Objectives : This study identified factors that influenced social nicotine dependence in university students using descriptive methods. Methods : Data were collected 429 university students from 2 universities in B metropolitan city. The analytical methods were the t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient and multiple regression analysis. Results : There were significant differences in social nicotine dependence according to gender (t=3.359, p=.001), smoking status (t=8.915, p=.000), religion (t=3.841, p=.022), economic status (t=3.632, p=.027) and grade (t=8.466, p=.000). Social nicotine dependence was weakly correlated with anxiety (r=.113, p<.05). Meaningful variables that explain social nicotine dependence were anxiety, self-efficacy self-esteem, female, smokers and no religion. Conclusions : It is necessary to develop a comprehensive smoke-free policy that considers social nicotine dependence to improve the cultural and social awareness of the associated health hazards of smoking, and to develop smoking cessation education and smoking prevention programs that improve the self-efficacy and self-esteem of university students.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of nicotine dependence and mental health. Methods: The subjects of this study were 153 male smokers in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s who visited Wonmi Public Health Center. They were evaluated with Fagerstorm's test for nicotine dependence (FTND) and Symptom Checklist-90-Revision (SCL-90-R). Using the FTND score, the participants were divided into three groups; mild nicotine dependent group, moderate group and severe group. Results: In the SCL-90-R score, there were statistically significant differences in the characteristics of Somatization, Obsessive-Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Global Severity Index (GSI) and Positive Symptom Test (PST) among the three groups. Comparing the values of FTND and the amounts of Daily Smoking to the values of Somatization, Obsessive-Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression and GSI in this study resulted in positive correlations, thereby demonstrating a statistical significance. Conclusions: The above results suggest that there are significant relations between nicotine dependence and the level of mental health. These results can be used for planning the smoking cessation program and mental health promoting program based on Korean traditional medicine.

Purpose: This study is to examine the effect of auricular acupressure therapy on smoking cessation for male adult in rural areas. Method: Research design was nonequivalent control pretest-posttest design. The samples were 90 male adults(Experimental: 40, Control: 40) in a community. Measures were the number of cigarette smoking per day, dependency on nicotine, and need for smoking. Auricular acupressure therapy, experimental treatment was applied for 2 weeks, 2 times/week, 3 day/time. Data were collected from June 2005 to December 2005. Data were analyzed using SPSS PC+ 12 version. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ${\chi}^2-test$, were used for each aim of this study. Results: The number of cigarette smoking per day (t= 13.230, p=.000), dependency on nicotine (t=-29.743, p=.000), and need for smoking (t=-19.799, p=.000) were significantly decreased in the experimental group by application of the auricular acupressure therapy. Conclusion: Auricular Acupressure Therapy can be a better effective primary nursing intervention on smoking cessation for male adults in rural areas through reverification by a study of repetition.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to seek an effective way to support smoking cessation by analyzing any change to the pattern of nicotine dependence according to the change in time. Methods: The study was conducted with 800 male smokers who had participated in smoking cessation programs at public health centers from July 16, 2005 to July 15, 2008. Latent growth curve modeling approach was used for data analysis. Results: From the developmental trajectory of individual nicotine dependence, while nicotine dependence of smokers with high nicotine dependence in the first year was slightly decreased in the third year, smokers with low nicotine dependence in the year showed dramatically lower nicotine dependence in the third year. Compared with those who did not successfully quit smoking, the initial value of nicotine dependence of those who successfully quit smoking in the first and the second year was low. Over the years, nicotine dependence was decreased. Conclusion: From this study it was demonstrated that nicotine dependence was reduced through the practice of smoking cessation and reduced nicotine dependence was a factor which affects successful smoking cessation. These results indicate that multiple attempts to quit smoking finally reduces nicotine dependence. Reduced nicotine dependence is likely to increase the possibility of successful smoking cessation.

Purpose: This study was conducted to find out the association between dual-use of the electronic cigarette (EC) and conventional cigarette (CC) and depression among undergraduate students. Methods: The participants of this study were 225 undergraduate students who were attending two universities located in Ulsan metropolitan city. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were conducted to analyze the data. Results: Nicotine dependence and depression were significantly higher in the dual-use group than in the single-use group. Dual-use of the EC and CC was significantly associated with depression among undergraduate students. In addition, quality of sleep was significantly associated with depression among undergraduate students. Conclusion: In order to prevent depression among undergraduate students, it is necessary to improve the awareness of the danger of dual use of the EC and CC.

