Smoking behavior among couples is often similar.
The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the partner's smoking status and the intention to stop smoking of the index person.
Cross-sectional data of 1,044 patients in a random sample of 34 general medical practices in northeastern Germany were analyzed.
Among smokers with a non-smoking partner (SNP), more intended to quit smoking in the next six months (37.0% vs. 31.4%), compared to smokers with a smoking partner (SSP). Also, more SNP intended to quit in the next four weeks (4.7% vs. 2.7%) compared to SSP. SNP were more active in the use of self-change strategies than SSP.
The data confirm that the partner's smoking status is related to the intention to quit smoking. Interventions should address the different needs of both smokers with a smoking partner and those with a non-smoking partner.
夫妻间的吸烟行为往往相似。
本研究旨在探讨伴侣的吸烟状况与指标对象戒烟意愿之间的关系。
对德国东北部34家普通医疗诊所随机抽取的1044名患者的横断面数据进行分析。
与有吸烟伴侣的吸烟者（SSP）相比，有不吸烟伴侣的吸烟者（SNP）中，更多人打算在未来六个月内戒烟（37.0%对31.4%）。此外，与SSP相比，更多SNP打算在未来四周内戒烟（4.7%对2.7%）。SNP在使用自我改变策略方面比SSP更积极。
数据证实伴侣的吸烟状况与戒烟意愿有关。干预措施应针对有吸烟伴侣的吸烟者和有不吸烟伴侣的吸烟者的不同需求。
