The study aims to examine the effect of peer education on the decision to quit smoking, factors that encourage smoking, self-efficacy, addiction, and behavior change in students who apply to the Youth Friendly Center to quit smoking.
This research is a Randomized Controlled Trials study. The experimental group consisted of students who were enrolled in the peer education course (n=759). The control group has consisted of students (n=1095) who did not enroll in this course.
Participants in the experimental group to quit smoking, more than the control group (p>0,01). The addiction level of the participants in the experimental group, less than the participants in the control group (p>0,01). According to the scores of the participants in the control group of the participants in the experimental group, the factors that trigger smoking, and the benefit sub-dimension scores in the Decision Balance Scale were low. Loss sub-dimension scores, which show the losses from the harms of smoking, increased significantly in the Self-Efficacy Scale, Behavior Change Process Scale, and Decision Balance Scale (p>0,01).
Peer educators trained by the researcher and her team in the Youth Friendly Center Smoking Quit Program have an important effect in supporting/improving the cognitive and behavioral change processes of university students in smoking quit compared to those who do not receive an education. 94% success of the smoking quit program; Students' voluntary application to receive professional support, students' voluntary attendance of the treatment program for 6 months, strong communication and feedback, effective and functional professional counseling, and social support depend on strengthening the program with peer education. Especially with peer education, the development of leadership and role model characteristics made the smoking quit program preferred by students.
本研究旨在探讨同伴教育对申请青少年友好中心戒烟的学生戒烟决定、吸烟促发因素、自我效能感、成瘾情况及行为改变的影响。
本研究为随机对照试验研究。实验组由参加同伴教育课程的学生组成(n = 759)。对照组由未参加该课程的学生组成(n = 1095)。
实验组中戒烟的参与者多于对照组(p>0.01)。实验组参与者的成瘾程度低于对照组参与者(p>0.01)。根据实验组参与者在对照组中的得分,实验组参与者在决策平衡量表中引发吸烟的因素及益处子维度得分较低。在自我效能量表、行为改变过程量表和决策平衡量表中,显示吸烟危害所致损失的损失子维度得分显著增加(p>0.01)。
在青少年友好中心戒烟项目中,由研究人员及其团队培训的同伴教育者在支持/改善大学生戒烟的认知和行为改变过程方面,比未接受教育的人具有重要作用。戒烟项目成功率达94%;学生自愿申请获得专业支持、学生自愿参加为期6个月的治疗项目、强有力的沟通与反馈、有效且实用的专业咨询以及社会支持,均依赖于通过同伴教育加强该项目。特别是通过同伴教育,领导力和榜样特征的发展使戒烟项目受到学生青睐。
