“…In the present study we estimate that the extra counselling time (patient identi cation, counselling during admission and more telephone contacts during follow-up) to be approximately 1-2 hours per patient. More time and resources for counselling in future studies and clinical praxis is most likely warranted, also since clinical studies show a positive relationship between number of counselling sessions and abstinence rate 18,19 . To achieve optimal effect, smoking cessation programmes should preferably include wide-ranging medical information, behavioral aspects, community-oriented methods and suitable pharmaco-therapeutic treatments 8,18,20 .…”

We compared the odds of smoking cessation at 2-months post-myocardial infarction (MI) before and after implementing routines, optimizing the use of evidence-based methods for smoking cessation, with start during admission. The following routines were implemented at six hospitals in Sweden: cardiac rehabilitation nurses offering smokers short consultation during admission, optimizing nicotine replacement therapy, increasing prescription of varenicline, and contacting patients by telephone during the 1st week post-discharge. Using logistic regression, odds for smoking cessation at 2-months post-MI before (n = 188) and after (n = 195) routine implementation were compared. Secondary outcomes included adherence to implemented routines. After implementation, a larger proportion of patients (65% vs 54%) were abstinent at 2-months (OR 1.60 [1.04–2.48], p = 0.034). Including only those counselled during admission, 74% were abstinent (OR 2.50 [1.42–4.41], p = 0.002). After implementation patients were more often counselled during admission (50% vs 6%, p < 0.001), prescribed varenicline (23% vs 7%, p < 0.001), and contacted by telephone post-discharge (18% vs 2%, p < 0.001). Being prescribed varenicline had the strongest association with smoking abstinence at 2-months (adjusted OR 4.09 [1.68-10.00], p = 0.002). In conclusion, readily available methods for aiding smoking cessation can be implemented effectively in routine practice, with beneficial effects on smoking cessation for the high-risk group of smoking MI patients.

“…In addition, to support a successful quit attempt, healthcare professionals should arrange follow-up contacts and relapse prevention strategies. This process is often called the "5 A's approach" to smoking cessation [17][18][19][20][21]. During the initiation/preparation phase, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that can be used as a short-term treatment for smoking cessation.…”

Smoking cessation is a critical public health issue. Smoking cessation techniques are essential in reducing the burden of tobacco-related diseases and deaths. Medical practitioners have the potential to assist patients in quitting smoking, but deficits exist in the amount and type of training received in smoking cessation counseling. Smoking cessation is not a single event but a process that involves a change in a person's lifestyle, values, social circles, thinking and feeling patterns, and coping skills. Overcoming the hurdles associated with smoking cessation can increase an individual's self-efficacy in their ability to succeed at their quit attempt, which in turn acts to reduce the likelihood of a relapse and increase the likelihood of long-term sustained smoking cessation. Innovative techniques of treatment are necessary to provide effective smoking cessation intervention, especially for difficult cases. The use of pharmacotherapy, including nicotine replacement therapy and other medications, is an effective smoking cessation technique. Behavioral therapy is also a useful approach, including motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and contingency management. The combination of pharmacotherapy and behavioral therapy can enhance the success rate of smoking cessation.

Exercising empathy: Pharmacists possess skills to increase coronavirus vaccine confidence

The coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines are the essential public health intervention to confer immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, while decreasing the risks of severe COVID-19 disease, hospitalizations, and death associated with natural infection. Public health experts agree that the public health interventions of social distancing and face coverings will only be able to successfully curtail the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States when combined with the highly effective COVID-19 vaccines. The risk for severe COVID-19 is higher in Americans with highly prevalent metabolic and cardiovascular chronic conditions as well as vulnerable demographics, such as minorities and pregnant women. Unfortunately, experience with past unethical health practices can influence current vaccine confidence in people of color and women of childbearing age. Pharmacists are well-positioned in myriad health care settings across the nation to listen to these concerns and have the conversations necessary to increase vaccine confidence. Similar to effective roles that pharmacists have had in other health prevention efforts such as smoking cessation, pharmacists possess the motivational interviewing skills to guide patients from the "precontemplation" to the "action" stages of health behavior change. This nonjudgmental, mutual understanding will help identify the individual factors influencing vaccine decision-making and bring us closer to achieving "community immunity."Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of the American Pharmacists Association.
