About this trial
Purpose:This research aims to examine the effect of a mobile application developed against smoking behavior on teachers' self-efficacy, decision-making and carbon monoxide levels in breath.The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental type.Working in public schools in Izmir/Narlıdere District teachers constitute the universe of the research. According to the calculations made, it was decided to include 35 people in the experimental group and 35 people in the control group. After obtaining institutional permissions, teachers who meet the inclusion criteria will be determined.To ensure homogeneity, control and intervention groups will be stratified according to age, gender, and addiction levels.Assignment to intervention and control groups will be made by simple randomization method.The average scores of teachers' self-efficacy, breath carbon monoxide and decision-making levels are the dependent variables of the study.The status of using the mobile application is the independent variable. "Personal Information Form", "Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependency Test (FNBT)", "Self-Efficacy Scale", "Classification of Stages of Change Scale", "Decision Making Scale" and "Carbon Monoxide Measurement Values Tracking Form" will be used in this research. SPSS 26.0 Package program will be used to analyze the data in the study. It will be evaluated statistically at a 95% confidence interval and a significance level of p\<0.05. Number and percentage distributions for sociodemographic characteristics will be used in the analysis of the data.In comparisons between groups, parametric or nonparametric tests will be used after evaluating the normal distribution feature of the scale scores.
Hypotheses 1 H1:There is a difference between the breath CO level scores of intervention and control group teachers according to time (pre-test - 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month).
Hypotheses 2 H1:There is a difference between the self-efficacy scale scores of intervention and control group teachers according to time (pre-test, 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month).
Hypotheses 3 H1: There is a difference between the decision-making level scores of teachers in the intervention and control groups according to time (pretest-1st month, 3rd month and 6th month).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependency Test (FNBT):
It measures the addiction levels of individuals. It was developed by Fagerström in 1989 and consists of 6 questions. The scores that can be obtained from the scale are between 0 and 10.High scores from the scale indicate a high level of nicotine addiction, and low scores indicate a low level of nicotine addiction.
Time frame
1,3,6. monthsSecondary outcomes
1
Self-Efficacy Scale:
In 1985, Diclemente et al. the 2012 version of the scale developed by A.Ş. consists of 8 items and has no subscales. It is a Likert-type scale scored from 1 to 5, and the highest score that can be obtained is 40 and the lowest score is 8. Getting a high score from the scale indicates the will to stop smoking even in situations that encourage the individual to smoke and the success of changing smoking behavior.

Classification of Stages of Change Scale:
The process of quitting smoking was described in stages by Prochaska and Diclemente (1983) and the questions of the change phase were created according to the processes. There is no scoring on the scale; the person determines his/her place in the change phase according to the answers he/she gives to the questions. The scale consists of five stages: not thinking, thinking, preparation, taking action and maintenance.
Time frame
1,3,6. months2
Decision Making Scale
Velicer et al. The Turkish adaptation of the scale, which was developed by Koyun et al. in 1985, was made by Koyun et al. It has a long form with a total of 24 items and a short form with 12 items. The scale explains the benefits and harms of changing behavior that is considered problematic.
Time frame
1,3,6. months3
Carbon Monoxide Measurement Values Monitoring Form:
It will be used to measure and track individuals' breath carbon monoxide levels. For this purpose, the piCO Smokerlyzer device will be used. The device is a carbon monoxide breath test monitor, analyzing carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb%) and carbon monoxide (CO) ppm levels in the breath.
