Abstract

Introduction: Studies have found that parental smoking is the primary source of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure among children, leading to respiratory illnesses, especially in non-smokers like children and women. Promoting a smoke-free home (SFH) is essential, especially among rural populations, and barriers or challenges to creating a SFH need to be better understood. This study aimed to determine the knowledge levels on SHS and to identify the beliefs, perceptions, barriers and facilitators of SFH practices among the rural population in Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor, Malaysia.

Methods: This study employed a mixed-methods design, conducted in two rural settlement areas in 2022. Data were collected through surveys on SHS and SFH knowledge and face-to-face interviews using a topic guide. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS software while the qualitative data were analyzed using the thematic approach via NVivo 12.

Results: Sixty participants completed the survey. Most of the respondents had a good (38%) or moderate (48%) knowledge level of SHS. No association was found between sociodemographic factors and knowledge level. Seven of the nine interviewees knew specific SHS-related health risks. Most participants believed that implementing SFH requires quitting or reducing smoking. Barriers to establishing a SFH included personal convenience, habits, attitudes, and social influence. Family encouragement, practicability, government, and quitting smoking were the facilitators for SFH.

Conclusions: These rural communities had moderate knowledge level of SHS and SFH. Men's knowledge, beliefs and perceptions like associating SFH with quitting smoking may prevent SFH adoption. It is critical for the government and stakeholders to disseminate information and develop socially and culturally acceptable health promotion programs, incorporating the considerations from this study to increase the chances of SFH implementation in rural areas.

在马来西亚两个农村居住区实施家庭无烟做法的相关知识、信念、看法和障碍。
导言:研究发现,父母吸烟是儿童接触二手烟(SHS)的主要来源,会导致呼吸道疾病,尤其是对儿童和妇女等非吸烟者而言。推广无烟家庭(SFH)至关重要,尤其是在农村人口中。本研究旨在确定马来西亚雪兰莪州瓜拉姑布巴鲁(Kuala Kubu Bharu)农村人口对可吸入卫生与健康系统的了解程度,并确定他们在无烟家庭实践中的信念、观念、障碍和促进因素:本研究采用混合方法设计,于 2022 年在两个农村居住区进行。数据收集方式包括社会卫生保健和自立卫生保健知识调查,以及使用主题指南进行的面对面访谈。定量数据使用 SPSS 软件进行分析,定性数据则通过 NVivo 12 使用主题方法进行分析:60 名参与者完成了调查。大多数受访者对社会安全和健康服务的了解程度为良好(38%)或中等(48%)。社会人口因素与知识水平之间没有关联。9 位受访者中有 7 位知道与可吸入有害物质相关的具体健康风险。大多数受访者认为,实施可持续家庭健康需要戒烟或减少吸烟。建立SFH的障碍包括个人的方便程度、习惯、态度和社会影响。家庭鼓励、实用性、政府和戒烟是自费保健的促进因素:这些农村社区对 SHS 和 SFH 的了解程度一般。男性的知识、信仰和观念,如将自给自足与戒烟联系起来,可能会阻碍自给自足的采用。对于政府和利益相关者来说,关键是要传播信息,制定社会和文化上可接受的健康促进计划,并将本研究中的考虑因素纳入其中,以增加在农村地区实施自费保健的机会。
