Despite its decreasing prevalence, cigarette smoking remains the second leading cause of preventable death worldwide. In Vietnam, despite recent smoking cessation efforts, the prevalence of tobacco consumption remains high, particularly among males. In this study, we aim to evaluate the self-efficacy in quitting smoking (i.e., quitting confidence), intention to quit, and identifying associated factors among both rural and urban Vietnamese male populations. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 321 patients (52.7% urban and 47.4% rural inhabitants) who utilized QUITLINE services of Bach Mai Hospital (Hanoi, Vietnam). Socio-economic status, smoking history, cigarette usage data, and intent to quit were assessed. Baseline data were correlated with quitting confidence, to identify significant associated factors. The majority (75.9%) of participants were in the planning phase of cessation, yet 90.8% lacked complete confidence in their quitting ability. Older age, fewer cigarettes per day and previous quitting attempts were associated with quitting confidence ( < 0.05) and plans to quit ( < 0.05). Older smokers and previous quitters were more confident in their ability to quit in the near future and more likely to have made plans to quit. Future smoking cessation efforts should focus on improving self-efficacy, particularly among younger and newer smokers.
尽管吸烟的流行率在下降，但它仍然是全球可预防死亡的第二大主要原因。在越南，尽管最近采取了戒烟措施，但烟草消费的流行率仍然很高，特别是在男性中。在这项研究中，我们旨在评估越南农村和城市男性吸烟人群的戒烟自我效能（即戒烟信心）、戒烟意愿，并确定相关因素。对利用越南河内巴奇迈医院 QUITLINE 服务的 321 名患者（52.7%为城市居民，47.4%为农村居民）进行了一项横断面研究。评估了社会经济地位、吸烟史、香烟使用数据和戒烟意愿。对基线数据进行了相关性分析，以确定显著的相关因素。大多数（75.9%）参与者处于戒烟的计划阶段，但 90.8%的人对自己的戒烟能力缺乏完全的信心。年龄较大、每天吸烟较少和以前的戒烟尝试与戒烟信心（<0.05）和戒烟计划（<0.05）有关。年龄较大的吸烟者和以前的戒烟者对自己在不久的将来戒烟的能力更有信心，并且更有可能制定戒烟计划。未来的戒烟工作应重点提高自我效能，特别是在年轻和新吸烟者中。
