Smoking patterns of 205 male patients were examined over a period of eight years after a primary myocardial infarction. Smoking data from their wives at one year after the heart attack were also examined. A marked, persistent reduction in smoking was found among the men. Smoking patterns of wives remained essentially unchanged. Smoking patterns before the heart attack were not related to demographic variables, except for the associated between smoker-nonsmoker status and social measures. Conceptions of susceptibility, threat, and power of prevention drawn from theoretical models on preventive health behavior were employed for analysis. High proportions of husbands and wives reported belief in smoking as important in the etiology of the heart attack, and in possibilities of prevention. Specific beliefs concerning threat, susceptibility, and prevention were not found to be related to the massive drop in smoking behavior among the men nor to stability in pattern among the wives. Alternative explanations are reviewed.
对205名男性心肌梗死患者的吸烟模式进行了为期八年的随访研究。同时，还调查了这些患者妻子在其心脏病发作一年后的吸烟情况。结果发现，男性患者的吸烟量显著且持续下降，而其妻子的吸烟模式基本保持不变。心脏病发作前的吸烟模式与人口统计学变量无关，但吸烟者与非吸烟者的状态与社会因素有关。运用预防健康行为理论模型中的易感性、威胁和预防能力概念进行分析。很大比例的丈夫和妻子认为吸烟在心脏病发作病因中起重要作用，且认为存在预防的可能性。但未发现关于威胁、易感性和预防的具体信念与男性吸烟行为的大幅下降或妻子吸烟模式的稳定性有关。本文对其他解释进行了综述。
