    General practice nurses often advise patients on smoking cessation but lack confidence and training. Enhancing their skills through targeted education is crucial for effective smoking cessation support in primary care.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Nursing Education
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Smoking cessation is a key public health goal.
    • Primary care nurses play a vital role in patient health education.
    • Limited data exists on current antismoking practices among general practice nurses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the current antismoking activities and educational needs of general practice nurses.
    • To understand nurses' perceptions of their role and confidence in smoking cessation interventions.
    • To identify priorities for training to improve nurses' effectiveness in smoking cessation support.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire survey was distributed to 369 general practice nurses.
    • The survey assessed the frequency of various antismoking activities and educational interventions.

  • Response rate was 80%, providing a robust dataset for analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Most nurses occasionally advised patients on smoking, but routine education was infrequent.
    • Few nurses referred patients to external agencies or utilized cessation aids/literature.
    • Nurses perceived their role as important but lacked confidence, attributing cessation success more to doctors and patient determination.

    Conclusions:

    • General practice nurses require enhanced training in smoking cessation education and counseling skills.
    • There is a significant interest among nurses (77%) in attending relevant seminars.
    • Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness of nurses as smoking educators in primary care settings.
