Criteria for inclusion
Exclusion criteria
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.
Behavioral: MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING
The control group, on the other hand, were asked to fill in Questionnaire on Smoking Urges and Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale as a pretest, and again a month later as a post-test.
Motivational interviewing is a form of interview conducted with a patient-centered approach in order to enable people to discover and solve the obstacles to behavior change.
The desire of individuals to smoke
Questionnaire on Smoking Urges: Measurement of smoking desires in experimental and control groups, before and after intervention. Scoring of the scale ranges from 10 to 70. The smallest score that can be obtained from the scale is 10, indicating no urge felt to quit smoking. The highest possible score is 70 and indicates a very high urge to smoke.
Time frame: 1 month
The achievements of individuals towards quitting smoking
Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale: Measurement of smoking cessation success before and after intervention in experimental and control groups. The lowest score that can be obtained from SCSPS is 10, and the highest is 50. Higher scores from the scale indicate higher success of smoking cessation.
