Abstract EN
Background : Given the importance of water-pipe smoking cessation in health improvement, further studies are required to identify the predictors of this behavior.
Objectives : This study aimed to examine both one-way direct and indirect effects of the constructs of the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) on nicotine dependence among women residing in Bushehr, situated in Southwest of Iran.
Methods : This cross sectional studywasperformed in Bushehr province in Southwest of Iran.
In this study, 430womenwere selected through multistage, stratified, cluster, random sampling and were evaluated using a self-administered questionnaire.
Path analysis was applied to estimate the direct and indirect effects of attitude, perceived norms, and personal agency on nicotine dependence.
Results : The results demonstrated that extended TPB is a predictor of nicotinedependence (R2, 34%)andintention to quit water-pipe smoking (R2, 40%).
According to the results, themodified model was a good fit for the data (RMSEA, 0.05; NFI, 0.97; AGFI, 0.91).
Selfefficacy (factor loading, -0.30) and perceived behavioral control (factor loading, -0.17) both directly and indirectly affected nicotine dependence through intention.
However, in this study, subjective norms did not predict nicotine dependence.
Conclusions : The finding showed that skill-based training should be implemented in interventional programs to increase selfefficacy, alongside policies to constrain access to water-pipe smoking.
Therefore, social and cognitive interventions can be effective only in the presence of political changes.
