“…This question has previously been used as a single-item measure of nicotine dependence (Baker, Piper, McCarthy, Bolt, Smith, & Kim, 2007). Also at each assessment, participants completed the readiness to quit ladder (Biener & Abrams, 1991; Burgess, van, Noorbaloochi, Clothier, Taylor, & Sherman, 2014; Sachs, Wild, Thomas, Hammal, & Finegan, 2012; Webb Hooper, Baker, & Robinson, 2014), from “I enjoy smoking so much that I will not consider quitting no matter what happens” to “I have already cut down and set a quit date.”…”

Two preliminary studies assessed whether telephone counseling (TC) is a feasible smoking cessation intervention following lung cancer screening. Seven older smokers undergoing lung cancer screening (pack years = 61.5) completed three TC sessions, which incorporated the screening result as motivation to quit. Participation (87.5%) and retention (85.7%) rates were good, and four smokers quit smoking (three of whom received abnormal results). We conducted four focus groups with 16 current and former older smokers (pack years = 55). Most believed that an abnormal scan would motivate them to quit and expressed interest in TC. TC may be feasible and potentially efficacious within lung screening programs.

“…Most studies ( n = 18) identified and enrolled smokers at preoperative evaluation or pre-admission clinics, including anaesthetic [ 12 , 19 , 23 – 25 , 36 ] and surgical clinics [ 10 , 15 , 18 , 26 – 33 , 35 ]. Eligible smokers were usually identified and recruited by dedicated research personnel.…”

Identifying and recruiting smokers for preoperative smoking cessation—a systematic review of methods reported in published studies

BackgroundSmoking cessation before surgery reduces postoperative complications, and the benefit is positively associated with the duration of being abstinent before a surgical procedure. A key issue in providing preoperative smoking cessation support is to identify people who smoke as early as possible before elective surgery. This review aims to summarise methods used to identify and recruit smokers awaiting elective surgery.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO, and references of relevant reviews (up to May 2014) to identify prospective studies that evaluated preoperative smoking cessation programmes. One reviewer extracted and a second reviewer checked data from the included studies. Data extracted from included studies were presented in tables and narratively described.ResultsWe included 32 relevant studies, including 18 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and 14 non-randomised studies (NRS). Smokers were recruited at preoperative clinics (n = 18), from surgery waiting lists (n = 6), or by general practitioners (n = 1), and the recruitment methods were not explicitly described in seven studies. Time points of preoperative recruitment of smokers was unclear in four studies, less than 4 weeks before surgery in 17 studies, and at least 4 weeks before surgery in only 11 studies. The recruitment rate tended to be lower in RCTs (median 58.2 %, range 9.1 to 90.9 %) than that in NRS (median 99.1 %, range 12.3 to 100 %) and lower in preoperative clinic-based RCTs (median 54.4 %, range 9.1 to 82.4 %) than that in waiting list-based RCTs (median 70.1 %, range 36.8 to 85.0 %). Smokers were recruited at least 4 weeks before surgery in four of the six waiting list-based studies and in only three of the 18 preoperative clinic-based studies.ConclusionsPublished studies often inadequately described the methods for recruiting smokers into preoperative smoking cessation programmes. Although smoking cessation at any time is beneficial, many programmes recruited smokers at times very close to scheduled surgery so that the benefit of preoperative smoking cessation may have not been fully effected. Optimal delivery of preoperative smoking cessation remains challenging, and further research is required to develop effective preoperative cessation programmes for smokers awaiting elective operations.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13643-015-0152-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
