Tobacco use among cancer patients is associated with adverse health outcomes. Little attention has been paid to tobacco use among cancer patients in developing countries, including Russia, where tobacco use is extremely high, and there is little public health infrastructure to address this issue.
This study examined medical, socio-demographic, and psychological correlates of smoking status and intention to quit smoking among newly diagnosed Russian cancer patients.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 294 current or former smokers newly diagnosed with cancer.
Compared with patients who quit smoking, patients who continued to smoke were more likely to report urges to smoke to satisfy positive reinforcing aspects of tobacco use. Compared with patients who were smoking and reported no intention to quit smoking in the next 3 months, patients who were smoking but intended to quit smoking reported higher levels of perceived risks associated with continued smoking and higher levels of self-efficacy to quit smoking.
As commitment to developing smoking cessation treatment programs for cancer patients in Russia emerges, these data can help guide the development of behavioral interventions to assist patients with quitting smoking, enhancing their chances for improved clinical outcomes.
癌症患者的吸烟行为与不良健康结局相关。在包括俄罗斯在内的发展中国家，针对癌症患者吸烟问题的关注较少，而这些国家的吸烟率极高，且几乎没有公共卫生基础设施来解决这一问题。
本研究旨在探讨新诊断的俄罗斯癌症患者的吸烟状况和戒烟意愿的医学、社会人口统计学和心理相关因素。
对 294 名新诊断为癌症的现吸烟者或曾吸烟者进行了横断面研究。
与戒烟的患者相比，继续吸烟的患者更有可能报告吸烟冲动，以满足烟草使用的积极强化方面。与正在吸烟且报告在未来 3 个月内无戒烟意愿的患者相比，正在吸烟但打算在未来 3 个月内戒烟的患者报告了更高水平的与继续吸烟相关的感知风险，以及更高水平的戒烟自我效能。
随着俄罗斯制定癌症患者戒烟治疗计划的承诺的出现，这些数据可以帮助指导制定行为干预措施，以帮助患者戒烟，提高他们改善临床结局的机会。
