A mixed methods study exploring barriers and facilitators to secondary-care nurses discussing smoking cessation with patients: phase 1 of the Think Quit Study
Nurses recognise the importance of their role to discuss smoking but have limited knowledge of local smoking cessation services and experience barriers in their workspace. Reducing barriers to discussing smoking and referring patients will facilitate nurses to support their patients to achieve the best health outcomes through quitting smoking.
