Özet
This study aimed to examine the relationship between smoking cessation success prediction and the factors influencing smoking cessation among healthcare professionals who smoke. In this context; sociodemographic and environmental factors, smoking habits, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, and resilience variables were examined. A total of 149 healthcare professionals participated in the study. Participants completed the Participant Information Form, Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale. Data analysis included t-tests, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression. In the final model obtained from the multiple linear regression analysis, 39.5% of the variance in smoking cessation success prediction was accounted for. Education level (β = .09, p > .05), occupation (β= .04, p >.05), and smoking duration (β = -.02, p > .05) did not significantly contribute to the final model. High perceieved social support (β = .27, p < .001), smoking initiation age (β = .16, p < .05), contemplation/preparation stage of smoking cessation (β = .27, p < .001), resilience (β = .19, p < .05) positively predicted smoking cessation success prediction. Conversely, an increase in nicotine dependence (β = -.27, p < .001) negatively predicted smoking cessation success prediction. In conclusion, a comprehensive evaluation of sociodemographic and environmental factors, individual smoking patterns, and psychological processes is essential for understanding smoking cessation among primary care health professionals.
