ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To examine the extent to which smokers express negative statements about quitting and the extent to which these statements influence general practitioners' (GPs') and practice nurses' (PNs') (dis)continuation of guideline-recommended smoking cessation care.METHODS:
Fifty-two video-consultations were observed (GP-consultations 2007-2008; PN-consultations 2010-2011). Dialogues were transcribed verbatim and professionals' and patients' speech units were coded and analysed using sequential analyses (n=1424 speech units).RESULTS:
GPs focused on asking about smoking (GPs 42.4% versus PNs 26.2%, p=0.011) and advising them to quit (GPs 15.3% versus PNs 3.5%, p<0.001), whereas PNs focused on assisting them with quitting (GPs 25.4% versus PNs 55.2%, p<0.001). Overall, patients expressed more negative statements about quitting than positive statements (negative 25.3% versus positive 11.9%, p<0.001), especially when PNs assessed their willingness to quit (OR 3.61, 95% CI 1.44-9.01) or assisted them with quitting (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.43-3.48). PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS An alternative approach to smoking cessation care is proposed in which GPs' tasks are limited to asking, advising, and arranging follow-up. This approach seems the least likely to evoke negative statements of patients about quitting during dialogues with GPs and is compatible with the tasks and skills of PNs who could, subsequently, assist smokers with quitting.Palavras-chave
