Attitudes towards patients with cancer who smoke
Abstract:
This article describes the findings of a mixed-methods study exploring healthcare professionals' attitudes towards patients with cancer who smoke, and how this impacts on the health promotion advice that they provide. Findings revealed that staff are aware of the effects of smoking on a patient's cancer treatments, however the number of staff that address smoking cessation with patients is variable. Staff also reported particular concerns about addressing smoking cessation with palliative patients.
