After 6 months 28,0% (7/25) of patients was still smoke free. CONCLUSION: • There is a strong need to smoking cessation interventions on respiratory wards. • Smoking cessation advice delivered by nurses seems to be effective. CHALLENGE: To implement a hospital-broad smoking cessation program that includes: • A guideline that can be used by nurses and other care providers. • Education of care providers among smoking cessation. • A nurse specialised in smoking cessation. • Follow-up and outcome measuring compared to a control group. BACKGROUND: Hospitalisation may enhance receptivity to smoking cessation messages due to increasing percieved vulnerability. Literature suggests that smoking cessation interventions delivered during hospitalisation, with follow-up support after discharge, increase smoking cessation. OBJECTIVES: • To explore smoking behaviour and the need of smoking cessation interventions in hospitalised respiratory patients. • To assess the efficacy of smoking cessation interventions during hospitalisation. METHODS: Structured interviews were taken during hospitalisation on three respiratory wards, and by phone six months after discharge. Smoking cessation advice was delivered by nurses specialised in smoking cessation. RESULTS: • 372 patients were interviewed: 54 patients (14,5%) were current smokers, 199 patients (53,5%) were former smokers and 119 patients (32,0%) never smoked.
