SUMMARY

The present study was a randomized clinical trial conducted with the aim to assess the to assess the effectiveness of two methods of tobacco cessation among tuberculosis patients visiting DOTS centres, Delhi.

To summarise the findings of the present study following points can be taken into considerations:

1.     A total of 90 study subjects who used tobacco products in any form, were included in the study, Group A consisted of 45 in behavioural counselling group and Group B consisted of 45 in the behavioural counselling and Nicotine Replacement Therapy.

2.     The study comprised of 95.6% male subjects and 2.2% female subjects. Majority of them belonged to the upper lower socioeconomic status.

3.     Out of 90 subjects, 40% are of the age Group 18-29 years in Group A, whereas, the Group B consist of 28.9% of age Group 18-29 years.  

4.     Pulmonary TB was diagnosed in 82.2% of the subjects in Group A and 62.2% in Group B were diagnosed with Pulmonary TB patients.

5.     Smoke form of tobacco was used by 24.4% study subjects in Group A and 13.3% in Group B. Smokeless form of tobacco was used among 55.6% and 48.9% study subjects in Group A and Group B respectively.

6.     Out of 45 subjects in Group A, (46.7%) had initiated tobacco use at an age between 15-20 year. In Group B, nearly 19 (42.2%) had initiated tobacco use at the same age as Group A. A dominant reason for initiation of tobacco was peer pressure.

7.     Previous quit attempts were not made by 97.8% study subjects in Group A and by 91.1% study subjects in Group B.

8.     With the help of behavioural counselling alone 57.8% study subjects were successful in quitting tobacco and 80% subjects had quit the habit with the use of Nicotine Replacement Therapy along with behavioural counselling after 6 months follow up period.

9.     Study subjects in Group B who received Behavioural Counselling and Nicotine Replacement Therapy were more successful in quitting tobacco use when compared to those who received Behavioural Counselling.

CONCLUSION

Behavioural counselling alone is found to effective and feasible in assisting tobacco cessation, but, in patients with higher dependence BC+NRT is found to be more successful.
