SUMMARYBackground and Aim: Tobacco consumption is still a prevalent issue. Given that teachers are respected in society, they have a great responsibility for tobacco control. This study examines, using the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), the prevalence of tobacco use among teachers and their different stages of tobacco use. It also evaluates teachers' views on smoking and the effectiveness of training on tobacco use.Methods: This study is quasi-experimental. Pre-test and post-test were used first with a cross-sectional group, then with a single group to determine the frequency of tobacco use. The research participation complied with the voluntary principles and the participation rate was 84.9%. The research sample comprised 450 teachers working at schools (N = 17) under the Kemalpasa Directorate of Education. The data form contained 29 questions about socio-demographic characteristics and smoking habits. The Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), Smoking Decisional Balance Scale (SDBS), and the Stage of Change were used. A pre-test was also administered, and training was given between January 13 and March 4, 2014. After the training sessions, two short messages (SMS) were sent on March 12 and March 19, 2014. A post-test was administered between April 1 and May 21, 2014. The relevant institutions and participants gave the requisite permission for the data used in this study. Percentage distribution, dependent t-tests and chi-square tests were used to evaluate the research data.Results: The median age of the teachers was 37.49 ± 7.84. The teachers' mean score for the pre-test of FTND was 5.7 ± 2.03, and their mean score for the post-test was 3.25 ± 2.07. Post-test scores were remarkably lower than the pre-test scores. It was found that teachers' mean scores for SDBS were different before and after training. After training, anti-smoking attitudes increased (pros-cons scores: pre-test: −3.64 ± 4.68, posttest: −11.25 ± 5.48). The training helped the entire group to make progress in the process change.Conclusion: After training on "the health effects of smoking", teachers' anti-smoking attitudes rose on the smoking decision balance scale, their nicotine dependency was reduced, and they were able to move forward in a positive direction.

“…On the other hand, TTM interventions increase the success of behavioral change, especially of smoking cessation (12). In Turkey, the TTM has been indicated to be effective in various smoking cessation studies focusing on different populations, such as adolescents (12), high school students (13), pregnant women (14), young military recruits (15), and adults (16). However, there has been no study conducted on adult women in Turkey in which researchers have used all the TTM scales developed for adult smokers.…”

Background/aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of transtheoretical model (TTM)-based individual counseling, training, and a 6-month follow-up on smoking cessation in adult women. Materials and methods:We carried out this randomized controlled trial in Konya, Turkey. Female subjects were randomly assigned into groups in a 1:1 ratio using block randomization, block size 3 × 3, divided by stages (precontemplation, contemplation, and preparation) and age (20-29, 30-39, and 40-49 years). The study was completed with 77 women (an intervention group containing 38 participants and a control group of 39 participants). The intervention group was interviewed 5 times (baseline and 1, 1.5, 2, and 6 months). Counseling and training were given to the intervention group at the first 3 interviews. The TTM scales were assessed for both groups at baseline and at 2 and 6 months.Results: In the 6-month follow-up, the rate of smoking cessation and the rate of progress were higher in the intervention group than in the control group. All the TTM variables had differences except the cognitive processes in the intervention group over time. Analysis of variance related to time × groups indicated that all variables had significantly changed except the cognitive processes and the pros of change. Conclusion:Results suggest that the TTM may be useful in understanding the stages individuals are at and in deciding on the appropriate treatment for smoking cessation.

“…15 Assessment of the selfefficacy within the stages of change can provide good predictive value related to smoking and worthwhile information to design more effective educational interventions for smoking cessation. 16,17 Among ex-smokers, highest level of self-efficacy induced lower level of temptation for relapse to previous stages. 18 …”

BACKGROUNDThe aim of the study is to determine self-efficacy of young adults across stages of waterpipe cessation. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis cross-sectional study was conducted with participation of 1012 students from Shahid Beheshti University in Iran. Data was collected within two months from May to July 2016 using a self-administered questionnaire that consisted of three parts including demographic variables, stages of change for waterpipe cessation (derived from Prochaska and DiClemente), and self-efficacy. Validity and reliability of questionnaire was assessed and approved by appropriate methods. Data was analysed by SPSS 19 using chi-square, t-test, ANOVA, and Univariate test. RESULTSThe mean age of participants in this study was 21.37 ± 2.76 years. Out of 1012 students, 345 participants (34.1 %) had a history of waterpipe smoking at least once. In addition, current waterpipe smoking in students was 26.28%. Overall 267 students (77.4%) were categorised in passive stages (precontemplation, contemplation and preparation) and 78 students (22.6%) in active stages of waterpipe cessation (action and maintenance). The mean score of self-efficacy had a significant relationship with stages of change (p<.001), gender (p=007), residence status (p=.013), and the type of smoking (p=.041). CONCLUSIONConsidering the high prevalence of waterpipe smoking in students, negative intention toward cessation, and low self-efficacy for waterpipe smoking cessation amongst students, we suggest informative interventions about hazards of waterpipe smoking to be done to increase self-efficacy and resistance to peer pressure.

E-mail: khezelimehdi@yahoo.com DOI: 10.14260/jemds/2017/1419 The prevalence of waterpipe consumption in some studies around the world has been reported from 12.3% to 32%. [5][6][7] Several studies conducted in Iran show that the prevalence of waterpipe in Iranian students is alarming.
