Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of health education combined with lung function test on smoking cessation in smoking sanitation workers. Methods Sixty-nine sanitation workers who smoke were divided into two groups by using the table of random number, routine group (n=35) and lung function test group (n=34). The routine group was given health education. According to the lung function, those in the lung function test group were divided into normal lung function group (19 cases) and abnomal lung function group (15 cases) who received both health education and lung function test. Success rate of smoking cessation and the relapse rate were compared at 2 and 6 months follow-up. Results At 2 and 6 months follow-up, the smoking cessation rates of routine group were [10(29%), 4(11%)], which were lower than those of the normal lung function group [7(37%), 3(16%)], the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The smoking cessation rates of routine group were lower than those in abnormal lung function group[11 (73%), 10(67%)] (P<0.05). The smoking cessation rates of the normal lung function group were significantly lower than those of abnormal lung function group (P<0.05). The relapse rate of routine group[6(17%) and the normal lung function group[4(21%)]at 6 months follow-up were not significantly different. The relapse rate of the normal lung function group and that of abnormal lung function group were not significantly different. Conclusion Health education combined with lung function test could help smokers with abnormal lung function to give up smoking successfully.
