Abstract

This research was a two-group quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. The aim was to examine the effects of the promoting smoking cessation program on smoking cessation behavior using teamwork approach and self-efficacy of full-time workers in the workplace, Samut Sakhon Province. The samples consisted of 60 full-time workers in the workplace, Samut Sakhon province. Each group included 30 persons. The experimental instrument was a promoting smoking cessation program on smoking cessation behavior using teamwork approach and self-efficacy that was examined for content validity by 3 experts. The Reliability of questionnaire on the nicotine dependence was .80. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, Pair-sample t-test, Wilcoxon signed ranks test, independent-sample t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that after the intervention, the nicotine addiction level and the number of cigarettes smoked per day in the experimental group were decreased when compared to the pre-intervention period (p < .05) and the control group with statistical significance (p < .05). In addition, the smoking cessation success of the experimental group was higher than the control group with statistical significance (p < .05). The study’s findings could serve as a guideline for the workplace’s stakeholder team to promote effective smoking cessation in the workplace for full-time workers to quit smoking.
