Smoking Cessation Intervention in Adolescents Using Motivational Interview in a Children’s Hospital in Turkey: A Pilot Study

Abstract

Objective: In this study, the results of the intervention through the ‘Motivational Interview’  to address the smoking behavior of adolescents in the ‘Adolescent Medicine Outpatient Clinic’ were evaluated.

Material and Methods: Thirty-two adolescents smoking at least three cigarette per/day for the last three months were included in the study. The participants were called twice with a one-week interval and then with two weeks interval. The motivational interview was conducted to help them quit smoking each time they came. The participants were called by telephone three months after the last interview and were questioned on their smoking behavior.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 16.4 ± 1 years (min: 12-max: 18) and 47% (n = 15) of them were female. 28% (n = 9) of the participants had a chronic disease. According to the statements of the participants after three months, 6.2%(n = 2) of adolescents quit smoking, and 50% (n = 16) decreased the frequency of smoking. A statistically significant relationship was found between the rate of quitting or reducing smoking and the compliance to the smoke intervention program (p = 0.016) and, the number of cigarettes smoked per day at first admission (p = 0.047). There was no significant relationship between the age of the adolescents, the age of first experimentation, the duration of smoking, and the reduction of smoking. The rate reduction in cigarettes smoked was found to be higher in patients who had a chronic disease, non-smoker family, female gender and attendance to school, but the difference between these was not statistically significant (p> 0.05).

Conclusion: This study demonstrates that smoking interventions in the early period of smoking and the compliance to smoking cessation interventions may change the smoking behavior of adolescents.
