The purpose of this study was not only to see whether group cognitive-behavioral art therapy can have an effect on adolescent smoker's smoking, but also to provide basic data for further group cognitive-behavioral art therapy to prevent adolescents from smoking. That is, the data can be used for early education of stop-smoking or no-smoking. Subjects were students ranging from 10th to 12th year selected from a vocational high school in Pusan who are eleven students including two females. They receiving the total 10 sessions of art therapy, except for the preliminary interview session at the audiovisual archives within the school library during the period of May through June of 2007. Research instruments adopted are the tests of smoking impulse, life stress and amount of smoking and smoking quantity is measured in a self-reporting style. For data analysis, Repeated Measurement of One-Way ANOVA is taken on the results of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test.
The results from the study are as follows.
First, cognitive-behavioral art therapy is no significant statistical difference to reduce the adolsecent smoker's impulse of smoking.
Second, cognitive-behavioral art therapy is effective to reduce the adolsecent smoker's life stress.
Third, cognitive-behavioral art therapy is effective to reduce adolsecent smokers' quantity or amount of smoking.
Thus, it is inferable from the results described above that group art therapy applied to the no-smoking programs for adolescents turns out to be effective, and further studies on such programs are expected.
