Development and Implementation of an Online Psychological Support Program for Tobacco Users

The theoretical infrastructure of the TÜBSİS Program, which consists of a total of 8 modules lasting 1 month, is supported by the integration of two different frameworks: Mindfulness Approach and HAPA Health Action Approach. While the progress process in the TÜBSİS Program was created with the HAPA Model, the module contents of it were created within the framework of the Mindfulness Approach. Each participant receives reminder emails during this asynchronous and distance learning process and can open each new module at least 3 days later. Participants in the intervention (as well as control group) were asked about sociodemographic and tobacco use characteristics at baseline. Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) Model Change Question Form, Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Test and Informed Consent Form were administered to the intervention group at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the intervention study.
