,955 patients (35.6 %) had quit smoking. The quit rate was higher in middle-aged, white collar, and high rank personnels. The quit rate increased with decreasing amount of cigarette, decreasing duration of smoking, and increasing age of starting smoking. There were higher quit rates among smokers who drank less or exercise. However, the existence of disease did not affect the quit rate.
CONCLUSION
This study showed that many demographic, socioeconomic, smoking-related and other health behaviors associated with smoking cessation. These results could be of use in the other worksite smoking cessation campaigns to enhance the quit rate.
