Aim
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) on the decrease of depression and the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
Method
This interventional study was carried out on 112 women (staff of a medical centre), 84 of whom were depressed and as current smokers, used on an average of 25 cigarettes per day. Some 78.6% of them were under psychiatric supervision for nine years. Finally, 28 smokers between the ages 25–55 were randomly selected and divided into two groups:
1) experimental, and
2) a control group.
The survey instruments were:
1) a questionnaire that contained personal, family, and smoking information, and
2) The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Participants received six (6) week session of CBT.
Results
Measured the effect of CBT through a pre-test and two post-tests. These results showed that there were significant decreases in depression with a reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
Conclusion
The results suggested that CBT provided some special benefits for women who smoke and suffer from depression.
