| description | Introduction
The Fagerström test for nicotine dependence (FTND) was forwardbackwards
translated into the Malay language (FTND-M) and administered to
152 daily smokers who sought treatment for smoking cessation in government
health clinics in Selangor state, Malaysia.
Methods
Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), four measurement models
with the best relative fit were compared, one uni-dimensional model, and three
different two-domain (morning and daytime smoking) models.
Results
The findings indicate that the best model of the FTND-M was a two-domain
model, wherein domain one represented morning smoking (time to first cigarette
of the day, smoking more in the morning, and which cigarette would you hate
to give up) and domain two represented daytime smoking (cigarettes per day,
difficulty refraining from smoking, and smoking when ill) which showed good
model fit [χ 2 /df=1.932, goodness of fit (GFI) of 0.967, comparative fix index
(CFI) of 0.945, incremental fit index (IFI) of 0.98, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI)
of 0.95 and a real mean square end of approximation (RMSEA) of 0.079, and
substantial reliability >0.70].
Conclusions
This study indicates that the FTND-M can be used to assess these two
dimensions of nicotine addiction among daily smokers in a clinical setting. |
