Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a stage-matched intervention performed at outpatient clinics. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG) or usual care group (UCG). The trial was targeted on smoking patients with coronary heart disease or diabetes. After completing the 3-month intervention, both groups received a telephone follow-up at 6 months. This analysis showed that the outcomes of the IG for the 7-day point prevalence (PP) of abstinence (odds ratio [OR] = 2.00; p = .001) and 30-day PP (OR = 2.27; p = .004) at 6 months were significantly better than the UCG. Stage of change (OR = 4.06; p 〈 .001) and decreased daily cigarette consumption by 50% at 6 months (OR = 2.26; p = .019) outcomes also improved significantly. The preliminary results showed that a nurse-led cessation intervention in clinics may be an effective approach to help outpatients quit smoking.
