Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of attaining a smoking cessation goal when an agreement on means to achieve smoking cessation among male college student smokers was established. METHOD: This study was planned as a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design and the sample was divided into an agreement group and a comparison group by convenience sampling in a college of G city. The data was analysed with SPSS Win10.0 using a Likelihood chi2-test, Odds ratio, Paired t-test and ANCOVA. RESULT: The theory that the degree of smoking cessation will be higher in the agreement group than the Comparison group was rejected (delta = 2.567, p = .055). The theory that nicotine dependency will be lower in the agreement group than the comparison group was supported (F = 3.965, p = .049); however, the theory that the number of cigarettes smoked per day will be lower in the agreement group than the comparison group was rejected (F = 1.342, p = .252). CONCLUSION: It has been shown that an agreement on means to achieve smoking cessation goals is a key factor to success in quitting smoking.
