Background: Smoking causes a variety of health problems and causes burden to healthcare systems. Even when support is provided, local data suggest that around 50% of biochemically confirmed quitters resume smoking within 6 months of participating in a smoking cessation program. Mindfulness-based intervention is a promising option because accumulating evidence from randomized controlled trials support its use among smokers. Our team aims to determine if mindfulness-based interventions can prevent relapse in smokers who recently quit smoking. A pilot trial is needed to determine the feasibility of recruitment, randomisation and acceptability of the intervention in these patients Method: Forty participants, who just quitted smoking, will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to the 8week mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) program and to usual care.

Secondary | the Alcohol Use Identification Test (AUDIT) | validated instrument for alcohol use | assessed at baseline (before class 1) and immediately after the eighth MBRP class | |
Secondary | 10-item Perceived Stress Scale | validated instrument for stress level; there are two factors: (i) perceived helplessness and (ii) perceived efficacy; each subscales' score can be calculated by adding up scored from individual questions; Perceived helplessness subscale score: 0-24 (higher is worse); perceived efficacy subscale score 0-16 (higher the better) total score calculation: reverse scoring for questions in 'self-efficacy' sub-scale, total score can be calculated by adding all the scores together; Theoretical rage: 0 to 40; The higher the score, the higher the perceived stress | assessed at baseline (before class 1) and immediately after the eighth MBRP class | |
Secondary | 20-item Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale | validated instrument for positive and negative affect; 10 item for positive items and 10 for negative items; score range from 10-50 for both items. For total positive score, a higher score indicates more of a positive affect. For the total negative score, a lower score indicates less of a negative affect | assessed at baseline (before class 1) and immediately after the eighth MBRP class | |
Secondary | Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale | no subscale; total score is the sum of the score of individual item; possible score: 0-36; the higher the score, the more severe the withdrawal symptoms | assessed at baseline (before class 1) and immediately after the eighth MBRP class | |
Secondary | Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) | validated instrument to assess the level of mindfulness; 5 subscale; each subscale score is calucated by adding score from individual items; the protocol had included reverse scoring for item 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 25, 28, 30, 34, 35, 38, 39. Subscale score: observing (8-40), describe (8-40), act with awareness (8-40), nonjudge (8-40), nonreact (7-35); the higher the score, the higher the degree of mindfulness in each subscale | assessed at baseline (before class 1) and immediately after the eighth MBRP class | |
Secondary | Brief questionnaire of smoking urges | subscale 1 - intention/desire to smoke; subscale 2 - relief of negative affect & urgent desire to smoke; the score of each subscale is calculated by adding the score from individual items; possible scores for each subscale = 5-35; the higher the score, the higher the smoking urge | assessed at baseline (before class 1) and immediately after the eighth MBRP class |
