Cardiac nurses can help with smoking cessation
Coronary heart disease patients who had individual contact with nurses on smoking cessation were more likely to have stopped smoking after one year. Quist-Paulsen and Gallefoss (p 1254) randomised 240 patients admitted to hospital for coronary heart disease to a nurse led programme or usual care. The programme was focused on fear arousal and prevention of relapses and consisted of group sessions, one outpatient clinic, and telephone contact. The nursing time commitment for each patient was 2.4 hours.
