This report describes patterns of cigarette smoking and interest in smoking cessation programs among employees in a public worksite (n = 6,000) and a private worksite (n = 14,000). Of the 622 employees who attended an employee assistance program (EAP) orientation, 110 (18%) were current smokers. A significantly greater proportion of public employees smoked cigarettes, smoked more heavily, and evaluated their health more poorly compared to private employees. Smokers in both sites were over-represented in unskilled positions. Regardless of worksite, respondents who smoked had similar desires to quit or cut down and were annoyed by the comments of others, felt guilty about smoking, awakened with a desire to smoke, and felt they had a smoking problem. Overall, more than one third of individuals were interested in joining a smoking cessation program. Occupational health nurses may use these findings to design and implement smoking cessation interventions in their workplaces.
本报告描述了一个公共工作场所(n = 6000)和一个私人工作场所(n = 14000)员工的吸烟模式以及对戒烟项目的兴趣。在参加员工援助计划(EAP)入职培训的622名员工中,有110人(18%)为当前吸烟者。与私人企业员工相比,公共部门员工吸烟的比例显著更高、吸烟量更大,且对自身健康的评价更低。两个工作场所的吸烟者在非技术岗位上的占比都过高。无论工作场所如何,吸烟的受访者都有相似的戒烟或减少吸烟的意愿,会因他人的评论而烦恼,对吸烟感到内疚,醒来时有吸烟的欲望,并且觉得自己有吸烟问题。总体而言,超过三分之一的人有兴趣参加戒烟项目。职业健康护士可利用这些研究结果在其工作场所设计和实施戒烟干预措施。
