The study was conducted (a) to assess use of any smoking cessation medications, (b) to identify factors associated with smoking, and (c) to assess knowledge of the health effects of smoking and attitudes toward smoking and seeking help for quitting among Vietnamese Americans. This is a descriptive study conducted with a nonrepresentative sample of 163 Vietnamese Americans. Current and former smokers constituted 24.4% and 25.6% of men and 1.2% and 3.5% of women, respectively. Of 20 current smokers, 17 (85%) reported use of cessation medications in their past quit attempts. Acculturation was the only significant correlate of ever smoking (vs. never smoking) in multivariate logistic regression analyses. Men who were less acculturated had more than 5 times the odds of being ever smokers (odds ratio = 5.33, 95% confidence interval = 1.37-20.78) compared with more acculturated men. Most participants had correct knowledge of the health effects of smoking regardless of age, education level, and smoking status. Attitudes toward smoking differed by age and education level but not by smoking status. Nurses working with Vietnamese Americans should be aware of the high rate of smoking among male immigrants and provide smoking cessation interventions.
(a) 评估使用任何戒烟药物的情况；(b) 确定与吸烟相关的因素；(c) 评估越南裔美国人对吸烟的健康影响、对吸烟的态度以及寻求戒烟帮助的认知。这是一项针对 163 名越南裔美国人的非代表性样本进行的描述性研究。当前吸烟者和曾经吸烟者分别占男性的 24.4%和 25.6%，占女性的 1.2%和 3.5%。在 20 名当前吸烟者中，17 人（85%）报告在过去的戒烟尝试中使用过戒烟药物。在多变量逻辑回归分析中，文化适应是唯一与曾经吸烟（而非从不吸烟）显著相关的因素。与文化适应程度较高的男性相比，文化适应程度较低的男性曾经吸烟的可能性高出 5 倍以上（比值比=5.33，95%置信区间=1.37-20.78）。大多数参与者无论年龄、教育程度和吸烟状况如何，都对吸烟的健康影响有正确的认识。对吸烟的态度因年龄和教育程度而异，但与吸烟状况无关。与越南裔美国人合作的护士应意识到男性移民吸烟率较高，并提供戒烟干预措施。
