“…Similarly, the perceived benefits of quitting smoking had a positive correlation with intentions of quitting among newly diagnosed cancer patients. 32 Perceived benefits have a positive association with the motivations involved in smoking cessation, regardless of sex. 33 …”

Purpose Smoking, which is one of the major risk factors for metabolic syndrome that causes cardiovascular disease or diabetes, is a crucial risk factor, which is modifiable. This study aimed to determine the factors that promote smoking behaviors according to smoking status among adults with metabolic syndrome. Patients and Methods A survey of structured self-reported questionnaires was conducted on 152 adults with metabolic syndrome. Outcome variables included cognitive motivations (self-efficacy, and perceived benefits and barriers), emotional motivation (emotional salience), and autonomous and controlled motivation based on self-determination theory. The participants were categorized by their smoking status (never smoking, quit smoking, or current smoking). Their sociodemographic and motivational factors were examined using one-way analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, and multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results Data on 152 individuals with metabolic syndrome with a mean age of 57.5 years were included. The findings indicated that the motivational factors for the never-smoking and quit-smoking groups significantly differed from those for the current-smoking group in terms of self-efficacy, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and autonomous motivation. Based on multinomial logistic regression with current smoking as the reference group, sex (being female, OR=57.69) and perceived barriers (OR=0.39) were the significant predictors for the never-smoking group, while autonomous motivation (OR=1.96) was the significant predictor for the quit-smoking group. Conclusion The motivational factors for smoking behaviors varied according to the smoking status of adults with metabolic syndrome. Autonomous motivation was the significant predictor of smoking cessation for individuals who successfully quit, whereas cognitive motivation was influential in the prevention of smoking by individuals who have never smoked. Further studies are warranted to develop smoking cessation strategies, which should focus on specific motivational factors to lead effective smoking prevention programs in this population.

“…In addition, there is evidence rural cancer survivors have lower levels of health literacy than their nonrural counterparts (McDougall et al, 2018), which might be a factor here given the high number of rural-dwelling CCS. While causal attributions and risk perceptions are not uniformly linked to motivation and health behavior change, it remains possible that greater knowledge of the impact of smoking on cervical cancer survivorship could spur motivation to quit (Alton et al, 2018; Hall et al, 2019; Hoover et al, 2019) and improvements in motivation might coincide with improvements in confidence (Dixon, 2008). Another barrier highlighted in this study is triggers.…”

Objective: Cervical cancer survivors (CCS) tend to smoke cigarettes at rates much higher than other cancer survivors and women in the general population. However, few studies take a deep dive into the smoking behavior of cervical cancer survivors and none focus on the barriers they experience related to smoking cessation. This study aimed to describe CCS’ tobacco use characteristics, quit attempts, and barriers to quit success. Method: In a concurrent mixed-method design, 50 CCS (94% White nonHispanic) who were diagnosed in the past 5 years and were current smokers at diagnosis provided data via standardized questionnaire and semi-structured interview. Results: More than three-quarters of participants were current smokers at the time of study participation, 25.6% of whom also reported noncigarette tobacco use (e.g., electronic cigarette, cigar, snus). Seventy percent of participants reported making at least one 24 hr quit attempt postdiagnosis, with 61.5% of current smokers preferring to quit without professional advice or counseling and 51.3% preferring to quit without medication assistance. Four themes emerged regarding barriers to smoking cessation: motivation and readiness; confidence and uncertainty; triggers; and social and environmental factors. Conclusions: The rate of smoking in CCS is remarkably high, which may partly be explained by negative attitudes toward and low use of evidence-based treatment as well as multi-level barriers to smoking cessation.

“…Also, readiness to quit and interest in quitting are well‐defined factors in the stages of behavior change proposed by the Transtheoretical Model 32 . In particular, those factors are strongly associated with quit attempts and the use of evidence‐based treatment among individuals with cancer 33,34 . Thus, it may be important to consider those constructs when developing tobacco cessation programs tailored for emotional management.…”

Negative affect and the utilization of tobacco treatment among adult smokers with cancer

Objective We investigated the patterns of tobacco treatment utilization among US adult smokers with cancer and the role of negative affect as potential individual‐level psychosocial barriers and facilitators influencing quit attempts and tobacco treatment utilization. Methods We analyzed data from the adult sample in Wave 1 (2013–2014) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study. Using structural equation modeling, we examined (1) the association between cancer diagnosis and negative affect (e.g., depressive mood, anxiety, and distress) and (2) the associations between negative affect and smoking cessation behaviors (i.e., quit attempts and tobacco treatment utilization). Results Compared to adults without cancer, cancer survivors were more likely to have attempted to quit tobacco use in the past 12 months (p < 0.05) and experienced increased negative affect (p < 0.01). However, negative affect appeared to be a psychological barrier to quit attempts, as it was associated with lower likelihood of attempting to quit (p < 0.05). On the other hand, among past‐12‐month quit attempters, negative affect was related to higher likelihood of using any type of tobacco treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusions Negative affect may be a potential underlying mechanism in the relationship between cancer diagnosis status and quit attempts and tobacco treatment utilization, influencing the utilization of tobacco treatment among smokers with cancer. Research is needed to investigate whether integrating emotional management in the oncology setting may effectively aid smoking cessation among patients with cancer.
