dc.description.abstractAim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the anxiety sensitivity levels and nicotine dependence and smoking cessation outcomes in patients referred to the Smoking Cessation Policlinics. Methods: This retrospective study included 286 patients referred to a smoking cessation policlinic between January 2017 and July 2017. Socio-demographic characteristics, Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTDN) scores, depression scores measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI) scale scores were retrospectively retrieved from patient medical files. All patients were contacted and the instant smoking status of the patients was recorded. Results: Of the participants, 19.5% (n=56) (including those who did not come to follow-up) had quit smoking and were abstinent at least six months after the quitting date. The mean scores of anxiety sensitivity were significantly higher in moderate/ high nicotine dependent patients than in mild nicotine dependent patients (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The mean scores of anxiety sensitivity and all its subscales were significantly higher in current smokers than ex-smokers (p<0.001 for each). Conclusion: It has been determined that anxiety sensitivity may be a severe barrier to smoking cessation success. Therewithal, anxiety sensitivity is significantly associated with high nicotine dependence. It is essential to evaluate the anxiety sensitivity, anxiety, and depression levels from the first days of patients who are planning to stop smoking. High anxiety sensitivity smokers should be carefully monitored, and treatments should be applied to reduce their anxiety sensitivities to increase quit rates.en_US
