Health Perception, Health Belief Model-Based Smoking Cessation Constructs, and Nicotine Dependence as Predictors of Intention to Quit Smoking Among Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Young Adults

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Among deaf and hard-of-hearing young adults, the intention to quit smoking is positively associated with health perception and self-efficacy, and negatively associated with nicotine dependence, smoking consumption, degree of hearing loss, and perceived barriers. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Key Points

To evaluate how health perception, Health Belief Model constructs, and nicotine dependence predict the intention to quit smoking among deaf and hard-of-hearing young adults.
Conducted a cross-sectional correlational study of 680 deaf and hard-of-hearing young adults aged 18–25 years.
Measured variables using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, Intention to Quit Smoking Scale, Health Belief Model-Based Smoking Cessation Scale, and Health Perception Scale.
Analyzed data using Pearson's correlation, hierarchical multiple regression, mediation and moderation analyses, and structural equation modeling.
Intention to quit smoking was significantly and positively associated with positive health perception and self-efficacy.
Intention to quit smoking was significantly and negatively associated with nicotine dependence, daily cigarette consumption, degree of hearing loss, perceived barriers, and the composite Health Belief Model-Based Smoking Cessation Scale score.
