Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Nicotine contained in tobacco is highly addictive and tobacco use is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Every year, more than 8 million people die from tobacco use.

Smoking-related mortality is significantly higher in people with serious mental illness. Is estimated that half of all deaths among individuals with mental illnesses are attributable to tobacco use. People with serious mental illness have greater daily tobacco consumption, nicotine dependence, and smoking relapse. While significant progress has been made in reducing tobacco use within the general population, rates of tobacco use remain high among individuals with mental illness. Smoking cessation often requires numerous attempts by these people. Thus, smokers with mental health illnesses may find it more difficult to quit, although highly motivated to quit.

Smoking cessation during hospitalization (total or partial) is cost-effective, as it reduces hospital readmissions, and mortality, and improves smokers' quality of life. Available quitting aids are both safe and effective in supporting cessation in tobacco users with mental illness and stopping smoking is associated with an improvement in mental health.

The investigators aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of adding an intensive smoking intervention to the usual treatment for patients with psychiatric disorders attending a day hospital of a tertiary hospital.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will perform a quasi-experimental, longitudinal, and prospective study in the mental health day hospital of the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona.

Adults attending the day hospital and willing to participate, under informed consent, will be invited to participate. Consecutive eligible individuals will be recruited and will be assigned to two groups, the control group, and the experimental group. Initially, patients will be recruited for the control group, once the control group is completed the experimental group will begin.

An assessment will be conducted at baseline (admission) and in the discharge. Sociodemographic and clinical data will be obtained.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental: Intervention Group

Participants in the intervention group will receive an intensive motivational intervention with individual and group treatment for smoking cessation. The treatment, provided by trained professionals, will include psychological, psycho-educational support and pharmacological treatment advice.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Smoking cessation program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive intensive treatment for smoking cessation during day hospital admission.

The intervention is carried out individually and in an open-ended group. The treatment, provided by trained and multidisciplinary professionals (nursing, psychiatry, psychologist, occupational therapist, social work), includes psychological, psycho-educational support, and pharmacological treatment advice.

The group intervention takes place once a week and is divided into six structured sessions that are repeated. Sessions include nicotine addiction and withdrawal, health consequences, benefits of quitting, motivation for change, triggers, coping responses, social support, decision making, pharmacological treatment advice and healthy lifestyle habits.

Placebo Comparator: Brief Counselling

Participants in the placebo group will receive a brief intervention for smoking cessation.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo Comparator: Brief Counselling

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive brief counseling on smoking cessation during their hospital stay. This brief intervention is based on motivational techniques to increase motivation to reduce tobacco use or to initiate treatment.
