Abstract
The purpose of this quasi-experimental study is to examine the effects of motivational enhancement program on smoking cessation of perceived self-efficacy and behavior among male clients of Tatakiab hospital. A simple random sampling was used to recruit a sample of 30 male smokers who met the study inclusion criteria. They were randomly assigned into the experimental (n = 15) and the control (n = 15) groups. The experimental group received motivational enhancement program plus regular program of the hospital, while the control group received only regular program. Research instruments included a demographic questionnaire, the perceived self-efficacy for smoking cessation questionnaire and the smoking cessation behaviors questionnaire. These scales yielded Cronbach’s alphas of .86 and .93. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, two way repeated measure ANOVA and pairwise comparison test using Bonferroni method were employed for data analyses.
The results revealed that the mean scores of perceived self-efficacy and smoking cessation behaviors between the experimental and control groups at post-test and 1 month follow-up were significantly different (p < .001). The mean scores of perceived self-efficacy and smoking cessation behaviors in the experimental group at pre-test was significantly lower than those at post-test and follow-up phase (p < .001). The findings supported the effectiveness of this motivational enhancement program. Health personnel could apply this program to assist the clients in order to reduce and stop smoking
