摘要

Background

Nicotine addiction is the most common and important type of substance addiction and has lots of harms to human health. The most important thing a smoker can do to protect their health is to quit smoking. When deciding to quit smoking, the relationships of a person with people he/she lives with also affect the quitting process positively or negatively.

Aim

The purpose of this study was to define the couple-burnout and professional burnout experienced by individuals who were applying to smoking cessation clinics for the first time.

Methods

The study was carried out at the Smoking Cessation Polyclinics. Participants were given a survey form that included questions about their sociodemographics and reasons for starting to smoke. Also “Modified Fagerstrom Test” “Burnout Scale short form,” and “Couple-burnout Scale-short form” were used. The statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.

Results

People who were unhappy with their jobs (p = 0.035), worked shifts (p = 0.038), or suffered from mental illnesses (p = 0.005) had higher levels of burnout. Women are more likely than males to experience couple burnout (p = 0.001) and to be dissatisfied with their careers (p = 0.031). A significant positive connection (p < 0.001) was found between the spouse burnout scale and the burnout scale.

Conclusion

In people who decide to quit smoking, the underlying burnout should definitely be taken into consideration. Spousal support should also be considered among other factors during polyclinic visits.
