This study aimed to identify the nature and meaning of continued smoking in male stroke patients based on a deep understanding of their lived experiences.
Phenomenological qualitative methodology.
In total, 10 male stroke patients participated in this study. We used purposive sampling for recruitment. Data collection was performed through in-depth interviews and analysis through van Manen's methodology.
Five essential themes were derived from the analyses and described participants' experiences with continued smoking, as follows: "Natural relapse into smoking," "Behaving like a healthy person," "Believing that smoking will not be a problem," "Finding consolation in smoking behaviour," and "Consoling oneself by the rationalization of smoking behaviour."
The results showcased the need for the development of a smoking cessation educational programme tailored for male stroke patients who have perceptions towards being "like healthy people" after early recovery and who think that smoking is not a problematic behaviour. Participants' reports underpinned the necessity for these programmes to have contents focused on the transformation of patients' awareness toward their own health status.
本研究旨在通过深入了解男性中风患者的生活经历，确定他们持续吸烟的性质和意义。
现象学定性方法。
共有 10 名男性中风患者参与了这项研究。我们采用目的性抽样招募参与者。通过深入访谈收集数据，并通过范梅南的方法进行分析。
从分析中得出了五个基本主题，描述了参与者持续吸烟的体验，如下所示：“自然复吸”、“表现得像个健康人”、“相信吸烟不会有问题”、“从吸烟行为中找到安慰”和“通过合理化吸烟行为来安慰自己”。
研究结果表明，需要为那些在早期康复后对自己“像健康人一样”的看法，以及认为吸烟不是一种有问题行为的男性中风患者，制定有针对性的戒烟教育计划。参与者的报告支持了这些计划的内容应该侧重于改变患者对自己健康状况的认识。
