The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the smoking cessation program with Internet computer assisted instruction among adolescents, which was focused on improving smoking knowledge, changing attitude, reducing smoking behavior, and enhancing self-efficacy to quit smoking. A quasi-experimental pre-post research design was used for the study. Seventy-seven smoking students, obtained from the vocational school, were assigned into the groups. The experimental group was treated with the 6-session smoking cessation program, whereas the control group was untreated. Both two groups were assessed by the questionnaires before and after the program. The results of this study showed that no relationships between smoking knowledge and any of the followings: smoking attitude, smoking behavior, or self-efficacy. However, self-efficacy has significant effect in smoking attitude, and in smoking behavior. For the experimental group, smoking cessation program significantly increased smoking knowledge, changed smoking attitudes, reduced smoking behaviors, and improved self-efficacy to quit smoking. Most of the experimental students were interested in cessation activities and thought these activities were useful and helpful. In addition, most of them were interested in the Internet computer assisted instruction. This study suggests more efforts on study to verify this smoking cessation program. |
