摘要
简介:在马来西亚,每年因吸烟习惯而死亡的人数超过23000人。因此,应强调戒烟,以减少每年的死亡率和发病率。本研究的目的是了解马来西亚成年吸烟者在全面运动控制令(FMCO)期间的戒烟求助行为,并确定其影响因素。材料和方法:数据收集自马来西亚成年吸烟者的横断面调查。该问卷是通过马来西亚卫生部官方社交媒体账户在线分发的,该账户于2021年5月31日与世界无烟日同时启动。采用多元二项logistic回归分析预测因子与戒烟求助的关系模型。结果:在2545名马来西亚成年吸烟者中,2303名男性(占受访者的90.5%),平均年龄(sd)为34.82(8.11)岁(18至77岁)。略一半的人(n=1353, 53%)报告寻求戒烟帮助,而(n=1468, 57.7%)报告不知道戒烟热线服务。因素,如戒烟尝试(OR);1.844, 95% CI = 1.384-2.458), Covid-19大流行情况(OR;1.841, 95% CI= 1.553-2.183),已婚(OR: 1.279, 95% CI= 1.04-1.57),不知道戒烟热线服务(OR;0.660, 95% CI = 0.557-0.781),非酒精饮用者(OR;0.658, 95% CI = 0.473-0.916)显著预测寻求戒烟帮助的行为。结论:本研究的结果对马来西亚的公共卫生工作提供了潜在的支持,进一步加强健康促进和教育计划,并进一步加强对戒烟问题的政策。
Covid-19 Pandemic: Help-seeking for Smoking Cessation among Adult Smokers in Malaysia during the Full Movement Control Order (FMCO)
INTRODUCTION: In Malaysia, the annual death due to smoking habits recorded as more than 23 thousand yearly. Hence smoking cessation should be emphasized to reduce the annual mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this study is to identify the help-seeking behavior in smoking cessation among adult smokers and to determine its influencing factors during the Full Movement Control Order (FMCO) in Malaysia. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Data were collected from cross-sectional surveys of Malaysian adult smokers. The questionnaire was distributed online through the official social media account of the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOHM) which commenced from 31st May 2021 in conjunction with the World No Tobacco Day. A multivariate binomial logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship model between the predictors with the help-seeking for smoking cessation. RESULT: Out of 2,545 Malaysian adult smokers who have responded, 2,303 were males (90.5% of respondents) with mean age(sd) of 34.82(8.11) years (18 to 77 years). Slightly half (n=1353, 53%) have reported seeking help for smoking cessation and (n=1468, 57.7%) reported being unaware of the quitline services. Factors, such as quit smoking attempt (OR; 1.844, 95% CI = 1.384-2.458), Covid-19 pandemic situation (OR; 1.841, 95% CI= 1.553-2.183), being married (OR: 1.279, 95% CI = 1.04-1.57), unaware about quitline services (OR; 0.660, 95% CI = 0.557-0.781), non-alcohol drinkers (OR; 0.658, 95% CI = 0.473-0.916) significantly predicted the behaviour of help-seeking for smoking cessation. CONCLUSION: The results of this study would potentially support public health efforts in Malaysia in further enhancing health promotion and education programs as well as further strengthen the policy towards quit smoking issues.
