“…Behavioral techniques, including modeling, behavioral rehearsal, positive reinforcement, and home assignments were used to teach the participant-partner pair more effective ways to express positive feelings (e.g., recognizing success, expressing gratitude), make requests (e.g., going to the gym together, help with transportation), and express negative feelings (e.g., feeling disappointed) as they related to health behavior changes. Partner communication about health behavior changes such as smoking cessation and weight loss has been the focus of prior studies in general population samples (Rohrbaugh et al 2012;Romo and Dailey 2014), and recent intervention studies have attempted to teach partners more effective ways to talk with participants about negative and positive health behaviors (Patten et al 2011;Sorkin et al 2014;McDonnell et al 2015). Equipping support partners and participants with effective communication skills for giving and receiving support for health behavior change may be a key mechanism of successful partner-support lifestyle interventions for obese individuals with SMI.…”

The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the feasibility of an intervention designed to facilitate partner support for lifestyle change among overweight and obese adults with serious mental illness (SMI). Fifteen adults with SMI enrolled in a lifestyle intervention at community mental health centers participated with a self-selected partner in an additional 12-week intervention component designed to facilitate social support for health behavior change. Participants reported that the program was useful, convenient, and helped them reach their goals. Approximately two-thirds (66%) of participants were below their baseline weight at follow-up, including 27% achieving clinically significant weight loss. Participants reported significant increases in partner support for exercise and use of persuasive social support strategies. Partner support interventions that promote exercising together and positive communication may be effective for helping individuals with SMI initiate and sustain health behavior change necessary to reduce cardiovascular risk.

“…Approaches in which family members or friends (i.e., support persons) are involved in cessation treatment programs with smokers (Park, Tudiver, & Campbell, 2012; Westmaas et al, 2010) or support people are trained as lay cessation counselors (Patten et al, 2004; Patten et al, 2009) have not been uniformly effective. However, recent work suggests that social network members can influence smokers to utilize evidence-based treatments such as quitlines (Muramoto, Wassum, Connolly, Matthews, & Floden, 2010; McAfee, Davis, Alexander, Pechacek, & Bunnell, 2013; Patten et al, 2011). …”

Background Research examining relationships between social support and smoking cessation has paid little attention to non-treatment seeking smokers and not considered the role of autonomy support for fostering quitting motivation. This study examined if autonomy support received from family and friends was associated with quitting motivation and making a quit attempt among diverse smokers with varying levels of quitting motivation. Demographic characteristics associated with autonomy support were explored. Methods Participants (N=312) responded to advertisements seeking smokers “not quite ready to quit,” and were primarily Black, low-income, and unemployed. Most (255) enrolled in a clinical trial of smoking cessation induction strategies (treatment sample). An additional 57 not meeting the trial eligibility criteria of low quitting motivation enrolled for baseline assessments only. Participants completed baseline measures of autonomy support received from friends and autonomous quitting motivation. In the treatment sample, quit attempts were assessed at 6-months follow-up. Results Females reported higher levels than males of autonomy support from friends (p=0.003). Participants with a high school diploma/GED reported higher levels of support from family (p<0.001) and friends (p=0.014) than those with less education or a college/graduate degree. Both family (p=0.007) and friend (p=0.004) autonomy support scores were significantly, albeit weakly, associated with autonomous quitting motivation. Autonomy support was not associated with making a quit attempt. Conclusions Support from family and friends may promote autonomous reasons to quit among diverse smokers. Research is needed to assess the role of social support in the pre-quitting phases among racial and socio-economically diverse populations.

“…Key messages of these programmes may include reiteration of the importance of supportive language to encourage quitting and information about existing and emerging smoking cessation resources (Patten et al . ). Considering the high interest of smokers with MI in peer‐based group therapy, mental health organizations could consider initiating smoking cessation group programmes. These quit smoking groups may be moderated by peers and/or experts to provide a supportive, nonjudgemental, and encouraging environment for smokers with MI to discuss their quit smoking journey and learn from former smokers’ experiences (Dickerson et al .…”

Provision of smoking cessation support in the form of advice and information is central to increasing quit rates, including among people with mental illness (MI), who have 3-5 times higher odds of smoking than those without MI. This study investigated the extent and perceived utility of quit smoking advice and information available to Australian smokers with MI through face-to-face, semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 29 current smokers with MI. Qualitative analysis identified four major sources of quit smoking advice and information: (i) mental health practitioners; (ii) Quitline; (iii) social networks; and (iv) Internet and media. All identified sources, including formal sources (mental health practitioners and Quitline), were perceived as providing inadequate information about quitting smoking, particularly regarding optimal usage of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Social networks emerged as a substantial source of quit smoking advice and information, especially for nontraditional methods such as vaping. Participants showed high interest in receiving support from peer-led smoking cessation groups. A minority of participants reported that they had received quit smoking information from Internet and media; this was largely restricted to negative reports about e-cigarettes and short advertisements for nicotine replacement therapy. Our findings suggest that more can be done to provide smokers with MI with practical smoking cessation advice and support. Comprehensive information resources tailored for smokers with MI should be developed and disseminated via multiple pathways. We also recommend a number of policy and practice reforms to promote smoking cessation among those with MI.
