Purpose:
To analyze the determinants of tobacco smoking addiction in rural areas.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on February 2020. The self-administered questionnaire (α = 0.908) and Perceived Stress Scale-10 were used as tobacco smoking determinants and the WHO ASSIST questionnaire V3.0 to determine its addiction risk. Their correlations were analyzed by Spearman's rank-order approach using the SPSS version 23.0.
Results:
Among 75 male respondents that participated in this study, those on low, moderate, and high addiction risk were 45 (60.00%), 23 (30.67%), and 7 (9.33%), respectively, and significantly correlated with the research questionnaire that consisted three parts: 1. awareness toward the health risk; 2. social control; 3. mass media role in tobacco smoking (p=0.014, 0.004, and 0.009 respectively), but there was no significant correlation with the stress level (p=0.287).
Conclusion:
Increased awareness toward the health risk, good social control, and mass media reporting the danger of tobacco smoking is significantly in correlation with the decreased addiction in rural areas. However, the high perceived stress has no correlation with its increase.
