Coping Strategies in the Association Between Depression and Smoking Urges
BACKGROUND: The association of coping strategies with smoking-related variables according to sex has been understudied. Women experience greater difficulties than men to quit smoking and remain abstinent. Considering the impact of smoking on women's health, it is important to identify factors that may promote cessation. The goal was to analyze the differential association according to sex between depressive episode history and smoking urges throu…
Self-efficacy and sex influences on the relationship between tobacco dependence and long-term abstinence
Tobacco dependence and abstinence self-efficacy are interrelated, and both are relevant variables for quitting smoking. Previous literature suggests that sex may also be a key factor in this relationship. This study aims to examine the relationship between tobacco dependence, self-efficacy and 12-months abstinence, and to explore the role of sex in this relationship. A total sample of 288 adult treatment-seeking daily smokers ( M age = 45.8, SD =…
Hesitancy towards the Covid-19 booster vaccination
The aim of this study was to evaluate beliefs about and attitudes towards COVID-19 booster vaccination among subjects who had received the complete vaccination schedule but had not received the booster. We conducted a qualitative study using online focus groups made up of participants from all parts of Spain who had received the primary vaccination schedule but had subsequently refused any of the booster doses. Individuals were recruited by snowb…
App Use and Abstinence Outcomes
Background: App use is related to smoking cessation outcomes in mobile-based interventions but studies that examine its impact on traditional interventions combined with an app are still scarce. Moreover, the interplay between app use and participants’ sociodemographic characteristics remains unexplored, particularly in blended smoking cessation interventions. Objectives: The study aims to explore the main effect of app use and the interactive ef…

Does Quitting Smoking Affect Depressive Symptoms? A Longitudinal Study Based on Treatment-Seeking Smokers with a History of Depressive Episode
This study analyses changes in depressive symptomatology as a function of smoking status over time after a cognitive-behavioural intervention for smoking cessation among smokers with a history of depressive episode. The sample comprised 215 smokers with antecedents of depressive episode (M age =45.03; 64.7% female). Depressive symptoms were assessed using BDI-II at baseline, end of intervention and at 3-, 6- and 12-month follow-ups. Depression wa…
Boredom Susceptibility and Quit Smoking
Boredom is one of the main reported motives for smoking. However, scarce research has examined the relationship between boredom susceptibility and abstinence achievement in treatment-seeking smokers. The aim of this study is to examine the mediating effect of anxiety symptoms in the relationship between boredom susceptibility and abstinence at the end of a smoking cessation treatment. The sample was composed of 481 Spanish smokers who received a …
Perceived Stress and Smoking Cessation
Despite the fact that perceived stress is related to abstinence smoking outcomes, no studies have investigated the mediational effect of specific tobacco-related variables on this relationship. This study aimed to explore the indirect effect of perceived stress on abstinence at the end of treatment through smoking urges. The sample comprised 260 treatment-seeking smokers (58.5% female; Mage = 46.00; SD = 11.1) who underwent psychological smoking …
A Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of a Psychological Treatment to Quit Smoking Assisted with an App
Numerous studies have shown the efficacy of smoking cessation interventions. However, some challenges, such as relapse rates, remain. The availability of information technologies (ICTs) offers promising opportunities to address such challenges. The aim of this paper is to describe the protocol followed to assess the efficacy of a face-to-face cognitive-behavioral intervention for smoking cessation using a smartphone application as a complement, c…
Specific Relapse Predictors
Relapse remains a frequent and complex phenomenon that is not yet well understood. An under-researched area of study that may provide relevant information concerns the assessment of specific post-treatment variables, rather than the composite measures commonly used to predict smoking relapse. The current study sought to examine the effects of post-treatment smoking-related variables, including withdrawal symptomatology, abstinence self-efficacy, …
Changes in the profiles of smokers seeking cessation treatment and in its effectiveness in Galicia (Spain) 2001–10
In Spain there has been a qualitative change in the profile of the smokers seeking smoking cessation treatment. Treatment effectiveness has decreased, and the variables predicting intervention outcome have changed
Gender differences in personality patterns and smoking status after a smoking cessation treatment
We found substantial differences by gender in some personality patterns in a sample of smokers who received cognitive-behavioral treatment for smoking cessation. We should consider the existence of different personality patterns in men and women who seek treatment for smoking cessation
Smoking Cessation
This report concerns the case of a female client with a probable borderline personality disorder who requested psychological treatment for the cessation of smoking. After six sessions, this client gave up smoking and remained abstinent at follow-up after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The presence of a probable borderline personality disorder did not interfere in the cessation of tobacco use or in the maintenance of abstinence
Personality Disorders and Premature Dropout from Psychological Treatment for Smoking Cessation
The relation between personality disorders and premature dropout (attending half of the sessions or fewer) from a psychological treatment for giving up smoking was examined in a sample of 202 smokers. Percent of premature dropout was significantly higher for smokers with personality disorder in general, specifically for smokers with dependent personality disorder and with Cluster C personality disorder, than in smokers without such psychopatholog…
Depression and Cocaine Dependence
Presence of depression in cocaine-dependent users is relevant for treatment of these persons. This study assessed the presence of depressive symptomatology with a published Spanish translation of the Beck Depression Inventory for a sample of 115 Spanish cocaine-dependent users who were in outpatient treatment at Centers of Drug Dependence of Galicia, Spain. The mean score was 13.7 (SD = 10.3), with 24.3% of the sample having scores which indicate…
