Results: The individuals in the experimental group had higher scores from the Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale and its Determination and Readiness and Health Perception and Favourable Environment subscales compared to the control group (p<0.05). After the intervention, the individuals in the experimental group had lower mean scores on the Questionnaire on Smoking Urges than the control group (p<0.05).

Öz

Amaç: Sigara, dünyanın karşı karşıya olduğu en büyük halk sağlığı tehditlerinden biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlerde Motivasyonel Görüşmenin sigara içme dürtüsü ve bırakma başarısı tahmini üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma Randomize kontrollü bir çalışmadır. Katılımcılar 61 öğretmendi. Deneydeki 30 sigara içicisi ile motivasyonel görüşmeler yapıldı ve kontrol grubundaki 31 sigara içicisine müdahale edilmedi. Veri toplama aracı olarak Sigara Dürtüsü Anketi, Sigarayı Bırakma Başarı Tahmin Ölçeği ve Sosyodemografik Veri Formu kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Deney grubundaki bireyler, Sigarayı Bırakma Başarı Tahmin Ölçeği ile Belirlenme, Hazır Bulunuşluk, Sağlık Algısı ve Elverişli Çevre alt ölçeklerinden kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek puanlara sahipti (p<0.05). Müdahalenin ardından deney grubundaki bireylerin Sigara İçme Dürtüsü Anketindeki ortalama puanları kontrol grubuna göre daha düşüktü (p<0.05). Sonuç: Davranış değişikliklerinin sağlanması ve sürdürülmesi için sigarayı bırakma polikliniklerinde rutin uygulamalarda Motivasyonel Görüşme temelli danışmanlık uygulamaları kullanılmalıdır. Öğretmenlerin toplum için sağlıklı davranışlara yönelik rol modelinin sigaranın sonuçları hakkında farkındalığını artırmak için okul sağlığı çalışmaları yapılması önerilir.
