摘要
背景:近30%的智利妇女报告吸烟对她们的健康有重要影响。目的:设计并检验手机干预年轻女性戒烟的方法。研究设计:使用最佳可用证据和消费者输入创建移动应用程序(app)。通过随机临床试验评估其有效性。研究参与者:来自智利圣地亚哥中产阶级社区的18至44岁的女性。纳入标准是打算在接下来的一个月内戒烟,并拥有智能手机。在危险饮酒筛查中呈阳性的妇女被排除在外。干预:App提供支持戒烟6个月以上的内容。对照组安装了一个应用程序,该应用程序传递一般性信息,以促进研究的持久性。在随机分组后6周、3个月和6个月进行电话随访。主要观察指标:受试者入组后6周内7天内无吸烟记录。意向治疗分析采用SPSS 17.0进行,显著性水平设为0.05。结果:309名女性进入研究。平均每天吸烟8.8支。58.6%的参与者(n = 181)完成了主要结局的随访。意向治疗分析显示,干预组中9.7%的参与者报告在过去7天内没有吸烟,而对照组为3.2% (RR 2.98 CI 95% 1.11-8.0, P = 0.022)。此外,干预组和对照组中分别有12.3%和1.9%的参与者报告在6周时持续戒断(RR为6.29,95% CI为1.9-20.8,P < 0.001)。持续禁欲在6个月时也具有显著性(p值为0.036)。结论:“Appagalo”应用程序是支持年轻女性戒烟的有效工具。这是一种简单的移动健康戒烟替代方案,可以有助于改善美洲和全世界妇女的健康。
"Appagalo" a Customized Mobile Health Intervention (mHealth) for Smoking Cessation in Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Background: Almost 30% of Chilean women report cigarette smoking with important repercussions on their health.
Objective: Design and test a mobile phone intervention for smoking cessation in young women.
Study design: A mobile application (app) was created using the best available evidence and consumer input. Its effectiveness was assessed through a randomized clinical trial.
Study participants: Women 18 to 44 years old from middle-class neighborhoods in Santiago, Chile. Inclusion criteria were intention to quit cigarette smoking in the following month and having a smartphone cell phone. Women with positive screening for risky alcohol consumption were excluded.
Intervention: App with content to support cigarette smoking cessation over 6 months. The control arm included an app that delivered general messages to promote permanence in the study. Telephone follow-up was performed at 6 weeks, and at 3 and 6 months after randomization.
Main outcome measure: No smoking in the past 7 days at 6 weeks from enrolment. Intention-to-treat analysis was carried out using SPSS 17.0 with a significance level set at .05.
Results: 309 women entered the study. Mean number of cigarettes smoked in a day was 8.8. 58.6% of the participants (n = 181) completed the follow-up for the primary outcome. With intention-to-treat analysis, 9.7% of participants in the intervention group reported not having smoked any cigarettes in the last 7 days vs 3.2% in the control group (RR 2.98 CI 95% 1.11-8.0, P = .022). Additionally, 12.3% vs 1.9% of the participants in the intervention group and control group reported continuous abstinence at 6 weeks, respectively (RR 6.29 95% CI 1.9-20.8, P < .001). Continuous abstinence was also significant at 6 months (P-value of .036).
Conclusions: The "Appagalo" app is an effective tool to support smoking cessation in young women. It is a simple mHealth alternative for smoking cessation that can contribute to improving women's health in the Americas and worldwide.
