Abstract:
This survey research aimed to study the factors correlated with assertive behavior when exposed to second-hand smoke exposure in secondary school students in Bangkok Metropolis. The sample was composed of 414 secondary school students who had been exposed to second-hand smoke. Data were collected by using a questionnaire and were analyzed by computing statistics in regard to frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, and chi-square. The results showed that had been exposed to second-hand smoke 12.3% ; had never smoked 87.7% ; and most of the sample performed behaviors when exposed to second-hand smoke, i.e., “did not pay attention to” “did not notice”, or “walked away”, (45.1% and 35.1%, respectively). In regard to the correlation analysis, it was found that personal factors in regard to sex, class level, and smoking behavior (had smoked/never smoked) were found to correlate significantly with assertive behavior when exposed to second-hand smoke (p-value<0.05). Intrinsic factors related to perceived severity of being exposed to second-hand smoke, perceived-self-efficacy to perform assertive behavior, knowledge about the Health Protection Law and legal right of non-smokers, decision-making and problem-solving skills, and human relations and communication skills were found not to correlate significantly with assertive behavior regarding second-hand smoke. Besides, environmental factors concerned with the school’s teaching-learning curriculum and exposure to media campaigns about the dangers of second-hand smoke were found not to correlate with assertive behavior regarding second-hand smoke. Thus, the Ministry of Public Health and related organizations should carry out media campaigns in order to stimulate people to perceive their own rights and understand the appropriate methods to perform behaviors to protect their own rights including carrying on public relations activities on a larger scale to inform the public.
