Efficacy of Smoking Cessation and Prevention Programs by Intervention Methods: A Systematic Review of Published Studies in Korean Journals during Recent 3 Years

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate program methods for effective smoking cessation and prevention through systematic review of studies published during recent 3 years in Korea. Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in DBPIA, RISS, KISS and other databases looking for studies published from 2010 to 2012 that dealt with the effects of intervention on smoking prevention and cessation. A total of 25 studies were included in the final analysis. Three independent reviewers critically evaluated the study quality and evidence of effectiveness based on The Community Guide methodology. Results: Multi-component intervention showed strong evidence of effectiveness for adolescents and sufficient evidence for patient smokers. Cognitive-behavioral intervention for adolescents and child-parent interaction program for adults demonstrated sufficient evidence of effectiveness on the smoking cessation and its determinants. There was insufficient evidence showing effectiveness of smoking prevention programs. Conclusion: Improving the quality and quantity of the intervention studies on smoking could help to expand evidence base for effective intervention methods and strategies on smoking.

Effects of a prevention program for internet addiction among middle school students in South Korea

“…While the prevention of internet addiction among middle school students can promote their physical and mental health, and reduce social costs, most international studies have focused on internet addiction treatments rather than prevention or have employed intervention strategies without solid theoretical frameworks (Han & Kim, ). The use of theory‐based intervention strategies can identify the differences between intervention programs and categorize intervention methods and content elements, provide information for verifying the effectiveness of these interventions and help in the development and verification of future intervention elements (Kim, Park, Kwon, Choi, & Cho, ). Therefore, a theoretical framework and components of various theories are needed to develop interventions for the prevention of internet addiction.…”

Exploring socio-contextual factors associated with male smoker’s intention to quit smoking

“…According to the TTM, a smoker goes through pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance stages when quitting smoking [ 10 , 11 ]. A critical factor in attaining these stages of behavioral change is the smoker’s intention to quit smoking [ 12 – 15 ]. This is because the TTM is a helical process with the capacity for repeated entrance and regression rather than a process with unidirectional progression.…”

“…국내에서 발표된 청소년 대상 금연 관련 중재 논문을 메타 분석한 결과, 금연 중재방 법은 주로 지식 전달 중심의 강의와 비디오 이용 교육이 대부분이며 [5], 금연 중재에서 효과를 보인 50% 이상의 논문이 이론적 기반 없이 이루어져 [6] 근거 이론의 적용이 필요함을 알 수 있다. 주로 기 존의 금연 중재 프로그램에서 근거가 된 이론은 인지 행동주의이다 [6]. 인지 행동적 접근은 중독문제를 다루는 데 효과적인 방법이나 해당 문제 또는 증상 위주의 접근이라는 한계가 있으며 재발 문제에 취약하다 [7].…”