Purpose: This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of a smoking cessations health camp on levels of expiratory Carbon Monoxide concentration, self-efficacy, smoking knowledge and nicotine dependence among adolescents smokers. Methods: This research uitlized a one group pre-test post-test design. The smoking cessations health camp was developed after considering cognitive and behavioral aspects and was provided for two days and one night. The number of subjects was 31 high school students. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and paired t-test. Results: As compared to a pre-test, the average score of expiratory CO concentration and nicotine dependence were significantly lower and the average score of smoking knowledge was significantly higher in a post-test. An increase in the mean score of self-efficacy was not statistically significant. Conclusion: These results suggest that this smoking cessations health camp can provide teen smokers with the insightful antismoking information and an opportunity for anti-smoking practices. Therefore, this smoking cessations health camp can be effective and useful for adolescent smokers in other school settings.

흡연은 전신건강 뿐 아니라 구강건강에도 유해하여 구강암과 치주염의 발생, 창상치유 지연, 치아상실 등과 관련성을 가지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이미 흡연과 구강건강의 관련성에 대한 연구가 많이 있지만, 구강건강에 대한 인식도나 위생관리 등 흡연 외의 다양한 요소가 구강건강에 영향을 줄 수 있으며 타액 분비나 구취처럼 흡연과의 관련성이 확실히 밝혀지지 않은 부분도 존재한다. 그러므로 구강위생에 대한 인식 수준이 상대적으로 높고 추적조사가 용이한 치과대학생이라는 집단에서 흡연자와 비흡연자의 구강건강을 상태를 장기적, 포괄적으로 비교한다면 흡연이 구강건강에 미치는 영향을 보다 명확하게 확인할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 장기적 연구에 앞서 치과대학생 중 흡연자들의 흡연 특성을 파악하고, 흡연자들과 비흡연자들의 전반적인 구강건강상태를 비교하여 보고하고자 하였다. 2010년 4월 21일부터 2011년 4월 20일까지 단국대학교 치과대학 치의학과에 재학 중인 1학년부터 4학년까지의 남학생 224명 중 지원자 192명(85.7%)을 대상으로 하여 설문지 조사와 임상검사를 시행하였다. 설문지조사에는 흡연 양태, 음주, 니코틴의존도, 구강위생관리, 간이심리검사가 포함되었고 임상검사에는 치아 및 치주 상태, 니코틴 착색, 타액분비량, 전기 미각역치, 구취에 대한 평가가 시행되었다. 본 연구에서, 흡연자군은 금연자군, 비흡연자군에 비해 연령이 약간 높고, 음주를 하는 경우가 많았으며 알코올섭취량도 많았다(p<0.05). 세 군은 타액분비율, 구취, 전기미각역치 등의 임상조사에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 양치질 횟수나 치과방문 횟수에 차이가 없음에도 불구하고 우식경험영구치율(DMFT rate), 치주가료필요 정도 및 니코틴 착색 정도에 있어서 흡연자군과 비흡연자군 사이에는 차이가 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 본 연구의 피검자들이 평균 25세로서 흡연자군이라 해도 흡연기간이 길지 않고 흡연량이나 니코틴의존도가 낮은 수준임에도 불구하고 치주조직에는 이미 유해한 효과를 주고 있다고 판단된다. 기초 자료 분석이지만 흡연은 치주조직에 신속히 영향을 미치므로 금연 치료를 조기에 시행할 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 흡연청소년의 암 예방행위와 관련요인을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 B광역시소재 W병원에서 운영하는 금연학교에 참석 중인 흡연 청소년 200명으로, 자료수집기간은 2012년 9월 1일부터 2013년 3월 31까지였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 암 예방행위 정도는 학년, 종교, 유익성, 장애성, 건강상태, 일상생활, 음주, 운동, 니코틴의존도, 흡연시작 나이, 흡연기간 및 금연의도에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 암 예방행위 정도는 암에 대한 지식(r=-.166, p<.05)과 미약한 음의 상관관계를, 태도(r=.212, p<.01)와는 미약한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었으며 통계적으로 유의하였다. 암 예방행위를 설명하는 유의한 변수는 일상생활, 장애성, 학년, 운동, 유익성, 암에 대한 지식, 금연의도의 순이었고, 전체 설명력은 30.6%였으며, 일상생활(${\beta}=25.8$)이 가장 설명력이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 흡연청소년들의 암 예방행위를 높이기 위해서는 일상생활과 학교생활에서 흡연을 대체할 수 있는 건전한 취미와 운동 등을 보급하고 암 예방행위의 유익성을 강조하고 장애성을 감소시킬 수 있는 보건교육과 학년과 금연의도 등의 학생들의 특성을 고려한 맞춤형 암 예방교육프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.
