ABSTRACT

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the SCP (MI+NRT) for smoker prisoners living with HIV. The study design was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, follow-up, and a control group. As many as 34 smoker prisoners living with HIV were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received the SCP, while the control group received no treatment. The research measurement instruments comprised FTND and BMS. MANCOVA models were employed to test the hypothesis. The results showed that the indicators of 'quit smoking' reduced among prisoners in the experimental group.
