  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Healthcare professionals routinely advise patients on smoking cessation.
  • Advice can range from brief interventions to more intensive programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions delivered by nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials identified through the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group register and CINAHL.
  • Included studies involved nurses or health visitors with a minimum follow-up of 6 months.
  • Data extraction was performed independently by two authors.

Main Results:

  • Fifteen studies showed nursing interventions significantly increased smoking cessation odds (Peto Odds Ratio 1.43, 95% CI 1.24-1.66).
