Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of Addressing Tobaccos through Organizational Change (ATTOC) intervention to Chinese psychiatric patients, and to better address tobacco use through the ATTOC intervention model in the context of China. METHODS: The study was conducted in Mental Health Center of West China Hospital in 2010. A total of 100 hospitalized psychiatric patients were recruited to carry out ATTOC intervention. Subjects suffers from mental illness were diagnosed by professional psychiatrists according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) criteria. RESULTS: The prevalence of tobacco use in hospitalized psychiatric patients were closely correlated with the type of mental illness, family smoking history, sex, age, marital status, education status, etc. However, most psychiatric patients knew little about these, and tended to ignore the importance of smoking cessation. CONCLUSIONS: The ATTOC intervention program of the U.S. may be suitable for hospitalized Chinese psychiatric patients, and it could be applied for the tobacco smoking treatment in China. However, the health effects of tobacco use still did not draw amount attentions from both the clinicians and general public. It is urgently needed to raise people's awareness and carry out ATTOC intervention to control tobacco use, and ultimately terminate tobacco use.
