ABSTRACT
AIMS:
To describe the self-reported frequency of Chinese nurses' interventions to help smokers quit, using the 5 As (i.e. Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange), attitudes towards tobacco control and differences in consistency interventions by demographic and professional characteristics prior to an educational intervention to increase nurses' support for quit efforts.BACKGROUND:
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in China; quitting smoking reduces health risks and premature death. The China Tobacco Cessation Treatment Guideline supports the 5 As model for intervention, but nurses' frequency of delivering smoking cessation interventions is unknown.DESIGN:
Descriptive survey using a convenience sample.METHODS:
Nurses from eight hospitals in Beijing and Hefei, China completed a web-based survey in 2012. Differences in consistency of the 5 As by nurse characteristics were determined using multivariate logistic regression. Overall importance of nurses in tobacco control was evaluated on a 1-5 scale (5 = most important).RESULTS:
Nurses (N = 2440; 1404 Beijing, 1036 Hefei) participated. 64% consistently asked about smoking status, 85% advised patients to quit, 52% assessed readiness to quit and assisted with smoking cessation and 17% arranged for follow-up. Interventions varied by nurses' education and clinical setting. Nurses positively viewed involvement in tobacco control (4·3/5) and thought nurses should be smoke-free role models (4·8/5·0).CONCLUSIONS:
This study demonstrates that the majority of nurses asked about smoking status, but few assisted patients with quitting. Further efforts are needed to help nurses actively promote smoking cessation interventions.Palavras-chave
