BACKGROUND. According to the Global Adult Tobacco Survey completed in 2010 in Ukraine, 28,8% (about 11,5 million) of adults aged 15 years and older are current smokers. Among women, prevalence of current smoking is 11,2%, which is considerably less than among men (50%). The goal of the study was to reveal the determinants of quitting smoking among women. METHODS. The sample included 571 women, who were current or former daily smokers. Firstly, the bivariate analysis (cross-tabulation and chi-square test) was conducted. Then, the significant determinants from bivariate analysis were included to binary logistic regression. The womens smoking status (current daily smokers vs. former daily smokers) was considered an outcome measure. Independent variables included education, age, occupation, income, religion, marital status, variation in prices for tobacco products, awareness of the negative consequences of smoking, permission to smoke at home, and whether the woman received an advice to quit smoking from a health worker. RESULTS. Bivariate analysis showed that there was statistically significant relationships with age, marital status, occupation, permission to smoke at home, having received information about the dangers of smoking from the radio, newspapers, and other sources. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that the unemployed women and women from households where smoking was banned were more likely to quit smoking. Unmarried women were less likely to quit smoking than married. CONCLUSIONS. Quitting smoking among women was associated with being married, unemployed, and living in a home where smoking is banned. Major limitations of the study are the small sample size and cross-sectional nature of the study; hence, the inerrant conclusions about cause-effect relationships are not possible. So, longitudinal study with larger sample could be a better future option.

Possible causes of quitting smoking among women in Ukraine

Ksenia Bondarenko, Tatiana Andreeva

BACKGROUND. According to the Global Adult Tobacco Survey completed in 2010 in Ukraine, 28,8% (about 11,5 million) of adults aged 15 years and older are current smokers. Among women, prevalence of current smoking is 11,2%, which is considerably less than among men (50%). The goal of the study was to reveal the determinants of quitting smoking among women.

METHODS. The sample included 571 women, who were current or former daily smokers. Firstly, the bivariate analysis (cross-tabulation and chi-square test) was conducted. Then, the significant determinants from bivariate analysis were included to binary logistic regression. The women’s smoking status (cur-

rent daily smokers vs. former daily smokers) was considered an outcome measure. Independent variables included education, age, occupation, income, religion, marital status, variation in prices for tobacco products, awareness of the negative consequences of smoking, permission to smoke at home, and whether the woman received an advice to quit smoking from a health worker.

RESULTS. Bivariate analysis showed that there was statistically significant relationships with age, marital status, occupation, permission to smoke at home, having received information about the dangers of smoking from the radio, newspapers, and other sources. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that the

unemployed women and women from households where smoking was banned were more likely to quit smoking. Unmarried women were less likely to quit smoking than married.

CONCLUSIONS. Quitting smoking among women was associated with being married, unemployed, and living in a home where smoking is banned. Major limitations of the study are the small sample size and cross-sectional nature of the study; hence, the inerrant conclusions about cause-effect relationships are not possible. So, longitudinal study with larger sample could be a better future option.

Можливі причини припинення куріння серед жінок в Україні

Бондаренко Ксенія Вадимівна, Андрєєва Тетяна Іллівна

АКТУАЛЬНІСТЬ. Відповідно до «Глобального опитування дорослого населення щодо вживання тютюну», завершеного в 2010 році, в Україні частка дорослих курців віком від 15 років і старше становить 28,8% (приблизно 11,5 мільйонів). Серед жінок частка курців становить 11,2%, що значно менше, ніж частка курців серед чоловіків (50%). Мета дослідження полягає в пошуку детермінант, пов’язаних з припиненням куріння серед жінок.

МЕТОДИ. Вибірка становить 571 жінку, які були або є щоденними курцями. Для пошуку зв’язків було використано двовимірний аналіз (тест хі-квадрат), і багатовимірний аналіз (методом бінарної логістичної регре-

сії), до якого були внесені детермінанти, що були значущими у двовимірному аналізі. Як залежну змінну розглядали статус жінки щодо куріння (теперішні чи колишні щоденні курці). Як незалежні змінні було взято освіту, вік, рід занять, дохід, належність до релігійних конфесій, сімейний стан, варіацію цін на тютюнові вироби, отримання інформації щодо негативних наслідків куріння, дозвіл на куріння вдома та отримання поради лікаря щодо припинення куріння.

РЕЗУЛЬТАТИ. Двовимірний аналіз показав статистично значущі зв’язки з віком, сімейним станом, сферою діяльності, дозволом на куріння вдома, отриманою інформацією про небезпеку куріння з радіо, газет та з інших

джерел. У багатовимірному аналізі було виявлено, що більше схильні до припинення куріння жінки, які не працюють, і жінки, вдома у яких ніколи не дозволено курити. Менше схильними до припинення куріння були незаміжні жінки порівняно з заміжніми.

ВИСНОВКИ. Жінки з більшою ймовірністю кидають курити, якщо вони є заміжніми, в них вдома заборонено курити, і вони не працюють. Крос-сек-ційне дослідження та маленька вибірка не дає можливості робити висновки про причинно-наслідкові зв’язки, тому є бажаним проведення додаткового лонгітюдного дослідження із більшою вибіркою.
