The Effect of Immediate Smoking Cessation Interventions for Smokers With Chronic Airway Diseases

Bronchiectasis Adult Clinical Trial

Official title: Investigation of the Effectiveness of Immediate Smoking Cessation Interventions During Routine Outpatient Service in Current Smoker Chronic Airway Disease Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Smoking cessation support is provided by smoking cessation outpatient clinics in our country. Smokers with chronic airway diseases can also apply to these services by making an appointment from quit lines. Quit rates of that group patients were found to be similar to the general population. In novel smoking cessation support approaches immediate cessation support is reported to be more effective than routine practice. The sample in these studies consists of individuals who applied for lung health screening programmes. There is no study in the literature examining the effect of this immediate support on patients with chronic airway diseases' quit success. Our aim with this study is to examine impact of immediate cessation support by getting an appointment to the same cessation clinic instantly on our sample's cessation success.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients who are current smokers (who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and still smoke daily or some days) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the two arms in sequential order of presentation, after they have been identified and given written informed consent about the study. Demographic and clinical features will be filled. A brief smoking cessation intervention will be applied to one group and they will be recommended to apply to smoking cessation outpatient clinics by obtaining appointment from quit lines, as the way of current routine practice. Those randomized to the other group will have an immediate appointment at the smoking cessation outpatient clinic in addition to the brief smoking cessation intervention. Both patient groups will be called after 1 week by phone to inquire about their smoking cessation status and their application to smoking cessation outpatient clinics. Both groups will be called again in the 3rd month and their smoking cessation status, their application to smoking cessation outpatient clinics, and the duration/status of using pharmacological smoking cessation treatments will be questioned. ;
