To examine the influence of a tobacco-free hospital campus (TFHC) policy on employee smoking behavior.
Questionnaires immediately prior to, 6 months after, and 1 year after implementation of a TFHC policy.
University-affiliated hospital system.
A cohort of smokers and recent quitters.
Smoking status, quit attempts, influence of TFHC policy.
Descriptive.
From 2024 employees who responded to an initial online survey prior to implementation of a TFHC policy, 307 respondents reported either current smoking or quitting smoking within the past 6 months. Of these, 210 (68%) agreed to follow-up surveys at 6 and 12 months post-policy implementation. At each of the three times, between 15% and 18.5% of the cohort reported not smoking, with at least 48% of those not smoking reporting 6 to 12 months continuous abstinence. Sixty percent or more of those who reported quit attempts or not smoking indicated that the TFHC policy was influential in their efforts.
A TFHC policy may lead to increased employee smoking quit attempts and successful cessation. Health care facilities should broaden smoking restrictions to include the entire workplace campus, not only to reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, but also to increase tobacco cessation.
研究无烟医院校园（TFHC）政策对员工吸烟行为的影响。
在实施 TFHC 政策之前、之后 6 个月和 1 年进行问卷调查。
大学附属医院系统。
吸烟者和近期戒烟者队列。
吸烟状况、戒烟尝试、TFHC 政策的影响。
描述性。
在实施 TFHC 政策之前，对 2024 名在线调查的员工进行了初始调查，其中 307 名受访者报告目前吸烟或在过去 6 个月内戒烟。其中，210 名（68%）同意在政策实施后 6 个月和 12 个月进行随访调查。在这三个时间点，队列中有 15%至 18.5%的人报告不吸烟，至少 48%不吸烟者报告有 6 至 12 个月的持续戒烟。60%或更多报告尝试戒烟或不吸烟的人表示，TFHC 政策对他们的努力有影响。
TFHC 政策可能会促使更多员工尝试戒烟并成功戒烟。医疗机构应扩大禁烟范围，包括整个工作场所校园，不仅要减少环境烟草烟雾的暴露，还要促进烟草戒断。
