This study aims to identify the relationship between nicotine dependence levels and cessation fatigue.
This descriptive study was conducted in a city located in the eastern part of Turkey between December 2019 and March 2020. The sample consisted of 107 students who met the research criteria. Data were collected using the sociodemographic form, the Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence test, and the cessation fatigue scale (CFS).
The CFS mean score was found to be significantly higher in women and in those who had high and very high nicotine dependence levels (p < 0.05). A positive and statistically significant relationship was found between cessation fatigue and nicotine dependence (p < 0.001). In addition, relationships were also found between cessation fatigue and variables, such as age, age of starting to smoke regularly, age of trying smoking for the first time, and the number of cigarettes smoked daily (p < 0.05).
This study detected a relationship between smoking cessation fatigue, and nicotine dependence. Studies have revealed that nursing practices on the struggle against smoking are effective. A better understanding of these processes could support nursing practices development.
本研究旨在确定尼古丁依赖水平与戒烟疲劳之间的关系。
本描述性研究于 2019 年 12 月至 2020 年 3 月在土耳其东部的一个城市进行。样本包括符合研究标准的 107 名学生。使用社会人口学表格、尼古丁依赖测试的 Fagerstrom 测试和戒烟疲劳量表（CFS）收集数据。
发现女性和尼古丁依赖水平高和非常高的人群的 CFS 平均得分显著更高（p<0.05）。戒烟疲劳与尼古丁依赖之间存在正相关且具有统计学意义（p<0.001）。此外，戒烟疲劳与年龄、开始定期吸烟的年龄、第一次尝试吸烟的年龄以及每天吸烟的数量等变量之间也存在关系（p<0.05）。
本研究检测到戒烟疲劳与尼古丁依赖之间的关系。研究表明，与吸烟作斗争的护理实践是有效的。更好地理解这些过程可以支持护理实践的发展。
