Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and smoking-related diseases are involved in more than one third of all hospital admissions. Smoking cessation has immediate and major health benefits for all individuals. Studies have demonstrated that a substantial reduction in mortality and morbidity can be achieved by abstinence from smoking. Interventions to reduce smoking must become a priority for health care providers, as physicians and nurses have the opportunity to interact with millions of smokers each year. The purpose of this article is to outline intervention strategies that nurses can use with smokers to encourage compliance with hospital smoking policies and to facilitate long-term abstinence from smoking.
吸烟是美国可预防死亡的首要原因，超过三分之一的住院病例都与吸烟相关疾病有关。戒烟对所有人都有直接且重大的健康益处。研究表明，戒烟可大幅降低死亡率和发病率。减少吸烟的干预措施必须成为医疗保健提供者的首要任务，因为医生和护士每年有机会与数百万吸烟者互动。本文的目的是概述护士可用于吸烟者的干预策略，以鼓励他们遵守医院吸烟政策并促进长期戒烟。
