Effectiveness of an individual acceptance and commitment therapy for smoking cessation, delivered face-to-face and by telephone to adults recruited in primary health care settings: a randomized controlled trial.

摘要: The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness delivering an individual Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for smoking cessation among a Chinese population. Participants were recruited from six primary health care centers. A total 144 eligible take part in agreed be randomized intervention group (n = 70) control (n = 74), respectively. Both groups received self-help materials on cessation. ACT also underwent initial face-to-face session two telephone sessions at 1 week 1 month following first session. They re-contacted through follow-ups 3, 6, 12 months by research assistants. outcome self-reported 7-day point-prevalence abstinence 12-month follow-up Other outcomes included biochemically validated quitting, quitting attempts, intention quit, self-perception psychological flexibility. There no significant difference point prevalence quit rate between (24.3%) (21.6%) (risk ratio = 1.12; 95%CI = (0.62, 2.05); p = 0.704).
