      Introduction

      Since 2006, the treatment of smoking cessation was covered by the national health insurance in Japan. Standard procedures and engaged nurses for the treatment of smoking cessation started in the same year. This survey describes a smoking cessation-supportive program conducted by engaged nurses and aims to determine its current status, recognize its problems, and gauge its future direction.

      Methods

      The 6th edition of standard procedures and nurses’ engagement for the treatment of smoking cessation comprised of five visits and interventions of doctors and nurses and medications for 12 weeks. Nineteen patients were enrolled and reviewed in our hospital from August, 2018 to March, 2019.

      Results

      A total of 19 patients, including 17 males and 2 females, with a mean age of 65.8 years and a mean pack year of 56.4 were enrolled in this study. The median score of Tobacco Dependence Screener was 7.5, and major comorbidities were listed in the following order: hypertension, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and malignancy. The mean frequency of nurses’ interventions was 2.8, and 8 out of 19 patients accomplished smoking cessation. The frequency of nurses’ interventions corresponding to three times or more tended to be more successful in smoking cessations in the enrolled patients (87.5%, 7 of 8 patients).

      Conclusion

      Although the small sample size surveyed in a single institute is a major limitation, this is the first survey of smoking cessation-supportive program on nurses’ interventions at our hospital. Several problems, including the bias of standard procedures and a need for educational program for engaged nurses exists. Therefore, a greater number of patients and experiences are required for future studies.
