Abstract

Smoking cessation among individuals living with HIV/AIDS presents a critical challenge due to its detrimental health implications, including increased morbidity and mortality from non-AIDS-related diseases. This demographic may benefit from CBT for smoking addiction. This study investigates whether weekly face-to-face group CBT lowers nicotine addiction in HIV/AIDS-positive adults 21 and older. The problem statement stresses the urgency of addressing smoking-related health issues among HIV/AIDS patients who smoke twice as often as the general population, increasing health disparities. This demographic lacks targeted smoking cessation medicines despite its high smoking rate and harm. This gap can be filled by studying CBT's smoking cessation efficacy.

[...] How do you envision the long-term impact of CBT on your smoking cessation efforts and overall health outcomes? Did the CBT sessions address any specific concerns or challenges related to living with HIV/AIDS and its impact on smoking cessation? How did you incorporate the strategies and techniques learned in CBT into your daily life outside of the group sessions? Can you discuss any instances where you successfully applied CBT principles to resist the urge to smoke in real-life situations? How do you perceive the relationship between your mental health and your smoking habits, and how did CBT address this connection? [...]

[...] This study examines whether HIV/AIDS adults may quit smoking with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). A non-experimental approach using questionnaires and interviews will assess how successfully weekly CBT reduces nicotine addiction in HIV-positive persons 21 and older. III. Problem Statement The underlying issue in this research is the increasing rates of deaths and health complications resulting from smoking among individuals with HIV/AIDS aged 20 years and older. Smoking tobacco poses a major danger to health, impacting almost all parts of the body and leading to various illnesses. [...]

[...] Conventional approaches to smoking cessation have had limited efficacy in those with HIV. Kierstead et al. (2021) conducted an initial randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate a specialized smoking cessation strategy based on the minority stress concept. We compared traditional counseling to a customized intervention that included a single in-person counseling session utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy to improve resilience, in addition to 30 days of interactive text messaging. The research had smoking cessation as its primary focus while also looking at cigarettes smoked daily, exhaled carbon monoxide levels, and self-confidence in quitting. [...]
