| Popis: | Aim The purpose of this secondary analysis was to identify the characteristics of smokers with type 2 diabetes, enrolled in a smoking cessation program. Background The health consequences of smoking are particularly severe for individuals with diabetes who smoke. Methods The characteristics of 227 smokers with type 2 diabetes were analyzed to determine which traits were more likely to be associated with quit success. Results Results of the data analysis indicate that smokers with type 2 diabetes were more likely to be abstinent 30days and 6months after the quit date if they attended a majority of the program classes and support groups; and used cessation medications. Expressing concerns about the expense of cigarettes was also associated with quit success at 6months. Conclusions Although studies have examined compliance with other diabetes care recommendations, few have evaluated the characteristics of individuals with diabetes who smoke. |
