Abstract

This review examines the effectiveness of nursing interventions in helping adults quit smoking. Forty-two trials met the inclusion criteria, with interventions delivered by nurses to adult smokers in various healthcare settings. The analysis focused on nurse-provided advice, counseling, and strategies to support smoking cessation. The review found that nursing interventions can increase quit rates compared to usual care. Pooled data from studies showed a 28% increase in quit rates at follow-up for those receiving a nursing intervention. High-intensity interventions, involving more frequent contact and support from nurses, did not show a statistically significant advantage over low-intensity interventions. Interventions delivered as part of cardiac rehabilitation programs yielded the most promising results.

Keywords: smoking cessation, nursing interventions, adult smokers, quit rates.
