Abstract(s)
As medidas de cessação tabágica mostram resultados positivos na diminuição da morbidade e mortalidade associadas ao consumo do tabaco. Esses programas possuem maior eficácia quando se adequam às especificidades dos tabagistas. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as diferenças de sexo em uma amostra de 100 fumantes portugueses, através da administração de um questionário sócio-demográfico e clínico. Observaram-se diferenças de sexo no número de cigarros consumidos por dia, no momento do dia e no contexto social de maior consumo, no residir com fumantes, na pressão social para deixar de fumar e no sono. As implicações clínicas dos resultados foram discutidas no sentido de otimizar a prestação dos serviços de saúde em contexto de cessação tabágica.
Smoking cessation programs reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with tobacco consumption. Such programs are more effective when they are tailored to the specific characteristics of smokers. In this study we analyze sex differences within a group of 100 portuguese smokers, by administering a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire. The results show sex differences in the number of cigarettes smoked per day, in the time of day and the social contexts connected with greater consumption, in co-habitation with other smokers, in response to social pressures to quit smoking, and in incidence of sleep problems. We discuss the implications of the results for the optimization of the smoking cessation programs offered in healthcare settings.
