BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tobacco use is a significant public health issue on a global scale. Prevalence of daily tobacco smoking for men in China is much higher than in the United States. Although prevailing literature suggests a negative relationship between smoking and quality of life, this pilot study sought to evaluate whether smoking reduction/cessation impacted on the perception of quality of life in an in-patient population in China.
METHODS: Twenty Chinese patients meeting DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia were recruited from Beijing Hui-Long-Guan Hospital, an in-patient facility in Beijing, China, for participation in this 4-week study. Seventeen participants with schizophrenia completed the study and were included in the final analysis. Cigarette consumption was recorded daily and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) was completed at baseline and at week 4. The relationships between smoking and perceived quality of life were evaluated using correlations between changes in WHOQOL-BREF and changes in cigarettes consumed as measured from baseline to week 4.
RESULTS: We found an increase in perceived quality of life in the social relationships domain with increased cigarette consumption in contrast to a decrease in this domain with decreased consumption. However, decreased cigarette consumption was associated with an increase in the psychological domain compared to the social domain.
CONCLUSIONS AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: These associations suggest a need for interventions to improve the social relationship perceptions with any successful reduction in cigarette consumption among Chinese schizophrenics in order to match their perceived psychological improvement.
