The association between physician trust and smoking cessation: Implications for motivational interviewing

Effectiveness of Health Coaching in Smoking Cessation and Promoting the Use of Oral Smoking Cessation Drugs in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…In contrast, due to the fact that our health coach paid special attention to patient-centered communication methods, adopted positive psychology techniques, and applied his rigorous behavioral coaching training to use MI and other skills proficiently, it allowed our patients to develop deep trust in the medical–patient relationship that should be established by physicians to a certain extent. Indeed, the degree of mutual trust between doctors and patients and the communication skills of medical staff seem to be crucial factors contributing to smoking cessation [ 34 ]. This is relatively difficult in the medical environment of Taiwan, because Taiwan’s medical system usually allots less than 5 min of a physician’s time to each patient during a consultation, which is completely insufficient for adequate, in-depth communication and discussion [ 35 ].…”

The use of biomarkers to guide precision treatment for tobacco use

“…Conversely, the use of biomarkers in precision approaches for tobacco treatment could be leveraged to help overcome some of these implementation challenges in primary care and other clinical settings with ready access to laboratory and pharmacological resources. An estimated 70% of individuals who currently smoke visit a clinician each year [ 141 ] and a large majority of this population expresses a great deal of trust in the information provided by their physician [ 142 ]. Indeed, preliminary data suggest that when educated, treatment-seeking individuals develop favorable views toward the use of the NMR to guide care [ 47 ], including among low-income and Black individuals [ 143 ].…”

Factors Influencing the Consumer Psychology of Cigarette Smokers and Impact of Awareness on Cigarette Consumption - A Literature Review

“…However, despite the obvious health risks going in hand with smoking, the rates of cigarette consumption are seen to be increasing rather than decreasing (Alexander et al, 2001). Smoker's beliefs about the negative health effects of smoking are a strong predictor of attempting to quit (West et al, 2001 cited by Benton et al, 2020).…”

“…One method of gaining disease-related information was through physicians as there was a higher level of trust. Knowledge related to health issues was seen to be gained through physicians with more trust in higher-income level households and such individuals were seen more likely to quit (Benton et al, 2020). In the study conducted by Cheah and Naidu (2012), older respondents were seen to abstain from cigarette consumption due to the health risk diagnosis and awareness of the consequences of smoking.…”
