尼古丁替代治疗用于减少吸烟和暂时戒断:访谈研究
2012/01/31
摘要
前言:尼古丁替代治疗(NRT)常用于辅助减少吸烟(SR)或强化暂时性戒断(TA)。全国性调查显示,普通的吸烟者,NRT用于上述两种目的,对吸烟量的影响较小,而且尼古丁贴剂使用较为常见。本试验旨在更好了解导致上述现象的原因。
方法:对36名主诉将NRT用于SR和/或TA的吸烟者进行半结构化电话随访。通过开放式问题了解吸烟者对NRT用于SR和/或TA的了解、意见和经验。采用改良后的框架分析,研究访谈结果。
结果:吸烟者主诉采用许多方式来降低吸烟量,包括增加每次吸烟之间的间隔时间、尝试白天不吸烟或社会场合下不吸烟等。吸烟者也知道怎样调节,吸更少的烟、或甚至不吸入、或吸部分烟。尼古丁贴剂的使用比较流行,因为不会引起别人注意、容易使用、药效持续时间长、使用时间长。吸烟者对NRT使用的一些规则限制了解较少。
结论:吸烟者采用很多方式来减少吸烟,但不是戒断,这其中也包括那些并未减少吸烟量的吸烟者。尼古丁贴剂使用方便,有助于减少吸烟量,但吸烟者对该方法的使用限制了解较少。

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is commonly used to aid smoking reduction (SR) or in situations of enforced temporary abstinence (TA). National Surveys have suggested that in the general population of smokers, the use of NRT in these ways has little effect on cigarette consumption and that use of the nicotine patch is common. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of what might underlie this.
METHODS: Semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with 36 smokers who reported that they were using NRT for SR and/or TA. Open-ended questions explored smokers’ knowledge, beliefs, and experience of using NRT for SR and/or TA. Interviews were analyzed using a variant of framework analysis.
RESULTS: Smokers reported using a variety of methods to reduce their cigarette consumption, including increasing the interval between cigarettes and attempting nondaily or social smoking. Smokers also modified how they smoked their cigarettes by trying to inhale less, not inhaling at all, or only smoking part of the cigarette. Nicotine patches appeared to be popular because they were discreet, easy to use, provided a prolonged effect, and had an established history. Smokers had little knowledge of the regulatory restrictions on the use of NRT.
CONCLUSIONS: Smokers used a wide variety of means of reducing smoke exposure without stopping completely, including ones that did not involve reducing consumption. Nicotine patches were considered convenient to help with this, and there appeared to be little awareness of regulatory restrictions on their use.
