SELF-EFFICACY-BASED SMOKING SITUATION FACTORS - THE EFFECTS OF CONTEMPLATING QUITTING VERSUS RELAPSING IN A TURKISH SAMPLE

1992-01-01
Karancı, Ayşe Nuray
The patterning of smoking situations on the basis of self-efficacy expectations among 174 Turkish smokers was examined by factor analysis which yielded five smoking situations. The examination of the effects of relapse versus contemplation to quit showed that contemplators had higher efficacy expectations as compared to noncontemplators, whereas relapse had no significant effect on efficacy beliefs. Least self-efficacy was observed for situations involving affective elements and highest efficacy for habitual situations. Results were discussed in terms of the heterogeneity of smokers and treatment implications.

CIGARETTE DEMAND, HEALTH SCARES AND EDUCATION IN TURKEY
Tansel, Aysıt (Informa UK Limited, 1993-04-01)
The purpose of this paper is to examine the demand characteristics of cigarettes in Turkey. Aggregate time-series data for the 1960 88 period are used in estimation. Income and price elasticities of cigarette demand are obtained. The effect of health warning is estimated to reduce cigarette consumption by about 8% since the inception of warnings in 1982. Imports of cigarettes have been allowed since 1984 in addition to advertising of cigarettes in the non-electronic media. The effect of health warnings are ...
Metacognitions in smoking: Evidence from a cross-cultural validation of the metacognitions about smoking questionnaire in a Turkish sample
Alma Uzuntuna, Leyla; Spada, Marcantonio M.; Fernie, Bruce A.; Yilmaz-Sarnanci, Adviye Esin; Caselli, Gabriele; Nikcevic, Ana V. (2018-01-01)
Metacognitions about the positive and negative effects of smoking have been associated with cigarette use and nicotine dependence. The aim of the present study was to validate the Turkish version of the Metacognitions about Smoking Questionnaire (MSQ; Nikcevic et al., 2015). The sample consisted of 859 self-declared smokers (452 female) aged between 18 and 68 years (mean = 28.3; SD = 7.9). Once the English to Turkish translation of the MSQ was completed, confirmatory factor analyses were conducted based on ...
Vitamin A deficiency induces structural and functional alterations in the molecular constituents of the rat hippocampus
Elibol-Can, Birsen; Simsek-Ozek, Nihal; Severcan, Feride; Severcan, Mete; Jakubowska-Dogru, Ewa (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2015-01-14)
To date, no structural study has been carried out on the effects of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) on hippocampal macromolecules. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of dietary VAD on the structure, content and function of rat hippocampal molecules was investigated using Fourier transform IF spectroscopy. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: an experimental group maintained on a vitamin A-deficient liquid diet (VAD, n 7); a control group maintained on a vitamin A-supplemented liquid...

Aim: In this epidemiological report, we assessed the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis (OP) in postmenopausal Turkish women and the relationship between body mass index (BMI), and some nutritional factors (habitual tea, coffee, tobacco, and milk product consumption) with OP.
Modelling the contribution of negative affect, outcome expectancies and metacognitions to cigarette use and nicotine dependence
Nikcevic, Ana V.; Alma Uzuntuna, Leyla; Marino, Claudia; Kolubinski, Daniel; Yilmaz-Samanci, Adviye Esin; Caselli, Gabriele; Spada, Marcantonio M. (2017-11-01)
Background: Both positive smoking outcome expectancies and metacognitions about smoking have been found to be positively associated with cigarette use and nicotine dependence. The goal of this study was to test a model including nicotine dependence and number of daily cigarettes as dependent variables, anxiety and depression as independent variables, and smoking outcome expectancies and metacognitions about smoking as mediators between the independents and dependents.
