Cada vez mais se buscam alternativas visando à melhora da saúde e da qualidade de vida da população, tendo em vista as diversas transformações e situações onde o mundo atual se encontra. Nesse sentido, a Agenda 2030 para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável, proposta durante a Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas no ano de 2015, trata a saúde e bem-estar como um dos objetivos a serem desenvolvidos ao nível mundial. No Brasil, através do Sistema Único de Saúde, a promoção de saúde está diretamente ligada ao desenvolvimento de ações pautadas na melhora da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos, das quais se destaca a Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares, instituída no ano de 2006. Dentro dessa política é possível identificar práticas corporais responsáveis por promover e afetar de maneira positiva inúmeros aspectos que compõem a saúde do ser humano, onde se destacam as sessões de Danças Circulares e de Biodança, que buscam por meio do movimento e da dança estabelecer vivências significativas para cada indivíduo.
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the profile of motivations for smoking among inpatients at a hospital in southern Brazil. METHODS: A survey study involving hospitalized smokers. The Modified Reasons for Smoking Scale (MRFSS) and its domains were analyzed according to gender and dependence degree. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 85 adults (mean age 53 years), low schooling/family income, and well-adjusted in terms of gender (male= 52.9%) and clinical (48%) or surgical (47%) specialty. Most were in Action as the motivational stage (68%), with elevated smoking exposure (median = 39 years/packs) and dependence degree of nicotine (56.4%). The highest domains of the MRFSS were: Smoking Pleasure (4.34 ± 1.2), Relaxation/Tension Reduction (4.24 ± 1.2) and Dependence (3.8±1.4). Significantly, women presented higher scores, in domain Relaxation/Tension Reduction (4.7±0.9). In those with elevated nicotine dependence, higher scores were observed in the Automatism/Habit and Stimulation domains. CONCLUSIONS: Smoking Pleasure and Relaxation/Tension Reduction, especially in women and Automatism, in those more dependents, are factors that should be more highlighted in future strategies for smoking cessation in inpatients.
