ABSTRACT

Background:

In recent years, several studies have found a relationship between transdiagnostic variables, such as anxiety sensitivity (AS) and tobacco use and smoking cessation.

Method:

In this line, the aim was twofold 1) to analyze sex differences in variables related to tobacco and AS and 2) to examine the mediating effect of AS. For this purpose, the sample consisted of 340 smokers (Mage = 33.59 years, SD = 11.98, 68.5% women).

Results:

The results showed that men smoked more cigarettes per day and women had higher levels of total, physical, and cognitive AS. The structural equation model confirmed that AS is a mediator variable between the number of cigarettes per day and nicotine dependence, and the number of previous cessation attempts.

Conclusions:

These findings suggest that transdiagnostic variables, such as AS, and sex differences, must be taken into account in smoking cessation interventions. (AU)
RESUMEN
Antecedentes En los últimos años, diversos estudios han encontrado relación entre variables transdiagnósticas, como la sensibilidad a la ansiedad (SA) y el consumo de tabaco y dejar de fumar.

Método:

En esta línea, el objetivo ha sido doble 1) analizar las diferencias de género en variables relacionadas con el tabaco y la SA y 2) examinar el efecto mediador de la SA. Para ello, la muestra consistió en 340 fumadores (Medad = 33.59 años, DT = 11.98, 68.5% mujeres).

Resultados:

Los resultados mostraron que los hombres fumaban más cigarrillos al día y las mujeres presentaban mayores niveles de SA total, física y cognitiva. El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales confirma que la SA es una variable mediadora entre el número de cigarrillos al día y la dependencia a la nicotina y el número de intentos previos de dejar de fumar.

Conclusiones:

Estos resultados sugieren que hay que tener en cuenta variables transdiagnósticas como la SA y las diferencias de género en las intervenciones para dejar de fumar. (AU)
