Evaluation of Patients in a Smoking Cessation Support Group Using the Nursing Outcomes Classification.

PURPOSE: To evaluate patients in a smoking cessation support group using the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC).

METHODS: Prospective observational cohort study conducted with 21 patients participating in a smoking cessation support group. Data were collected using an instrument consisting of 2 NOC outcomes and 20 indicators, applied during each of the six support group meetings.

FINDINGS: The two NOC outcomes, Smoking Cessation Behavior (1625) and Substance Withdrawal Severity (2108), showed statistically significant differences over time in many of their indicators.

CONCLUSIONS: The NOC outcomes demonstrated the clinical evolution and behavioral improvement of patients during the smoking cessation process.

IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The findings highlight important elements of the evaluation of behavioral change and severity of withdrawal symptoms.
