The development of smoking cessation promotion model by using innovation media among patients with noncommunicable diseases

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to explore smoking behavior and smoking cessation pattern, to develop and to examine the effect of the smoking cessation promotion model by using innovative media. The study sample consisted of 5 health personnel involved in smoking cessation, 10 patients in situation analysis phase and 27 patients in the study of model phase. Data collection was performed by using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, content analysis, and paired t-test were employed for data analyses. Results revealed that there were some patients with non-communicable diseases remained their smoking behavior and smoking cessation was provided by discussion on health hazards of tobacco. The developed smoking cessation promotion model included smoking history taking and patients assessment, assessing readiness to quit, nicotine dependence, effects of cigarette on health using innovative media, setting the quit date, and follow-up. After using the model, it was found that the patients had better average scores of knowledges, perceived severity, perceived risk, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and nicotine dependence than before using the model with statistical significance of p < .001. The satisfaction towards the use of the model among the health personnel and patients were at the highest level.
