The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing technique on the smoking urge and the success of smoking cessation in teachers.
Methods: This was an experimental (randomized controlled) study where motivational interviews were conducted with the individuals in the experimental group. The sample of the study was chosen from the teachers, who met the inclusion criteria, in the secondary schools in the central districts of Manisa. The study was completed with 30 smokers in the experimental group and 31 smokers in the control group. Questionnaire on Smoking Urges, Smoking Cessation Success Prediction Scale and Sociodemographic Data Form were used as data collecting tools.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWINGBehavioural
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.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| The motivational interviewing group | Experimental | 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. Receives: Behavioral: MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING |
| The group in which no motivational interviews were conducted | No intervention | 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. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: 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.
Measured: 1 month

- Model description
- The sample of the study included the teachers working in six state secondary schools, which had the highest number of teachers among all secondary schools in Yunusemre and Şehzadeler districts and provided permission (n:446). Individuals who volunteered to participate in the study, did not have a malignant disease or a psychiatric problem, were non-smokers, and taught at schools included in the study were enrolled. The sample of the study consists of teachers working in six state secondary schools, which have the highest number of teachers among all secondary schools in the two central districts of a city and are allowed (n:446). Since schools were preferred as the randomization unit, three schools from six state secondary schools were determined as the experimental group and three schools as the control group by means of the random number generation software Research Randomizer.
