This proposal tested an intervention for smoking cessation based on an extension of The Transtheoretical Model of behavior change (TTM) (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983). While this model has been used in many smoking cessation studies, the efficacy and effectiveness have not been fully evaluated. Helping relationships and self-efficacy are supported by the literature as important factors enabling smokers to quit. Addiction was theorized to be a deterrent to smoking cessation. National clinical recommendations suggest that nicotine replacement therapy and bupropion are also important methods for fostering smoking cessation. Thus, helping relationships, self-efficacy, and addiction were focused on in testing the TTM.

520 $a This proposal tested an intervention for smoking cessation based on an extension of The Transtheoretical Model of behavior change (TTM) (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983). While this model has been used in many smoking cessation studies, the efficacy and effectiveness have not been fully evaluated. Helping relationships and self-efficacy are supported by the literature as important factors enabling smokers to quit. Addiction was theorized to be a deterrent to smoking cessation. National clinical recommendations suggest that nicotine replacement therapy and bupropion are also important methods for fostering smoking cessation. Thus, helping relationships, self-efficacy, and addiction were focused on in testing the TTM.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to test the effect of an intervention consisting of an indigenous helper on smoking behavior. Two research questions were tested. Research question one: Is there a difference in post intervention smoking behavior (point prevalence and stage of change) while controlling for level of addiction, use of NRT and/or bupropion and self-efficacy between smokers who have an indigenous helper compared with those who do not in adult FreshStart participants? Research question two: Does self-efficacy mediate the relationship between helping relationships and smoking behavior (point prevalence and stage of change) when controlling for level of addiction and use of NRT and/or bupropion between smokers who have an indigenous helper compared with those who do not?
520 $a A two-group, two-time, five-week experimental design examined adult smokers participating in American Cancer Society FreshStart programs at five study sites in West Texas. Participants (N = 111) completed surveys at baseline and at four weeks to assess perceived helping relationships, self-efficacy to quit smoking, level of addiction and stage of change. Five instruments were used: Helping Relationships subscale of Processes of Change Scale, Partner Interaction Questionnaire-20, Self-efficacy/Temptation scale, Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, and the Stages of Change Questionnaire.
520 $a The hypotheses were not supported. NRT/bupropion use was the only significant predictor for point prevalence and stage of change (p < .00). Participants who used NRT/bupropion were three times more likely to move forward along the stages of change compared with those who did not. A time by group interaction on one helping relationships instrument supports further investigation into use of this construct for smoking cessation. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
