Effectiveness of the health literacy education program for medical student clerkships
BACKGROUND: Low health literacy is linked to poorer quality of life and health outcomes. However, one-third of healthcare professionals lacked awareness or understanding. This highlights the importance of incorporating health literacy into the education of healthcare professionals. Our study aimed to integrate health literacy into medical clerkship curricula and evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs. METHODS: We recruited fifth-year …
Smoking Cessation Rate and Its Predictors among Heavy Smokers in a Smoking-Free Hospital in Taiwan
Smoking poses critical risks for heart disease and cancers. Heavy smokers, defined as smoking more than 30 pack-year, are the most important target for smoking cessation. This study aimed to obtain the cessation rate and its predictors among heavy smokers. We collected data from heavy smokers who visited a smoking-free hospital in Taiwan during 2017. All patients were prescribed either varenicline or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking…
Development of Machine Learning Models for Prediction of Smoking Cessation Outcome
Predictors for success in smoking cessation have been studied, but a prediction model capable of providing a success rate for each patient attempting to quit smoking is still lacking. The aim of this study is to develop prediction models using machine learning algorithms to predict the outcome of smoking cessation. Data was acquired from patients underwent smoking cessation program at one medical center in Northern Taiwan. A total of 4875 enrollm…
Factors Correlated with Smoking Cessation Success in Older Adults
Smoking cessation in the elderly is very important. This study aims to explore the success rate of smoking cessation in the elderly and the factors that predict the success of smoking cessation. We collected data from smokers ≥60 years who visited a medical center in Taiwan during 2017. All patients were prescribed either varenicline or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation. The participants were asked about their smoking statu…
Factors Correlated with Success Rate of Outpatient Smoking Cessation Services in Taiwan
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. The purpose of this study was to explore the patient’s and physician’s factors that are correlated with smoking cessation success rate. A total of 877 smokers who visited the outpatient smoking cessation services at a medical center in Northern Taiwan were recruited for the study. Phone interviews were carried out six months after the initial visit to evaluate the success rate of smoking cessatio…
