Research Abstract

The purpose of this research is to grasping the stage of behavioral change toward abstention from smoking and the environment of the second-hand smoke among kindergarteners through the intervention of notifying the results of the conditions of second-hand smoke among kindergarteners to the smoking family members.The results of the intervention showed there was an increase in avoidance behavior against second-hand smoking among smoking family members; however, second-hand smoke was still detected. Although there was no statistically significant correlation with the stage of behavioral change toward abstention from smoking, there were multiple smokers trying to quit smoking throughout the year. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the intervention and the result showing the difficulty in avoidance of second-hand smoke through changing the location to smoke had some impact on the mindset of smoking family member s toward abstention from smoking.
