“…A mechanism known as sister circles (Baldwin, 1996, p. 28) is often enhanced in organized group sessions with homogeneous African American women, with common bonds facilitating communication of vital information, psychosocial and spiritual support, and mentoring. Although spirituality, in particular, has been identified as a source of strength for African American women living in public housing and, therefore, a resource for women who are attempting to quit smoking (Andrews, Bunting et al, 2004;Manfredi et al, 1997;Nollen, Catley, Davies, Hall, & Ahluwalia, 2005), no studies have as yet shown the relationship of spirituality to smoking cessation.…”

“…Supportive social networks may have a positive influence on health-promoting behaviors, such as quitting smoking, as well as on cognitive states, such as self efficacy (Berkman & Glass, 2000;Musgrave, Allen, & Allen, 2002;Nollen et al, 2005). Both social support and self efficacy have been associated with successful smoking abstinence outcomes in African American women who smoke (Boardman, Catley, Mayo, & Ahluwalia, 2005;Nollen et al;O'Hea et al, 2004).…”

The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a multicomponent smoking cessation intervention in African American women residing in public housing. The intervention consisted of: (a) nurse led behavioral/empowerment counseling; (b) nicotine replacement therapy; and, (c) community health workers to enhance smoking self-efficacy, social support, and spiritual well-being. The results showed a 6-month continuous smoking abstinence of 27.5% and 5.7% in the intervention and comparison groups. Changes in social support and smoking self-efficacy over time predicted smoking abstinence, and self-efficacy mediated 6-month smoking abstinence outcomes. Spiritual well-being did not predict or mediate smoking abstinence outcomes. These findings support the use of a nurse/community health worker model to deliver culturally tailored behavioral interventions with marginalized communities. ß

“…Many studies have examined the effect of received social support towards health behaviours. According to research by Nollena et al (2005), social support, defined as the support or the influence felt from family and friends, has been shown to be associated with regulated body weight, fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity, diet, and cessation of smoking behaviour. In this study, it was proven that the group of participants who provided social support in emotional, tangible, and informational form had the highest average score in health behaviours compared to those who did not provide social support to their mothers.…”

“…Este apoio do parceiro refere-se ao tipo de apoio que os esposos, ou cônjuges, proporcionam ao fumante para deixar de fumar e tem-se revelado importante no sucesso das intervenções para a desabituação tabágica (Shoham, Rohrbaugh, Trost, & Muramoto, 2006). Um estudo realizado por Thomas et al (2009) (Lawhon, Humfl eet, Hall, Reus, & Muñoz, 2009;Nollen et al, 2005), pode infl uenciar o fumante a deixar de fumar e a manter-se abstinente (Homish & Kenneth, 2005;Rüge et al, 2008), e é considerado preditivo do sucesso da desabituação tabágica. Este suporte do parceiro pode ser positivo (parceiro elogiar e apoiar de forma positiva o fumante) ou negativo (quando o parceiro tem uma atitude de vigilância constante e insistência para que o fumador pare de fumar; Cohen & Lichtenstein, 1990;Copotelli & Orleans, 1985;Mermelstein, Lichtenstein, & McIntyre, 1983;Roski, Schmid & Landom, 1996).…”

“…Desta forma, e de acordo com os resultados encontrados, o apoio do parceiro é um fator importante junto dos fumantes com intenção para deixar de fumar, revelando-se como um dos melhores preditores para a abstinência tabágica (Lawhon et al, 2009;Nollen et al, 2005).…”

ResumoEste estudo avaliou as representações associadas ao tabaco como variável mediadora na relação entre o ajustamento de casal e o suporte do parceiro em fumantes e ex-fumantes, bem como o papel do suporte do parceiro como mediador na relação entre as representações do tabaco e variáveis sócio-cognitivas para deixar de fumar. Participaram no estudo 224 fumantes e 169 ex-fumantes. Os fumantes fumavam há, pelo menos, 3 anos e os ex-fumantes tinham deixado de fumar há mais de 3 meses. Os resultados mostraram, nos fumantes, que o suporte do parceiro apresentou um efeito mediador parcial na relação entre as representações do tabaco e as variáveis sócio-cognitivas (atitudes, controle comportamental percebido e planejamento do coping/ação). As representações emocionais do tabaco não tiveram um papel mediador na relação entre o ajustamento de casal e o suporte do parceiro, em fumantes e ex-fumantes. Os resultados apontam para a importância do suporte do parceiro na intervenção junto de fumantes com intenção para deixar de fumar.

Mediator Role of Tobacco Representations and Partner Support in Smokers and Abstinents AbstractThis study evaluated the representations associated with tobacco as a mediator between couple´s adjustment and partner support in smokers and abstinents, as well as the role of the partner's support as a mediator in the relationship between the representations associated with tobacco and sociocognitive variables to quit smoking. 224 smokers and 169 abstinent participated in the study. Smokers smoked at least for 3 years and abstinents were smoke free for more than 3 months. Results revealed that partner support had a mediator effect on the relationship between the representations associated with tobacco and sociocognitive variables (attitudes, perceived behavioral control and planning of coping/action). The emotional representations of tobacco were not a mediator role in the relationship between the couple adjustment and partner support on smokers and abstinents. Results indicated the importance of including partner support during smoking cessation interventions among smokers with intention to quit smoking.
