Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Nursing Practice
  • Clinical Intervention

Background:

  • Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable deaths in the U.S., responsible for nearly 30% of cancer deaths.
  • Smoking prevalence is stagnant in adults and increasing in adolescents, with 25% of Americans smoking.
  • Preventable deaths and cancer incidence highlight the urgent need for effective smoking cessation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an intensive nurse practitioner (NP)-managed smoking cessation clinic.
  • To detail its evolution from a primary care quality management initiative.
  • To present a replicable model for smoking cessation interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review, including published articles, abstracts, and books.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of clinical experience and available data.
  • Development of an NP-managed clinic based on established guidelines.

    • Main Results:

    • The clinic provided effective smoking cessation interventions.
    • The model is replicable by experienced nurses with a smoking cessation background.
    • Brief counseling and minimum interventions are opportunities for all nurses.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses can effectively manage intensive smoking cessation clinics, integrating with interdisciplinary teams.
    • High cessation rates were achieved by combining intensive behavioral sessions with pharmacologic approaches.
    • This nursing-led model can be replicated in diverse healthcare settings, promoting further research.
