The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of smoking cessation outcomes and reasons for relapse following smoking cessation treatment. Using a mixed-method design, 179 patients were recruited from the Smoking Cessation outpatient clinic of Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital between May 2016 and May 2017. Quantitative data were collected via questionnaires or from patient files and qualitative data were obtained via 5 focus group interviews with 28 patients who relapsed to smoking following treatment. The success rate of the smoking cessation clinic at the end of one year was 26%. The number of applications to the clinic was significantly higher in the group who quit smoking. Treatment success was found to be higher in the group that applied behavioral recommendations. In focus group interviews with patients who relapsed, the most common causes were stressful events, especially workplace problems and serious health problems experienced by relatives. The presence of smokers in the immediate vicinity increased the risk of relapse. It was concluded that not stopping treatment before the recommended period, continuity in follow-up appointments, support of the environment, support of pharmacotherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and improving patients' coping skills were important.
