| Abstrakt: | Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention of the community pharmacist in a smoking-cessation program. Design: A descriptive prospective study. Setting: Two pharmacies of the Community of Madrid. Participants: 77 patients who wanted to participate in the smoking-cessation program. The middle age of the participants were 41.6 +/- 10.8; 51.9% were male and 42.8% female. Measurements and Main Results: The quit rates of the smoking-cessation program were: 1st. month 80.5%; 3rd. month 54.5%; 6th month 45.5% and 1st. year 42.8%. The patient who use the nicotine treatment at least two months, have more probability to quit smoking successfully (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The community pharmacy could be a good place to help people to give up smoking. Results of this study show that pharmacists who counsel patients in an intensive smoking-cessation program can improve outcomes. |
