Abstract

In developing worksite smoking cessation programs in Costa Rica, it is necessary to gain an understanding of smokers and ex-smokers. For smokers, it was necessary to know the barriers to quitting and what they thought may help them. For ex-smokers, we wanted to identify the main factors that helped them to successfully quit. Two separate focus groups were conducted of smokers (n = 6) and ex-smokers (n = 9) who worked at the Department of Justice. Results indicated that the key factors for both ex-smokers and smokers were social factors-family and coworkers. Participants viewed family support as fundamental to successful quitting. Smokers mentioned that the Justice Department could help them stop smoking by eliciting the support of ex-smoking coworkers. Major barriers to quitting were workplace stress and the presence of other smokers. In conclusion, family members and ex-smoking coworkers can play an important role in worksite smoking cessation programs in Costa Rica.

在哥斯达黎加促进戒烟:吸烟者和戒烟者的焦点小组研究。
在哥斯达黎加制定工作场所戒烟计划时,有必要了解吸烟者和戒烟者。对于吸烟者来说,有必要了解戒烟的障碍,以及他们认为什么可能对他们有帮助。对于戒烟者,我们想找出帮助他们成功戒烟的主要因素。两个独立的焦点小组分别是在司法部工作的吸烟者(n = 6)和戒烟者(n = 9)。结果表明,影响戒烟者和戒烟者的主要因素是社会因素——家庭和同事。参与者认为家庭支持是成功戒烟的基础。吸烟者提到,司法部可以通过获得戒烟同事的支持来帮助他们戒烟。戒烟的主要障碍是工作压力和其他吸烟者的存在。总之,家庭成员和戒烟的同事可以在哥斯达黎加的工作场所戒烟项目中发挥重要作用。
