Brief Summary: PurposeThis research aims to examine the effect of a mobile application developed against smoking behavior on teachers self-efficacy decision-making and carbon monoxide levels in breathThe research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental typeWorking in public schools in IzmirNarlıdere District teachers constitute the universe of the research According to the calculations made it was decided to include 35 people in the experimental group and 35 people in the control group After obtaining institutional permissions teachers who meet the inclusion criteria will be determinedTo ensure homogeneity control and intervention groups will be stratified according to age gender and addiction levelsAssignment to intervention and control groups will be made by simple randomization methodThe average scores of teachers self-efficacy breath carbon monoxide and decision-making levels are the dependent variables of the studyThe status of using the mobile application is the independent variable Personal Information Form Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependency Test FNBT Self-Efficacy Scale Classification of Stages of Change Scale Decision Making Scale and Carbon Monoxide Measurement Values Tracking Form will be used in this research SPSS 260 Package program will be used to analyze the data in the study It will be evaluated statistically at a 95 confidence interval and a significance level of p005 Number and percentage distributions for sociodemographic characteristics will be used in the analysis of the dataIn comparisons between groups parametric or nonparametric tests will be used after evaluating the normal distribution feature of the scale scores

Hypotheses 1 H1There is a difference between the breath CO level scores of intervention and control group teachers according to time pre-test - 1st month 3rd month and 6th month

Hypotheses 2 H1There is a difference between the self-efficacy scale scores of intervention and control group teachers according to time pre-test 1st month 3rd month 6th month

Hypotheses 3 H1 There is a difference between the decision-making level scores of teachers in the intervention and control groups according to time pretest-1st month 3rd month and 6th month
Detailed Description: Smoking is one of the leading preventable causes of disease According to global adult tobacco survey data 192 million people 316 in Turkey use tobacco products KYTA 2016 The rate of individuals over the age of 15 who use tobacco products every day is announced as 283 in TUIK 2022 data Smoking rates of teachers were found to be between 291 and 524 in studies conducted in Turkey Perincek 2021 Teachers are the most important exemplary community in the school with their identity as educators and their function as role models in society Teachers with nicotine addiction must smoke during school hoursHowever there is a negative relationship between teachers desire to smoke and their personal success Becet A2019 In a study it was stated that transtheoretic model-based education increased teachers anti-smoking attitudes and reduced nicotine addiction Mermer et al 2016 Studies indicate that the presence of teachers who smoke at school is associated with students smoking behavior Radha et al2019 Kjeld et al2023 Piontek et al 2008 Savadi et al2013 In addition the success rate of smoking cessation initiatives carried out by teachers themselves is low Tunç 2007 It is important for teachers to quit smoking not only for their own health but also for setting an example for students who are the adults of the future

It has been stated that the reason for the diversity in the effectiveness of investments made to quit smoking all over the world is the differences in the behavioral support provided to individuals Hartmann et al 2021 Most non-pharmacological interventions for smoking cessation use the transtheoretic change model defined by Prochaska and DiClemente Prochaska DiClemente 1992 Ripoll et al 2012 The transeoretic model is one of the guiding models used to help individuals achieve positive behavioral change According to this model a smoker goes through a series of stages in the process of quitting smoking non-reflection the individual does not think about quitting smoking contemplation the individual begins to feel unhappy with his addiction and begins to think about quitting smoking in the next 6 months preparation the individual is ready to quit smoking action the individual has not completed six months of quitting smoking continuation the individual has not smoked for more than six months Prochaska et al 1992 The model is based on the principle that behavioral change is a process and that the interventions are developed according to the stage of change the individual is in Taş et al 2016 When individuals are not ready for behavioral change the risk of relapse increases Koyun 2015 The best form of behavioral change is the one that occurs in stages Maddux 1995 Motivational interviewing techniques and counseling training are included in smoking cessation attempts web-based interventions and mobile phone-based interventions have been found effective as smoking cessation methods and are accepted as recommended approaches Önür et al2016 Taş et al2016 Fang et al2023 Akdeniz et al2020 Mermer et al2016

Today mobile technologies are among the effective methods in health promotion and development On the other hand the rate of individuals using mobile and smartphones in Turkey in 2023 is 954 Mobisad 2023 871 of these individuals can access the internet from their mobile devices TUIK 2023 Mobile internet interventions allow users to carry the intervention with them during their daily routine Danaher et al 2019 Barriers to quitting smoking include limited access and adherence to effective cessation interventions It is thought that technology can help overcome these obstacles Iacoviello et al2017 Mobile applications can reduce negative health outcomes by providing real-time permanent and cost-effective support to support tobacco cessation Chu et al2021 In their meta-analysis study investigating e-health-based smoking cessation interventions Fang et al 2023 defined the mobile health application as the dominant approach compared to others and stated that it could be an encouraging method for quitting smoking Iacoviello et al 2017 found that the use of the Clickotine smartphone application to quit smoking may be associated with smoking cessation results Many other studies have mentioned the effectiveness of mobile technologies in quitting smoking Baskerville et al 2018 Crane et al 2018 Marler et al 2019 Zhou et al 2023 Brin et al 2023 Pandya et al 2023

Biochemical confirmations are considered the gold standard in detecting smoking Fanshawe et al2017 While smoking causes the body to absorb various toxins one of these toxins that can be easily monitored is carbon monoxide CO CO assessment is an easy non-invasive and fast-yielding method Babaoğlu et al 2016 Shie et al 2017 Public health nurses have important roles in protecting and improving health and reducing health risks In the theme of the International Council of Nurses ICN 2005 it is stated that nurses have an important opportunity in their daily work routines to protect individuals from smoking and to help users quit smoking Bilir Telatar 2005 While nurses can provide objective data with CO measurement in the monitoring of the smoking cessation initiative process Thanks to mobile technology they can communicate with individuals more easily increase their motivation and follow up Nurses can support individuals to take action in the fight against smoking In a study the emergency room nurse used the Ask Advise Refer method to increase the number of patients with 63 cigarettes after a 12-week intervention It has been reported that many people accept smoking cessation interventions Simerson Hackbarth 2018 Similarly in a systematic review it was stated that smoking cessation interventions made by nurses were effective in helping individuals give up their smoking habits Petersen et al 2017
