Behavioral activation for smoking cessation and mood management following a cardiac event: results of a pilot randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Smoking cessation following hospitalization for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) significantly reduces subsequent mortality. Depressed mood is a major barrier to cessation post-ACS. Although existing counseling treatments address smoking and depression independently in ACS patients, no integrated treatment addresses both. We developed an integrated treatment combining gold standard cessation counseling with behavioral activation-based mood management; Behavioral Activation Treatment for Cardiac Smokers (BAT-CS). The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial was to test feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of BAT-CS vs. Standard of Care (SC).Participants were recruited during hospitalization for ACS and were randomly assigned to BAT-CS or SC. The nicotine patch was offered in both conditions. Smoking, mood, and stress outcomes were collected at end-of-treatment and 24-week follow-up.Fifty-nine participants (28 BAT-CS, 31 SC) were recruited over 42 weeks, and assessment completion was above 80% in both conditions. Treatment acceptability and fidelity were high. At 24 week follow-up adjusted odds ratios favoring BAT-CS were 1.27 (95% CI: 0.41-3.93) for 7-day point prevalence abstinence and 1.27 (95% CI: 0.42-3.82) for continuous abstinence. Time to first smoking lapse was significantly longer in BAT-CS (62.4 vs. 31.8 days, p = 0.03). At 24-weeks, effect sizes for mood and stress outcomes ranged from ?2partial of.07-.11, with significant between treatment effects for positive affect, negative affect, and stress.The design of this study proved feasible and acceptable. Results provide preliminary evidence that combining behavioral activation with standard smoking cessation counseling could be efficacious for this high risk population. A larger trial with longer follow-up is warranted.NCT01964898 . First received by clinicaltrials.gov October 15, 2013.

Project description:Although smoking cessation is a key priority emphasized by professional societies and multidisciplinary consensus guidelines, significant variation exists in the methods and efficacy of smoking cessation treatment practiced by vascular surgeons. We conducted a series of patient, surgeon, and nonpatient stakeholder focus groups to identify important domains for establishment of a successful smoking cessation program.As part of a planning effort for a randomized clinical trial on usual care vs a standardized, evidence-based smoking cessation intervention, our group performed a series of interviews and focus groups. These were four 1-hour interviews, conducted with stakeholders such as tobacco cessation counselors (n = 2), a Quit Line representative (n = 1), and a Vascular Quality Initiative leader (n = 1), as well as two 90-minute, formal, professionally moderated focus groups, one with vascular surgeons (n = 7), and another with patients (n = 4). Transcripts and audio recordings were qualitatively reviewed for themes to establish the most important domains perceived to be associated with a successful smoking cessation program.Patients emphasized four domains critical for a successful smoking cessation program: the motivation to quit, an individualized approach, the timing of an intervention, and the tone of the physician who offers counseling. Although surgeons and nonpatient stakeholders also emphasized the importance of a compassionate physician tone, surgeons and nonpatient stakeholders differed from patients in their remaining domains. They emphasized the feasibility of a brief intervention in a busy clinical practice, implementation of the effort, and necessary infrastructure for smoking cessation programs. All focus group participants described a brief, evidence-based smoking cessation intervention as feasible in routine vascular practice.Differences in motivation and significance exist for patients, surgeons, and stakeholders when they considered the specific domains most important in building a successful smoking cessation program. Despite these differences, all parties involved agreed that a brief, standardized intervention can be successful delivered in a busy vascular clinic setting.
