The incidence of lung cancer in women has escalated during the last several decades. Lung cancer death rates in women also have risen and now exceed the number of deaths from breast cancer. Tobacco use accounts for more than 30% of all cancer deaths. Currently, 22 million adult women smoke, and more than 1.5 million adolescent females are smokers (American Cancer Society, 2000a). The use of tobacco by young female adolescents is on the rise, and those who are current smokers typically began smoking prior to high school graduation. Oncology nurses have an opportunity in inpatient and outpatient settings to impact the smoking habits of females, regardless of age. This article presents the guidelines for assisting women in smoking cessation. Clinical implications are presented that all oncology nurses should consider implementing in their practice setting.
在过去几十年中，女性肺癌的发病率不断上升。女性肺癌死亡率也有所上升，目前已超过乳腺癌的死亡人数。吸烟导致的死亡占所有癌症死亡人数的30%以上。目前，有2200万成年女性吸烟，超过150万青春期女性吸烟（美国癌症协会，2000a）。年轻女性青少年吸烟人数呈上升趋势，目前吸烟的人通常在高中毕业前就开始吸烟了。肿瘤学护士在住院和门诊环境中都有机会影响女性的吸烟习惯，无论其年龄大小。本文介绍了协助女性戒烟的指南。还介绍了所有肿瘤学护士在其执业环境中应考虑实施的临床意义。
