The purpose of this study was to analyze predictive factors affecting for behavior of smoking cessation on the basis of the Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB) in adult men smoker, and to provide basic guideline for the development of adult smoking cessation education program of nursing intervention.
The subjects of this study were 138 adult men in 20~59 age participating in project of smoking cessation in the public health center in Seoul. The data of this study were collected from August 1st to November 15th 2005. The collective data of this study were analyzed with using descriptive statistics and Pearson''s correlation coefficient, t-test, Multiple regression method, Logistic regression method by SPSS program(version 10.0).
The results of this study can be summarized as follows:
1. Attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control correlated significantly with belief variables. And intention of smoking cessation correlated significantly with attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control.
And Behavior of smoking cessation correlated significantly with subjective norm and perceived behavioral control, intention of smoking cessation, but not correlated significantly with attitude toward the behavior.
2. Attitude toward the behavior and perceived behavioral control of predictive variable of intention of smoking cessation effected significantly intention of smoking cessation, but subjective norm didn''t effect significantly it.
Predictive variable of intention of smoking cessation, attitude toward the behavior and subjective norm, perceived behavioral control explained 38.9% intension of smoking cessation(F=28.428, p=0.000).
So the more positive attitude toward the behavior and the stronger perceived behavioral control are, the more intention of smoking cessation will increase.
3. Intention of smoking cessation of predictive variable of behavior of smoking cessation effected significantly behavior of smoking cessation, but perceived behavioral control didn''t effect significantly.
So the stronger intention of smoking cessation is, the more behavior of smoking cessation rate will increase.
According to the results, predictive variable of intention and behavior of smoking cessation can be used as basic materials of development of adult smoking cessation education program of nursing intervention which was more systemic and practical.
