“…These studies have included working with primary care providers, who inarguably have high rates of access to smokers (Pleis, Ward, & Lucas, 2010). While the delivery of cessation services, for example, brief advice, by physicians has shown some promise (Stead et al, 2013), the delivery of these services has been inconsistent due to a number of barriers including lack of confidence to counsel cessation and inadequate time, resources, and skills (Blumenthal, 2007;Cabana et al, 1999;Garg et al, 2007). Since the health care setting represents a prominent point of health care contact for so many smokers, identifying strategies that are more clinically feasible is critical.…”

“…However some quotes suggest that the advice given by practice nurses is not tailored or personal enough, which may have contributed to participants' views about the lack of support they received from health professionals. Although there is no specific stop smoking guidance for smokers with chronic illnesses, a recent review (Stead, Berguson, & Lancaster, 2008) has highlighted the benefit of advice given by the GP and an intervention such as this could be efficiently and cost effectively incorporated into GPs standard treatment.…”

Introduction: Smokers with respiratory diseases are less likely to quit than those without impaired lung function, yet few studies have investigated the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions with this population, and none have used a computer-tailored approach.Aims: This paper aims to fill this gap in the literature by exploring smokers' experiences when trying to quit and their perceptions of a computer-tailored intervention.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 smokers recruited from six GP practices in North London. Thematic analysis was conducted to examine participants' previous experiences of quitting and their perceptions of receiving personal tailored feedback reports to aid smoking cessation.Results: Participants discussed how their positive smoking experiences coupled with their negative cessation experiences led to conflicts with quitting smoking. Although the computer-tailored intervention was key in prompting quit attempts and participants valued its personal approach; it was not sufficient as a stand-alone intervention. Conclusion:The results highlight the difficulties that smokers experience when quitting and the need for a more personalised stop smoking service in smokers with respiratory diseases.The study also demonstrates the application and potential for computer tailored intervention as part of a wider programme of long-term smoking cessation.Difficulties quitting with a respiratory disease

“…15 of them responded by participating in the camp. Community workers such as primary care health workers attached to health centres It was also reported that simple advice on the part of a medical professional has the potential to increase the quit rate by 2-3% (Stead et al, 2008). Political leader at the decentralised level of the administrative system was invited to inaugurate the programme at each cluster and to seek his/her assistance for implementation of succeeding intervention programmes.…”

Background: To illustrate multiple approaches and to assess participation rates adopted for a community based smoking cessation intervention programme in rural Kerala. Materials and Methods: Resident males in the age group 18-60 years who were 'current daily smokers' from 4 randomly allocated community development blocks of rural Thiruvananthapuram district, Kerala (2 intervention and 2 control groups) were selected. Smoking status was assessed through house-to-house survey using trained volunteers. Multiple approaches included awareness on tobacco hazards during baseline survey and distribution of multicolour anti-tobacco leaflets for intervention and control groups. Further, the intervention group received a tobacco cessation booklet and four sessions of counselling which included a one-time group counselling cum medical camp, followed by proactive counselling through face-to-face (FTF) interview and mobile phone. In the second and fourth session, motivational counselling was conducted. Results: Among 928 smokers identified, smokers in intervention and control groups numbered 474 (mean age: 44.6 years, SD: 9.66 years) and 454 respectively (44.5 years, SD: 10.30 years). Among the 474 subjects, 75 (16%) had attended the group counselling cum medical camp after completion of baseline survey in the intervention group, Among the remaining subjects (n=399), 88% were contacted through FTF and mobile phone (8.5%). In the second session (4-6 weeks time period), the response rate for individual counselling was 94% (78% through FTF and 16% through mobile phone). At 3 months, 70.4% were contacted by their mobile phone and further, 19.6% through FTF (total 90%) while at 6 months (fourth session), the response rate was 74% and 16.4% for FTF and mobile phone respectively, covering 90.4% of the total subjects. Overall, in the intervention group, 97.4% of subjects were being contacted at least once and individual counselling given. Conclusion: Proactive community centred intervention programmes using multiple approaches were found to be successful to increase the participation rate for intervention.
