简介:移动的健康干预措施是解决拉丁美洲人之间与烟草有关的差异的一种有前途的模式,拉丁美洲人是最大的少数群体,也是短信技术的最高用户。这项试点研究的目的是评估参与戒烟干预提供通过短信(踢屁股)among Latino smokers.Methods:我们依靠一个以社区为基础的招聘策略,招收20名拉丁裔吸烟者踢屁股。结果的措施包括在12周的生化验证禁欲,参与者的短信互动程序,satisfactions.Results:参与者的平均年龄为40.7岁(SD=14.6)。大多数参与者是男性(70%),没有健康保险(75%),并报告尼古丁依赖性低(60%)。大多数参与者(75%)至少向该计划发送了一条短信。平均而言,与该计划互动的参与者发送了31.8(SD=39.7)条短信。在参与者的信息中确定了八个主题(例如,幸福感,自我效能,戒烟策略,治疗外社会支持等)。在12周,30%的参与者被生化验证为abstinent.Conclusion:戒烟短信干预拉丁美洲人之间产生高参与度,并导致值得注意的戒烟率。未来的研究应该评估短信互动与心理效应的关系(例如,治疗中的社会支持,治疗联盟和感知自主支持)。
Introduction: Mobile health interventions are a promising mode to address tobacco-related disparities among Latinos, the largest minority group and the highest users of text messaging technology. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess engagement in a smoking cessation intervention delivered via text message (Kick Buts) among Latino smokers.Methods: We relied on a community-based recruitment strategy to enroll 20 Latino smokers in Kick Buts. Outcome measures included biochemically verified abstinence at 12 weeks, participant text messaging interactivity with the program, and satisfaction.Results: Participants' mean age was 40.7 years old (SD=14.6). Most of the participants were male (70%), did not have health insurance (75%), and reported low nicotine-dependence (60%). The majority of participants (75%) sent at least one text message to the program. On average, participants who interacted with the program sent 31.8 (SD=39.7) text messages. Eight themes were identified in participants' messages (eg, well-being, self-efficacy, strategies to quit, extra-treatment social support, etc). At 12 weeks, 30% of the participants were biochemically verified as abstinent.Conclusion: A smoking cessation text message intervention generated high engagement among Latinos and resulted in noteworthy cessation rates. Future studies should assess the relationship of text messaging interactions with psychological effects (eg, intra-treatment social support, therapeutic alliance, and perceived autonomy support).
