Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: He groups of smoking teachers were known by the researcher. In order to provide one sided blindness in the study, the smoking teachers were not informed about the groups to which their schools were assigned and therefore the groups they were in.
• Purpose: PREVENTION
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR

Model Details: The sample of the study included the teachers working in six state secondary schools, which had the highest number of teachers among all secondary schools in Yunusemre and Şehzadeler districts and provided permission (n:446). Individuals who volunteered to participate in the study, did not have a malignant disease or a psychiatric problem, were non-smokers, and taught at schools included in the study were enrolled. The sample of the study consists of teachers working in six state secondary schools, which have the highest number of teachers among all secondary schools in the two central districts of a city and are allowed (n:446). Since schools were preferred as the randomization unit, three schools from six state secondary schools were determined as the experimental group and three schools as the control group by means of the random number generation software Research Randomizer.
