Uma estratégia multiprofissional e interdisciplinar para o cessamento do tabagismo

Abstract

Smoking is a major public health problem characteristic of the human species. Adverse effects of smoking begin before birth and continue throughout life, and they interfere with the overall health of the individual. Therefore, this study aimed to create and run an intervention proposal to assist the tobacco cessing. For this, we used a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary strategy for smoking cessing. In implementing the proposal, patients had the degree of addiction to nicotine evaluated and followed for pscicologo, physical educator, nutritional and medical. The intervention plan lasted for three months and at the end of that period, of the 15 patients who initiated the proposal, only 5 had not quit smoking. This demonstrates that the use of a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary strategy for the cessing of smoking appears to be effective, so an action that incorporates a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach is the most efficient in fighting tobacco.
