NCT ID: NCT04502004 Recruiting - Smoking Cessation Clinical Trials

Smoking Cessation in Hospitalized Patients Using an App

NoFumo+
Start date: November 14, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study generates a new proposal for intensive intervention following the recommendations to quit smoking in hospitalized patients, providing intensive, accessible and individualized treatment, as well as long-term follow-up, thanks to new technologies. The main advantage that mhealth can bring to public health is cost-effectiveness, scalability and wide reach compared to traditional treatments. Rapid diffusion and remote outreach can impact traditional treatment programs, reduce waiting lists for tobacco visits, and increase quit rates, as well as reduce barriers to accessing smoking cessation programs, by location or time conflicts. Since the possibility of continuous face-to-face support is very limited, health interventions carried out through a smartphone can help avoid this situation. The study by Finkelstein and Me Cha (2016) justifies this line of intervention and solves the doubt about the feasibility of using the mobile phone to quit smoking in hospitalized patients, highlighting its usefulness for all patients regadless their age, gender, computer skills, income and educational level. -Can an App apply an intensive intervention to stop smoking in the hospitalized patient?

NCT ID: NCT01305928 Completed - Clinical trials for Hospitalized Smokers

Hospitalized Smokers

Start date: February 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Post-discharge support is a key component of effective treatment for hospitalized smokers, but very few hospitals provide it. Linking hospitalized smokers with free, proactive tobacco quitlines is an ideal way to provide supportive contact at discharge, because quitlines are effective and cost effective for smoking cessation. Many hospitals are beginning to fax-refer smokers to quitlines at discharge. Fax referral is convenient and is part of the current culture of medical communication channels. However, less than half of fax-referred smokers are successfully contacted and enrolled in quitline services. "Warm hand-off" is a novel approach to care transitions in which health care providers directly link patients that have substance abuse and mental health problems with specialists, using face-to-face or phone transfer. Warm hand-off achieves very high rates of treatment enrollment for these highly vulnerable groups.

NCT ID: NCT00222703 Completed - Clinical trials for Tobacco Use Disorder

Enhancing Tobacco Abstinence Following Hospitalization

Start date: May 2002
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of a 12-week nurse-delivered relapse management intervention designed with conceptual underpinnings from Self-efficacy Theory to enhance smoking abstinence of hospitalized smokers following their hospital discharge. Specifically this study asks, does a 12-week Self-efficacy Theory driven relapse management intervention enhance smoking abstinence following hospitalization by increasing smoking abstinence point prevalence as measured by carbon monoxide validated self-reports of smoking, when compared to subjects receiving only enhanced usual care?
