Esta dissertação enquadra-se no estudo de fatores sociais, profissionais e individuais associados ao fenómeno de consumo de produtos à base de nicotina nas Forças Armadas Portuguesas e de Segurança Pública.
Recorrendo a um modelo de moderação, investigámos as Competências Políticas (moderador) na relação entre Dependência Tabágica (variável preditora) e Intenção de Cessação Tabágica (variável critério).
Seguiu-se um delineamento não experimental com dados recolhidos de fevereiro a maio de 2025, com a participação voluntária dos profissionais/militares interessados. A amostra totalizou 95 participantes (n = 95), dos quais 82 (86,3%) do sexo masculino, 12 (12,6%) do sexo feminino e 1 (1,1%) não binário, com idades compreendidas entre os 22 e 60 anos (M = 41,33; SD = 9,213) e sendo 54 (56,8%) integrantes do ramo da Marinha e 41 (43,2%) da GNR.
Como instrumentos de investigação foram utilizados a adaptação para português da escala Political Skill Inventory (G. R. Ferris et al., 2005), o Teste de Fagerström (Ferreira et al., 2009) e o Teste de Richmond (Richmond et al., 1993), aliados à recolha de dados sociodemográficos, profissionais e sobre hábitos de consumo.
Os resultados evidenciam que as competências políticas não moderam a relação entre a dependência tabágica e intenção de cessação, tendo sido identificado que a preocupação com a saúde e os custos financeiros são os principais motivadores para a cessação, e o stress ocupacional o principal obstáculo.
Conclui-se que o combate ao tabagismo, nesta amostra, depende sobretudo de fatores intrapessoais e da gestão do stress, reforçando a necessidade de programas institucionais de apoio à cessação visíveis e acessíveis.
This dissertation explores the social, professional, and individual factors influencing the consumption of nicotine-based products among members of the Portuguese Armed Forces and Public Security Forces. Utilizing a moderation model, we examined the impact of political skills (as the moderator) on smoking dependence (the predictor variable) and the intention to quit smoking (the criterion variable). The study employed a non-experimental design, with data gathered from voluntarily participating professionals and military personnel between February and May 2025. The participant sample comprised 95 individuals (n = 95), of whom 82 (86.3%) were male, 12 (12.6%) were female, and 1 (1.1%) identified as non-binary. Participants’ ages ranged from 22 to 60 years (M = 41.33; SD = 9.213). In terms of professional representation, 54 (56.8%) were affiliated with the Navy and 41 (43.2%) with the National Republican Guard (GNR). The research employed several instruments, including the portuguese adaptation of the Political Skill Inventory scale (Ferris et al., 2005), the Fagerström Test (Ferreira et al., 2009), and the Richmond Test (Richmond et al., 1993), along with the collection of sociodemographic, professional, and smoking-related consumption data. The results indicate that political skills do not moderate the relationship between tobacco dependence and the intention to quit smoking. Health concerns and financial costs were identified as the main motivators for cessation, while occupational stress emerged as the primary barrier. It is concluded that, in this sample, efforts to combat tobacco use rely mainly on intrapersonal factors and stress management, reinforcing the need for visible and accessible institutional cessation support programs.
