Description

Nahid Shahabi and eight co-authors test a culture-aware teaching program to cut smoking after heart attack in a study from 2025. The trial enrolled 240 heart patients in Bandar Abbas, Iran, split into a teaching group and a control group. The program, built on the PEN-3 model, works through knowledge, perceptions, and social and cultural supports, in person and online.

Three months later, the teaching group scored higher on knowledge, perceptions, and action measures than the control group. Daily and weekly smoking rates also differed clearly between groups after the program. The authors say such tailored teaching may lower later heart risk.
