“…Although nurses, allied healthcare staff and medical staff were encouraged to offer brief interventions and refer patients to the service, in addition to self-promotion by the service team, many barriers to efficacy existed (Jones and Hamilton, 2011). A number of reasons have been suggested for hesitation on the part of oncology nursing staff in addressing the topic of smoking with smokers; ranging from their own personal smoking habits, to feeling ill-equipped to offer stop smoking advice, to a gap between their understanding of the negative impact of smoking on health and acceptance of their responsibility to raise the issue of smoking with a smoker (McCarty et al, 2001;Lally et al, 2008). According to Lally et al (2008) the nurses own smoking behaviour can act as a deterrent, with smokers less likely to promote smoking cessation to their patients (McKenna et al, 2001).…”

Indeed the nurse referred to as seen smoking by one of the participants sends a potent message of support for smoking.…”

“…The review highlighted that interventions delivered and supported by nurses, especially in hospital, increased a smoker's success in quitting. There is however some evidence to show that there is reluctance on the part of nurses to introduce the subject of smoking cessation to patients who smoke (Lally et al, 2008). Another Cochrane review, Interventions for smoking cessation in hospitalised patients (Rigotti et al, 2009), concluded that there was insufficient evidence to recommend any one particular hospital-initiated intervention.…”

“…14 Our study showed that nurses’ perceptions toward tobacco intervention were highly dependent on the health and prognosis of cancer patients and whether their cancer was tobacco-related. The Japanese nurses showed less willingness to provide tobacco intervention for cancer patients with a poor prognosis.…”

BackgroundWe investigated the perceptions and practices regarding tobacco intervention among nurses, as improvement of such practices is important for the management of patients who smoke.MethodsSelf-administered questionnaires were delivered by hospital administrative sections for nursing staff to 2676 nurses who were working in 3 cancer hospitals and 3 general hospitals. Of these, 2215 (82.8%) responded.ResultsMost nurses strongly agreed that cancer patients who had preoperative or early-clinical-stage cancer but continued to smoke should be offered a tobacco use intervention. In contrast, they felt less need to provide tobacco use intervention to patients with incurable cancer who smoked. Most nurses felt that although they assessed and documented the tobacco status of cancer patients, they were not successful in providing cessation advice, assessing patient readiness to quit, and providing individualized information on the harmful effects of tobacco use. In multivariate analysis, nurses who received instruction on smoking cessation programs during nursing school were more likely to give cessation advice (odds ratio, 1.61; 95% confidence interval, 1.15–2.26), assess readiness to quit (1.73, 1.09–2.75), and offer individualized explanations of the harmful effects of tobacco (1.94, 1.39–2.69), as compared with nurses who had not received such instruction.ConclusionsThe perceptions of Japanese nurses regarding tobacco intervention for cancer patients differed greatly by patient treatment status and prognosis. The findings highlight the importance of offering appropriate instruction on smoking cessation to students in nursing schools in Japan.

“…There are a number of public health initiatives which community nurses could get involved in and yet it appears there is a reluctance to tackle some of the fundamental areas which need to be discussed with patients e.g. smoking cessation and strategies to increase physical activity for the prevention of falls [42,43]. This seems to be an important gap in community nursing practice.…”

The aim of this narrative review is to identify strategies in use by specialist community and public health nurses in the prevention, care and management of individuals with long-term conditions, specifically chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and musculoskeletal disorders. These conditions have been selected as they are highly prevalent; a burden on health services globally and a major public health issue. From a UK policy perspective, specialist community nurses have been placed at the forefront of taking a lead role in the coordination and delivery of more responsive services for individuals with long-term conditions; whether this has been an effective use of skills and resource is questionable. We systematically searched relevant databases between 1999–2009 to identify interventions used by specialist community nurses and critically appraised the studies. This review reports on impact and value of interventions used by specialist community nurses in the prevention and management of COPD and musculoskeletal conditions, and makes recommendations for improving services.
