Psychiatric patients preferred nicotine inhalers over patches during hospitalization. This finding suggests tailored nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) may improve smoking cessation support for this population.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Addiction Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Individuals with psychiatric illnesses exhibit higher smoking rates and greater difficulty quitting compared to the general population.
  • Smoking cessation is a critical yet challenging aspect of mental healthcare, impacting patient outcomes and recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utilization patterns of various nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) among psychiatric patients admitted to a smoke-free psychiatric unit.
  • To compare the effectiveness and patient preference for different NRT methods in this specific demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A naturalistic retrospective review of medical records for 55 hospitalized psychiatric patients.
  • Analysis of NRT utilization rates, calculated as the ratio of days used to days prescribed for each patient.

  • Data collection focused on transdermal patches, inhalers, gum, and nasal spray.

    • Main Results:

    • The nicotine inhaler demonstrated the highest utilization rate (63%), significantly exceeding the transdermal patch (30%).
    • Patient preference leaned towards the nicotine inhaler, with 47% using it compared to 69% using the patch.
    • Nicotine gum and nasal spray showed considerably lower utilization rates (7% and 4%, respectively).

    Conclusions:

    • Psychiatric patients in smoke-free units show a clear preference for nicotine inhalers over transdermal patches.
    • Findings suggest that NRT choice may influence adherence and potentially support smoking cessation efforts in this vulnerable population.
    • Further research into the clinical and pathophysiological implications of NRT preference is warranted for optimizing treatment strategies.
