The smoking attitudes, knowledge, intent, and behaviors of adolescents and young adults: Implications for nursing practice

Abstract: Background /Objective: Sixty percent of all smokers in the United States (U.S.) try smoking cigarettes before they are 18 years old. Family and peer behavior (subjective norm), and attitude may influence young people to initiate smoking. The aims of this study were to 1) determine if attitude, subjective norm, and knowledge could predict smoking behaviors; 2) identify reasons for smoking; 3) determine if there were differences in attitudes toward smoking between smokers and non-smokers; and 4) determine smoker… Show more

“…We define attitudes as a person’s perceptions of alertness behavior(s) in terms of being positive/favorable or negative/unfavorable. We examined previous research by Ganley and Rosario that utilized 12 items to measure attitudes towards smoking among young adults (Ganley et al, 2013). We adapted several items used by Ganley and Rasario to fit our purposes: (i.e., The item, “ I do not like being around others who smoke ” was edited to read: I do not like being around co-workers that try to stay alert for the entire shift.).…”

“…Outside of observing actual behavior, measurement of intention is used as a best available predictor of actual behavior [e.g., intent to quit one’s job/turnover; intent to quit smoking/smoking cessation] (Griffeth et al, 2000; Rise et al, 2008). We developed 10 candidate items designed to measure EMS worker intention to perform alertness-improving and fatigue-reducing behaviors at work by adapting items used previously by Ganley and Rosario to measure smoking cessation (Ganley et al, 2013). We adapted items to fit our context and study population (i.e., “I smoke cigarettes now but intend to quit within the year” to read as “In the next six months I plan to adopt a new strategy to improve my alertness at work”).…”
