Outdoor smoke-free policies (SFPs) at sports clubs may contribute to the prevention of smoking among adolescents. Adolescents' support for such policy is important to its success. The aim of this study is to explore adolescents' perceptions with regard to an outdoor SFP at sports clubs in the Netherlands.
Focus group discussions (n=27) were held with 180 participants (aged 13-18 years) at 16 sports clubs. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.
Participants generally supported an outdoor SFP at sports clubs. Five reasons for this support were reported: 1) children should not be exposed to smoking, 2) smoking and sports (clubs) do not fit together, 3) secondhand smoke is undesirable, 4) an outdoor SFP may enhance a sports club's image, and 5) an outdoor SFP contributes to the prevention of smoking. Some participants voiced considerations against an outdoor SFP, arguing amongst others, that smokers need to be taken into account, and that problems may occur with compliance and enforcement. Support for an outdoor SFP was stronger among participants at clubs with an outdoor SFP than among those without such policy.
This study shows that adolescents generally support an outdoor smoke-free policy at sports clubs. After implementation, the outdoor SFP was generally experienced as a normal practice. These results could encourage sports clubs without an outdoor SFP to become smoke-free as well.
体育俱乐部的户外无烟政策(SFPs)可能有助于预防青少年吸烟。青少年对该政策的支持对其成功实施至关重要。本研究的目的是探讨荷兰青少年对体育俱乐部户外无烟政策的看法。
在16个体育俱乐部与180名参与者(年龄在13 - 18岁之间)进行了焦点小组讨论(n = 27)。采用主题分析法对数据进行分析。
参与者普遍支持体育俱乐部的户外无烟政策。报告了支持该政策的五个原因:1)儿童不应接触吸烟;2)吸烟与运动(俱乐部)不相容;3)二手烟有害;4)户外无烟政策可能提升体育俱乐部的形象;5)户外无烟政策有助于预防吸烟。一些参与者表达了对户外无烟政策的顾虑,其中包括认为需要考虑吸烟者,以及在合规和执行方面可能会出现问题。有户外无烟政策的俱乐部的参与者对户外无烟政策的支持比没有该政策的俱乐部的参与者更强。
本研究表明,青少年普遍支持体育俱乐部的户外无烟政策。实施后,户外无烟政策通常被视为一种常态。这些结果可能会鼓励没有户外无烟政策的体育俱乐部也实现无烟化。
