Nursing interventions for smoking cessation

Healthy living interventions and schizophrenia: a systematic review

“…The evidence base for the efficacy of healthy living interventions was strongest in relation to smoking cessation, both in terms of the number and methodological quality of studies. This finding is consistent with research conducted with smokers in the general population that has shown smoking cessation intervention to be an effective (Rice & Stead 2004). The studies reviewed suggested that smoking cessation groups with the prescription of adjunctive nicotine replacement or bupropion therapy are moderately successful in helping adults with schizophrenia or schizo‐affective disorder to reduce their cigarette consumption in the short term, but that relapse rates for smoking are high after 6 months.…”

Feasibility and effectiveness of nurse-delivered smoking cessation counselling combined with nicotine replacement in Australian general practice

“…Smoking rates are lower in Australia so the context is different, but this study suggests that a primary care‐based PN‐led model may be as effective in the Australian context as the English services have been in the context of the British health system and population. The quit rates reported also compare favourably with the outcomes of physician advice and nurse advice reported in Cochrane reviews with the important proviso that those are meta‐analyses of controlled trials [23,24]. Our positive findings in this uncontrolled study contrast with the lack of effect found in some randomised trials.…”

Jordanian nurses’ perception and interventions related to promoting smoking cessation

“…Moreover, the results of the review conducted by Rigotti, Clair, Munafò, and Stead () and Rice et al. () support the scepticism indicated by the participants in this study regarding the effectiveness of their opportunistic and short interventions. They indicated that interventions should start during hospitalisation and continue for at least 1 month after discharge for follow‐up purposes.…”
