ABSTRACT
Objective To clarify the status of tobacco exposure and identify risk factors of smoking among smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Shenzhen,in order to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of tuberculosis-tobacco control strategy in Shenzhen.Methods From January to December 2016,a special survey was carried out in 8 districts in Shenzhen.A unified questionnaire was used to make face to face interviews for 958 smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients registered in 2016.Descriptive statistics was conducted to analyze the status of tobacco exposure.Single factor analysis and multiple logistic regression were used to identify the important risk factors of smoking.Results Among smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Shenzhen,the rates of general smoking,current smoking,regular smoking were 40.9%,34.2% and 30%,respectively.All smoking rates were higher among male than female participants (x2=255.226,197.463 and 162.707,respectively,and the P values were all<0.001);164cases of heavy smokers accounted for 50.0% of current smokers.Among 392 smokers,64 had quitted smoking,and the rate of smoking cessation was 16.3%.Among 566 nonsmokers,the rate of passive smoking from cohabiting smokers was 17.8% (101/566),and it was higher in female than male participants (23.1% vs.12.3%,x2=11.219,P=0.001).In single factor analysis,gender,work or living environment,age,education level,marital status,and body mass index were closely related to smoking (x2=255.226,28.375,40.922,29.585,9.117,and 7.052,respectively,and the P values were all<0.05).In multiple logistic regression,the major risk factors for smoking included in the model were gender (x2=120.797,P<0.001),age (x2=5.728,P=0.017),education level (x2=17.159,P<0.001),mode of case-finding (x2=3.670,P=0.055),work or living environment (x2=6.039,P=0.049),and marital status (x2=5.091,P=0.078).Conclusion The smoking status of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients was serious in Shenzhen.Tuberculosis patients were the key smokers.We should provide accurate intervention and health guidance for patients,such as,macro policy guidance,instillation of knowledge,mental health intervention,and smoke-free environment.
