“…The inclusion of biochemical verification in clinical research design can greatly improve the quality of the study [ 48 ]. However, only using patient-reported outcome or/(and) biochemical verification to evaluate the physiological changes of smokers, there is a certain level of limitation in the adoption of outcome indicators and the choice of evaluation methods, and the lack of observation of the psychological and behavioral changes of smokers, such as the change in smoking abstinence expectancies [ 49 ], motivation to quit smoking, the number of attempts to quit smoking and the degree of nicotine dependence, can be used as secondary outcome indicators of smoking cessation intervention. These data can also provide clues for improving smoking cessation interventions [ 11 ].…”

“…Future research should focus on improving the methodological quality of the trial, shortening the intervention period, and exploring more outcomes. Further studies should consider both the negative and positive influence of the low dose computed tomography screening population and report the test according to CONSORT guidelines; additionally, future research can also evaluate the smoking cessation effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions by observing changes in end points such as Fagestrom test, pack years, eCO, and spirometry; the smoking abstinence expectancies questionnaire (SAEQ) can be used to evaluate smoking abstinence expectancies [ 49 ]. This would help to explore smoking cessation interventions more comprehensively to provide scientific evidence of smoking cessation methods for long-term smokers at high risk of lung cancer.…”

Background Lung cancer has always been the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate. Smoking is the most important risk factor for lung cancer. Although potential positive effects of smoking cessation interventions on the high-risk population of lung cancer have been observed, evidence of its definitive effect remains uncertain. This study aimed to summarize the evidence related to the effects and safety of smoking cessation interventions for the high-risk population of lung cancer. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted through the following seven databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Science Direct. Screening and assessment for risk of bias were conducted by two independent reviewers. Meta-analysis was performed for the 7-day-point prevalence of smoking abstinence and continuous smoking abstinence using RevMan 5.3 software. Results Meta-analysis results show that in the 7-day-point prevalence of smoking abstinence (by patient-reported outcome): individualized intervention was significantly higher than that of the standard care [RR = 1.46, 95%CI = (1.04,2.06), P < 0.05]. Moreover, the smoking cessation interventions were significantly elevated than that of standard care [RR = 1.58, 95%CI = (1.12, 2.23), P < 0.05] within 1–6 month follow-up time. In line with the findings in cigarette smoking, the continuous smoking abstinence of E-cigarettes (biochemical verified): E-cigarettes were significantly higher than that of the standard care [RR = 1.51, 95%CI = (1.03, 2.21), P < 0.05], and within 1–6 month follow-up time, the smoking cessation interventions were significantly greater than that of standard care [RR = 1.51, 95%CI = (1.03, 2.21), P < 0.05]. Publication bias was detected possibly. Conclusions The results of this systematic review show that smoking cessation intervention is effective for long-term lung cancer high-risk smokers who participate in early screening, of which E-cigarettes are the best, followed by individual smoking cessation. Trial registration A review protocol was developed and registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). Trial registration: CRD42019147151. Registered 23 June 2022.

“…These findings are in line with theoretical models of smoking–anxiety interplay [ 76 ] and related research among Latinx smoking samples [ 32 ] that suggests anxiety-related states may be involved in biased smoking beliefs centered on mood and bodily regulation. The group differences for clinical anxiety (versus not) are likely to be clinically important given abstinence expectancies are often related to less quit success and higher degrees of tobacco withdrawal and craving [ 39 , 77 ].…”

There is a well-established relation between anxiety psychopathology and smoking in the general population. However, little work focuses on Latinx/Hispanic (hereafter Latinx) persons who smoke from this comorbidity perspective. The present investigation aimed to explore differences among English-speaking Latinx adults who live in the United States (US) and smoke cigarettes with and without a probable anxiety disorder in terms of cigarette dependence, perceived barriers for quitting, severity of problems when quitting, and smoking abstinence expectancies. The sample included 338 adult Latinx daily cigarette smokers (Mage = 35.53 years; SD = 8.65; age range 18–61; 37.3% female) who identified as Latinx and were recruited nationally throughout the US. Results indicated that among Latinx persons who smoke, those with a probable anxiety disorder (compared to those without) were more likely to demonstrate higher levels of cigarette dependence, severity of problems when trying to quit, perceived barriers for quitting, and negative abstinence expectancies after adjusting for key variables linked to smoking and anxiety (e.g., hazardous drinking, education). The current findings are the first to document probable anxiety disorder status as a clinically relevant factor for a wide range of smoking variables and beliefs about abstinence among Latinx persons who smoke.

“…Afterward, to facilitate the use of the DASS in time-constrained settings, a shorter 21-item version (i.e., DASS-21) was developed [23,24]. The DASS-21 has shown favorable psychometric and clinimetric properties; due to its short format, ease of administration, and availability in the public domain, it has become one of the most widely employed selfreport instruments in research and clinical practice [25,26]. Notably, recent research has demonstrated its robust reliability and validity in specific populations, including primary and middle school teachers [27], undergraduate nursing students [28], frontline doctors [29], and caregivers of young children [30], thus substantiating its usability across various contexts.…”

The adolescents’ ability to discriminate between different negative emotional states is still under debate. A useful tool to unravel this issue is the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), but the literature on its structural validity in young people is ambiguous. This study aimed to expand knowledge on the emotional experience of youth by investigating the factor structure and psychometric properties of the DASS-21 in Italian nonclinical adolescents. Six hundred fifty-five students (60.6% girls) aged 14-18 (M = 16.3 ± 1.29) completed an online survey containing the DASS-21 and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). To test the factor structure of the DASS-21, several alternative models were tested, also adopting an Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) procedure. Measurement invariance, reliability, validity, and latent means differences were addressed. The ESEM model with three correlated factors of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress yielded the best fit to the data, supporting a hierarchical structure of the DASS-21. In addition, this model was invariant across sex and age groups. The Anxiety scale predicted both positive and negative affect, while Depression predicted positive affect only. Finally, girls scored higher than boys on Anxiety and Depression, but no age differences emerged. Overall, our results indicate that anxiety, depression, and stress are distinguishable in Italian adolescents, but, at the same time, they appear to share an underlying condition of general distress, which may explain the comorbidity between internalizing problems. Such findings are discussed in terms of clinical and preventive implications for the adolescent population.
