简要总结
This randomized controlled trial conducted at Dokuz Eylül University evaluated whether video teleconsultations are as effective as traditional face-to-face clinic visits for helping people quit smoking
- Over a 6-month period, the study found that while overall quit rates were statistically similar between the two groups, patients receiving teleconsultation support experienced significantly fewer cigarette cravings and fewer relapses
- Teleconsultation also solved a common problem in smoking cessation: patients missing their follow-up appointments due to travel or time constraints
详细描述
Detailed Description Background & Purpose of the Study Smoking is a leading cause of preventable diseases and death worldwide
- While many smokers want to quit, they often face barriers to attending regular follow-up appointments at clinics, such as transportation issues, travel costs, child care, and lack of time
- This study was designed to see if teleconsultation (video calling) could remove these barriers and provide an effective alternative to in-person visits for smoking cessation counseling
Who Participated? The study included 65 volunteer adults, aged 18 to 55, who applied to a smoking cessation clinic
- Participants were randomly divided into two groups: 32 people in the teleconsultation group and 33 people in the face-to-face (control) group
How the Study Worked Both groups received the standard of care recommended by the Ministry of Health . Initial Visit: Every participant had their first visit in person. They underwent a physical exam, had their health history taken, and received a prescription for nicotine replacement therapy (15 mg or 25 mg nicotine patches)
