| Popis: | 98 In Taiwan, THPCA (Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act) was declared on July 11th, 2007, and enforced on January 11th, 2009. The actual situation regarding the smoking cessation services becomes an important issue for psychiatric nurses. The study explored the condition of psychiatric nurses’ self efficacy in providing smoking cessation services in Taiwan. Further analyses were also performed to explore the relation of their self efficacy in terms of demographic variables, attitudes toward patients smoking, the policy, and the practice of smoking cessation service. The study was designed by a cross-sectional method. Purposive sampling was used to recruit health care providers who take care of psychiatric patients in central and southern Taiwan. A total of 193 participants completed 40 questions in a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed by the methods of descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, ANOVA and multiple regressions. The results are as follow: 1. Nurses reported a moderate level of their self efficacy in providing smoking cessation service (M=55.57). 2. If clients obtain a higher motivation in quitting smoking and accept the smoking cessation service, and lower barriers in smoking cessation service offering, the self efficacy of Psychiatric nurses will increase. 3. Nurses with a higher frequency of offering smoking cessation service and agreement with the smoking free policy, and less experience of second hand smoking in workplace would obtain a higher self efficacy. 4. The barrier of smoking cessation offering, the experience of second-hand smok in workplace, whether the providers agree or disagree that smoking can allow the client to self-medicate, the assessment of clients’ motivation for quitting smoking, and the frequency of providing and talking the smoking cessation service with patient were predictive variables of self efficacy. The The results of this study allowed us to understand the patients’ motivation for quitting smoking, the frequency of smoking cessation service offering, workplace environment and self efficacy which is affecting each other. Additionally, findings from the present study could help us design the tobacco ceasing program and assist in future policy making for mental health care providers in the future. |
