What this trial studies
This program utilizes a smartphone application to deliver mindfulness-based interventions aimed at assisting smokers in quitting and maintaining abstinence. It addresses the common issue of relapse by providing an accessible alternative to traditional 8-week group sessions, which many patients find difficult to attend. Participants will engage with the eMind application, complete questionnaires, and take part in focus groups to enhance their smoking cessation journey. The approach is designed to be convenient and tailored for individuals motivated to stop smoking.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly increase the rates of smoking cessation and long-term abstinence among smokers.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective for smoking cessation, indicating potential success for this novel approach.
