Summary:碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 公共衛生學系碩士班 === 103 === Objectives: To the problem of youth smoking, the most important thing is rooted in prevention education. Teachers play important role in the school education, as well as on the tobacco hazard control education. The aim of this study is to quantitative analysis of the relevant factors in this study were desire for teacher's smoking prevention strategies of smoking behavior of high school students. Methods: The data which was obtained from “A Study Health Behaviors Survey among Students and Teachers before Health Promoting School Accreditation Project”, supported by Taiwan Bureau of Health Promotion. 3320 students and 99 teachers were pararticipated. Data were analyzed in descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's chi-square and hierarchical linear modeling. Result: The results show that the average of high school class smoking rate was 7.1%. In HLM, after controlling other variables, male students, parents' marital status as separated / divorced / widowed, friends who were smoking and students with low antismoking self-efficacy, have the higher ratio of smoking behavior; In the teacher variables, the higher the class refused to smoke ethos, the lower class student smoking behavior, cases (OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.77-1.01); in teachers’ tobacco hazard prevention strategies, teachers use "occasionally, often provide parents tobacco hazard information" strategy, have lower student smoking behavior situations (OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.30-0.94; OR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.16-0.87 ); classes which teachers use "frequent use of multiple teaching strategies," have higher smoking behavior circumstances (OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.03-3.65); and other tobacco hazard strategies have no relavent with the occurrence of smoking behavior. Conclusion: The higher of "provides parents smoke damage information" strategy using rate, the lower classes of students smoking behavior, so that parent control to students' smoking behavior is a major factor. Class antismoking trend higher the class, the lower student smoking behavior circumstances; according the followings class ethos impact on student behavior should not be underestimated. We suggested parents could communicate with teachers to understand their philosophy tutor and classes antismoking practices, strategyes to establish consensus and mutual trust, thereby reducing student smoking behavior. The effectiveness of antismoking training classes and training you need to pay more to promote and meet mentors, and then refused to tobacco hazard.
