Abstract

Objective: to identify the perception of psychiatric patients who are smokers about the difficulties faced when trying to quit smoking, as well as their opinion about the role of nurses in this process. Method: An exploratory study was carried out with 96 psychiatric patients hospitalized in a psychiatric ward. All patients answered an individual interview with open questions. Thematic content analysis was applied. Results: among the difficulties encountered, the lack of support and coercive attitudes of professionals, resistance to seek help (sign of weakness), contact with smoking professionals and family member and limitations of programs against tobacco use (lack of information, delayed initiation of treatment, lack of specific drugs) stand out. Conclusion: through comprehensive and humanizing attitudes, nurses are fundamental to welcome and encourage psychiatric patients to control the use of tobacco.
