Feasibility Study of Smoking Cessation for the Staff of a Hospital Center Through a Treatment Proposal Combining Nicotine Substitutes, Psychological Support, Nutritional Assistance and Hypnosis.

The recorded prevalence of daily smoking among health professionals (doctors, nurses, midwives, etc.), regardless of their mode of practice (salaried or self-employed, etc.) varies between 14 and 23%. In health care institutions, according to the studies, the prevalence of daily smoking among staff, caregivers and non-caregivers ranges from 17% to 27%. These professionals who continue to smoke, although they are particularly well informed about the risks they run, probably constitute a group with specific withdrawal difficulties. Beyond the impact on their own health, the smoking status of caregivers could also have an impact on the management of tobacco patients. There are very few studies of the impact of interventions on the smoking status of caregivers in health care facilities. The combination of several intervention modalities can facilitate the participation of target professionals and generate efficiency synergies.
