dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the relationships between patients' perceptions of susceptibility to illness, self-efficacy, anxiety, social support and subsequent changes in cigarette-smoking behavior through a prospective study involving 213 patients using a Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC). During an inpatient or outpatient visit to the VAMC, veterans received a questionnaire and were then enrolled in a smoking cessation intervention trial wherein some patients received a practitioner-initiated minimal-contact intervention and other patients received usual care. Smoking status was assessed 3 months following hospital discharge.Analyses revealed that patients most likely to have reduced their smoking, whether in the intervention or control group, were those reporting both high perceived susceptibility and high expectations of efficacy. Those least likely to have reduced their smoking were those reporting high susceptibility but low efficacy -- what has been characterized as a `learned helplessness' mode. Expectations of efficacy were inversely associated with general level of anxiety; that is, those reporting high levels of anxiety tended to report lower levels of self-efficacy. This relationship was powerfully buffered by a measure of social support. The results of this study suggest a number of potentially effective counseling strategies for practitioners who are trying to get their-patients to quit smoking. | en_US |
