Persistent smoking following stroke is associated with poor outcomes including development of secondary stroke and increased mortality risk. This study uses longitudinal data from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (1992-2008) to investigate whether depression and duration of inpatient hospital care impact smoking outcomes among stroke survivors (N = 745). Longer duration of care was associated with lower likelihood of persistent smoking. Depression was associated with greater cigarette consumption. Interaction effects were also significant, indicating that for survivors who experienced longer inpatient care there was a weaker association between depression and cigarette consumption. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
中风后持续吸烟与不良后果相关,包括二次中风和死亡风险增加。本研究使用来自美国健康与退休研究(1992-2008 年)的纵向数据,调查抑郁和住院时间长短是否影响中风幸存者的吸烟结果(N=745)。住院时间长短与持续吸烟的可能性呈负相关。抑郁与吸烟量增加有关。交互效应也具有统计学意义,表明对于经历较长住院治疗的幸存者,抑郁与吸烟量之间的关联较弱。讨论了对实践和研究的意义。
