Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Smoking, which remains one of the biggest public health threats that the world faces and has reached epidemic proportions, continues to cause more than eight million deaths on average per year worldwide. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing technique on the smoking urge and the success of smoking cessation in teachers.

Methods: This was an experimental (randomized controlled) study where motivational interviews were conducted with the individuals in the experimental group. The sample of the study was chosen from the teachers, who met the inclusion criteria, in the secondary schools in the central districts of Manisa. The study was completed with 30 smokers in the experimental group and 31 smokers in the control group. Questionnaire on Smoking Urges, Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale and Sociodemographic Data Form were used as data collecting tools. Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test, t-test and regression analysis were used to analyse the data.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The sample of the study included the teachers working in six state secondary schools, which had the highest number of teachers among all secondary schools in Yunusemre and Şehzadeler districts and provided permission (n:446). Individuals who volunteered to participate in the study, did not have a malignant disease or a psychiatric problem, were non-smokers, and taught at schools included in the study were enrolled.

The sample of the study consists of teachers working in six state secondary schools, which have the highest number of teachers among all secondary schools in the two central districts of a city and are allowed (n:446). Since schools were preferred as the randomization unit, three schools from six state secondary schools were determined as the experimental group and three schools as the control group by means of the random number generation software Research Randomizer.

Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants

He groups of smoking teachers were known by the researcher. In order to provide one sided blindness in the study, the smoking teachers were not informed about the groups to which their schools were assigned and therefore the groups they were in.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

The motivational interviewing group

The data of the study were collected through online questionnaires. An motivational interviewing lasting 30 minutes on average, both online and face-to-face, was carried out with the experimental group. Four reminder text messages were sent to the experimental group in a one-month period.

One month after the interview was carried out and Questionnaire on Smoking Urges and Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale were completed as a pretest for the experimental group, the scales were completed again as a post-test.
