The mental health and dyadic adjustment of smokers is a matter of serious concern which brings many demerits on mental health as well as physical heath.
This study was performed to ascertain the relationship between mental health and dyadic adjustment of smokers and nonsmokers in Zahedan.
The sample size consisted of 100 smokers and 100 nonsmokers selected through accessible sampling method. The General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) were used to collect the data. Pearson correlation, stepwise regression, and independent "t-test" were applied to analyze the data.
Results revealed that physical symptoms, anxiety, social dysfunction, and depression sub-scales, as well as total scores of mental health negatively correlated with dyadic adjustment. Stepwise regression showed the following results: in the total sample, physical symptoms accounted for 22.7% of the variance in dyadic adjustment; also in the total sample, physical symptoms and social dysfunction together explained 24.5% of the variance in dyadic adjustment; social dysfunction accounted for 30%, anxiety for 3.7%, depression for 7% and overall mental health for 3.5% of the variance in dyadic adjustment in the smokers' sample. Results demonstrated that physical symptoms explained 15.9% of the variance in dyadic adjustment in the nonsmokers' sample. Results further revealed that the mean scores of physical symptoms and anxiety sub-scales, and the total scores of the mental health of smokers were greater than those of nonsmokers. However, no significant differences appeared between the two groups on social dysfunction and depression. Finally, the research revealed that the mean scores of dyadic adjustment were greater for nonsmokers than for smokers.
The research revealed that nonsmokers showed better mental health and dyadic adjustment than smokers, thus suggesting that smoking endangers and can impair the tranquility of families and that smoking also threatens the dyadic adjustment of couples.
吸烟者的心理健康和二元关系调适是一个令人严重关切的问题,它会给心理健康以及身体健康带来诸多不利影响。
本研究旨在确定扎赫丹吸烟者与非吸烟者的心理健康和二元关系调适之间的关系。
样本量包括通过方便抽样法选取的100名吸烟者和100名非吸烟者。使用一般健康问卷28项(GHQ - 28)和二元关系调适量表(DAS)收集数据。采用Pearson相关性分析、逐步回归分析和独立t检验进行数据分析。
结果显示,身体症状、焦虑、社会功能障碍和抑郁子量表以及心理健康总分与二元关系调适呈负相关。逐步回归分析得出以下结果:在总样本中,身体症状占二元关系调适方差的22.7%;同样在总样本中,身体症状和社会功能障碍共同解释了二元关系调适方差的24.5%;在吸烟者样本中,社会功能障碍占二元关系调适方差的30%,焦虑占3.7%,抑郁占7%,总体心理健康占3.5%。结果表明,身体症状在非吸烟者样本中解释了二元关系调适方差的15.9%。结果还进一步显示,吸烟者的身体症状和焦虑子量表的平均得分以及心理健康总分高于非吸烟者。然而,两组在社会功能障碍和抑郁方面没有显著差异。最后,研究表明非吸烟者的二元关系调适平均得分高于吸烟者。
该研究表明,非吸烟者的心理健康和二元关系调适比吸烟者更好,这表明吸烟会危及并损害家庭和睦,而且吸烟还会威胁夫妻的二元关系调适。
