Filter by:There was no significant difference in the effectiveness of smoking cessation in COPD patients under a single session of SDM compared with a single session of smoking cessation education but significant improvement in the psychological dependence of smoking cessation shows that both groups. More intensive and more frequent interventions should be provided in the future.
Most smokers return to smoking (relapse) after making a quit attempt, but evidence of effective intervention to prevent relapse is scarce. Taking advantage of recent advances in mobile technologies, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile chat messaging-based relapse prevention intervention in promoting successful quitting in people who recently quit smoking (recent abstainers) using a randomised controlled trial design.
Sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) people have disproportionately high rates of tobacco use - the number one cause of preventable death. Reasons for this include using tobacco to cope with social minority stressors, pro-tobacco use norms in SGM social spaces and networks, and targeted tobacco industry marketing. Empowerment Theory explains how positive behavior change, like quitting smoking, can be promoted through skills development with greater participation in the public affairs of one's community. An empowerment approach may enhance tobacco cessation treatment for SGM people and other stigmatized groups because it links individual well-being with the larger social and political context. This pilot study will assess the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary impact of empowerment-enhanced tobacco smoking cessation assistance for SGM adults. We will enroll N=20 SGM adults in Oklahoma who smoke and are willing to quit. Participants will receive standard tobacco cessation assistance through the Stephenson Cancer Center Tobacco Treatment Research Program (TTRP). Concurrently, they will also engage in 'empowerment activities', meaning SGM organizing and community-building activities, like conducting follow-up phone calls to gender marker and name correction clinic participants. This will be guided by an Oklahoman SGM-serving community partner. Participants will complete 8 surveys during the intervention period and 12 weeks post-quit-date, a 60-minute, in-depth exit interview, and biochemically-verified smoking status before the intervention and 12 weeks post-quit-date. This pilot study will establish collaborative relationships between the PI's team and local SGM-serving organizations, and will produce preliminary findings to support future R01-level funding to conduct a fully-powered randomized control trial of a multi-level empowerment-enhanced SGM tobacco cessation intervention.
The investigators are conducting a pragmatic cluster randomized trial in stepped-wedge of which objectives are to evaluate the effectiveness and the conditions of effectiveness of an organizational strategy for smoking cessation - 5A-QUIT-N - among pregnant women in New Aquitaine (NA), by using and optimizing existing resources
This pilot study will assess the acceptability and feasibility a novel mHealth app designed for smokers who are ambivalent about quitting and have been diagnosed with HIV.
The objectives of this project are to develop, implement, and test the feasibility and effectiveness of an artificial intelligence adaptive mobile pregnancy tobacco cessation app-based intervention using deep tailoring and a self-nominated support person, and to build mHealth research capacity in Romania. The central hypothesis is that the intervention will show evidence of feasibility and effectiveness in increasing positive support, pregnancy cessation, and postnatal abstinence. The intervention is grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), a counselling style that is effective in assisting people to quit smoking. The app will be novel in its use of the unique functionality of smartphones, use of reinforcement learning (RL) and deep tailoring to continuously adapt the intervention, the emphasis on increasing positive support, and the use of the app by both smoker and support person. The long-term goal of the research program is to use mHealth for smoking cessation leveraging the unique functionality of smartphones and to continue building mHealth research capacity and developing research networks in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and other LMICs. Aim 1 (R21 phase). Develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of the SFT2.0 app-based mobile smoking cessation intervention with a support person during pregnancy and postpartum in Romania. Through a user-centered and iterative design the investigators will enhance the SFT1.0 app, deepen the tailoring, incorporate RL, expand the app for use by any support person, and test the intervention including the app and MI video counseling in a series of usability studies and a 12-week open trial (n=20). Aim 2 (R33 phase). Test the SFT2.0 app-based smoking cessation intervention in a hybrid effectiveness and implementation randomized controlled trial. The investigators will randomize 375 pregnant smokers and their support persons to i) a fixed arm, including the SFT2.0 app for both, and fixed pre- and postnatal MI counseling; ii) an RL-adaptive arm, with the app continuously optimizing as-needed MI counseling; or iii) control group. Aim 3 (R21 and R33 phases). Develop mHealth research capacity by enhancing individual and institutional research capabilities in Romania and expanding the existing international research network.
The development of mobile applications ("mobile apps") is steadily increasing and appears to be a promising treatment method to help people change unwanted behaviors or maintain a regular relationship with the medical system. Mobile apps aimed at smoking cessation have been shown to be effective. However, if a treatment is not used regularly, it will not have the desired effect. The main objective of this study is to identify what makes a person decide to use a smoking cessation app and to do so regularly. The second objective is to determine what is necessary to achieve long-term change with a mobile app.
The causes of death due to smoking are responsible for 11.5% of the total deaths in the world. Smoking causes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases. In some studies on nursing students in the world, the prevalence of smoking is between 13.9% and 32%; It is known that it varies between 12.9% and 28% in Turkey. At the end of this study, nursing students are supported in smoking cessation by providing smoking cessation training, they become a role model for the society by gaining the right behavior, creating a society that smokes less, reducing the financial burden on the state as a result of protecting individuals from possible chronic diseases, and guiding health trainings on this subject. It is foreseen that it will be a guide in its implementation in the whole country. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the I Stop Smoking, Protecting My Future and Health program based on the Preced-Proceed Model on the smoking behavior of nursing students.
This research focuses on maximizing the benefits of proven smoking cessation interventions to support people who smoke to quit, as part of the strategy to help New Zealand become smoke-free. A large, pragmatic community-based clinical trial is planned which draws on 15 years of smoking cessation research undertaken by the study team. This research has shown that both cytisine and nicotine e-cigarettes are more effective than nicotine replacement therapy at helping people to quit smoking, and are more acceptable to users. New Zealand research has also shown that text-messages offering advice and support around quitting smoking are highly effective and acceptable. The planned trial will test whether using cytisine and nicotine e-cigarettes together will help more New Zealanders to quit smoking long-term, compared to using cytisine alone or nicotine e-cigarettes alone. Participants in all three groups will also receive smoking cessation text-messaging behavioral support.
Most existing smoking cessation services are based on '5A's' and '5R's' models which are recognized by the World Health Organization as a standardized tool for smoking cessation. While there are more techniques that are known to be effective and could be incorporated in existing smoking cessation interventions to further promote their effectiveness. This study is to examine the effectiveness SDTM in assisting adult smokers in Hong Kong to quit.
