Official title
A Cluster Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Group Education on Smoking Cessation and Blood Pressure in Smoking Elderly Males With Stage 1 and 2 Hypertension
Overview
Smoking elderly males with stage 1 and 2 hypertension who currently smoked at least one cigarette per day and were willing to quit smoke will be invited to this cluster randomized, controlled, interventional, open clinical trial. The investigators will provide participants with group education of smoking cessation and their blood pressure measured at clinic at the sixth month is the primary endpoint. The investigators aim to explore how group education of smoking cessation effects smoking cessation, hypertension control and cardiovascular events.
Interventions
- Behavioral group education
Group education is one of strategies and behavioural interventions of smoking cessation. Lectures, group meeting for mutual support, discussion of coping skills and suggestions for prevention relapse can help smokers quit smoking by providing support and encouragement from people in same condition. - Behavioral conventional smoking cessation management
Including regular follow-up of smoking status and giving advice of smoking cessation
Primary outcome measures
- change of clinic systolic blood pressure from baseline at the sixth month [Time frame: 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, stroke,myocardial infarction) [Time frame: 6 months, 1 year, 2years, 3 years]
- change of clinical blood pressure and home blood pressure from baseline [Time frame: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years]
- Hypertension control rate [Time frame: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years]
- Biochemical smoking cessation rate [Time frame: 6 months]
- Self-reported 7-days smoking cessation rate [Time frame: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years]
- Self-reported long-term smoking cessation rate [Time frame: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years]
- Self-reported average number of cigarettes smoked per day [Time frame: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years]
- Relapse rate [Time frame: 6 month]
- Mini-Mental State Examination score [Time frame: 6 months]
- FEV1-Pulmonary functions [Time frame: 6 months]
- PEF-Pulmonary functions [Time frame: 6 months]
- FVC-Pulmonary functions [Time frame: 6 months]
