Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the intention to quit smoking among Greek practicing police officers through the Theory of Planned Behaviour. 150 subjects aged 21-58 years participated. Four self-administered scales were used: (a) a questionnaire on demographic characteristics, (b) the Fagerström Tolerance Questionnaire, (c) the MacArthur Scale of Subjective Social Status and (d) a scale of the Theory of Planned Behaviour. It was found that 33,3% of police officers were smoking more than 20 years and 42% had attempted to quit smoking twice or more. Results showed moderate to high dependence and self-perception of addiction for the majority of police officers (72,6% and 68,7%, respectively). The inter-correlations between the factors of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and self-efficacy, were high. Regression analysis demonstrated perceived behavioural control (β = 0,53, p < 0,0001), self-efficacy (β = 0,34, p < 0,0001) and previous quit attempts (β = 0,22, p < 0,0001), as the strongest predictors of intention to quit smoking, followed by the period during which a person smokes daily (β = 0,18, p < 0,05) and attitudes towards quitting smoking (β = 0,14, p < 0,05). Given that the habit of smoking is influenced , by psychological (beliefs, emotions) and social factors (social pressure, patterns), it is imperative that smokers police officers are motivated to quit smoking through theory-based interventions within established smoking cessation clinics.
