Nurse-led Smoking Cessation With Further Follow-up in Lifestyle Centres - a Randomized Pilot Study

October 17, 2022 updated by: Vestre Viken Hospital Trust

Smoking Cessation After a Cardiovascular Disease Event With Hospital-based Nurse-coordination and Further Follow-up Care in Lifestyle Centres With Free Cessation Aids - an Interdisciplinary Randomized Pilot Study

The purpose of this randomized controlled pilot study is to test whether an in-hospital nurse-led smoking cessation intervention increases the refferal rate to healty life-centers in the municipalities. We will also describe the proportion who succeed in quitting smoking between the intervention group and the control group and obtain new knowledge about the patient and system factors of importance for participation to healty life-centers and for successful and unsuccessful smoking cessation.
