Study of Psychopathological Characteristics of Patient Smoking in Thoracic Oncology

Completed
Conditions
Smoking Cessation and Lung Cancer
Interventions
Behavioral: Research interviews
Behavioral: Tests (Fagerström, Q-MAT, H.A.D.S, SCL 90-R)

Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
Brief Summary

Persistent smoking after lung cancer has been the subject of medical, therapeutic and epidemiological publications for twenty years of research. Continued persistent smoking is all the more a problem for oncologists as there is evidence that smoking cessation, with lung cancer, gives therapeutic benefit. Quitting smoking can improve the response to treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery), quality of life and overall survival. However many patients refuse adhesion to tobacco cessation. Daily practice leads us to the hypothesis that adhesion differences aren't related to the denial of medical information, nor to resignation or to nicotine dependence. Patients who continue smoking seem to face a form of impossibility to wean. Cigarette seems to be felt as a part of their body in their narration and description of their body image.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Composite indicator variable indicating the presence or absence of disturbance in one or more of the parameters evaluated: object relations, body, subject's choice.4 months after inclusion

The results will be obtained:

* From the results of each test, each has indeed a standardized rating scale

* By analysing the content of the speech of the patient previously noted during the various interviews The investigator will classify each subject in "disturbance" or not for each of the three parameters. The presence of at least one disturbance gives the "yes" value in the indicator variable, "no" in the absence of the three disturbances.
