Treatment attrition: Associations with negative affect smoking motives and barriers to quitting among treatment-seeking smokers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Pre-treatment attrition and perceived barriers for quitting are clinically important processes involved in early phases of quitting smoking. However, less is known about the constructs that may contribute to these processes such as negative affect reduction smoking motives.

Method

The current study sought to evaluate the relation between negative affect reduction smoking motives and pre-treatment attrition and perceived barriers for quitting in a sample of 425 treatment-seeking smokers (48.5% female; Mage=37.69 years; SD=13.61) enrolled in a smoking cessation study examining the efficacy of a transdiagnostic panic-smoking cessation treatment relative to a standard smoking cessation treatment.

Results

Results indicated that greater negative affect reduction smoking motives was associated with an increased likelihood of treatment initiation (odds ratio=1.49, CI: 1.09, 2.04). Additionally, negative affect reduction smoking motives was associated with greater perceived barriers for cessation among pre-treatment drop-outs and treatment initiators.

Conclusions

This initial investigation provides evidence for the possible clinical utility in addressing negative affect reduction smoking motives during early stages of quitting. Additionally, such findings could potentially inform the development of personalized, early stages of quitting interventions for smoking cessation.

Project description:INTRODUCTION The number of cessation clinics in China have been increasing ever since the Chinese government supported the establishment of smoking cessation clinics (SCCs) in each province in 2014. Many studies have examined smoking cessation behaviors among male smokers, but few of female smokers. This study aimed to understand female smokers’ quitting behaviors in SCCs and identify predictors of successful cessation. METHODS This study used data of the SCCs Platform in China from 2018 to 2020. The self-reported 7-day point prevalence of abstinence rate (PPAR) at 1 month and at 3 months follow-up and the continuous abstinence rate (CAR) at 3 months follow-up are reported based on smokers’ characteristics and intention to treat analysis. A multiple logistic regression model was used to identify predictors of continuous abstinence at 3 months follow-up. RESULTS The 7-day PPAR of female outpatients in SCCs was 29.20% at 1 month follow-up and 28.36% at 3 months follow-up. The CAR at 3 months follow-up was 19.88%. Female smokers who were prepared to quit within 7 days (AOR=2.86; 95% CI: 1.53–5.32), today (AOR=4.01; 95% CI: 2.35–6.85), had started to quit (AOR=7.11; 95% CI: 4.12–12.27), and used a combination of counseling and drugs (AOR=2.41; 95% CI: 1.73–3.35) were more likely to quit smoking. Associated with lower quitting rates were: living in the central region of China (AOR=0.47; 95% CI: 0.31–0.73) and the west region (AOR=0.48; 95% CI: 0.31–0.73); being aged 30–39 years (AOR=0.39; 95% CI: 0.23–0.64), and 40–49 years (AOR=0.41; 95% CI:0.24–0.69); being unemployed (AOR=0.64; 95% CI: 0.45–0.91); having a fair perceived health status at the first visit (AOR=0.65; 95% CI: 0.47–0.91) and a poor one (AOR=0.37; 95% CI: 0.21–0.64); having a moderate nicotine dependence (AOR=0.64; 95% CI: 0.44–0.92) and a severe one (AOR=0.50; 95% CI: 0.34–0.72). CONCLUSIONS In our study, the region of residence, age, employment, perceived health status, Fagerström test for nicotine dependence (FTND), readiness to quit, and intervention model were independent predictors of quitting for female smokers. Improving the motivation to quit, providing intensive psychological interventions and equipping SCCs with cessation medication would assist female smokers to quit.
