Attitudes, barriers and facilitators to smoking cessation among Central and Eastern European nurses: A focus group study

Smoking among nurses is a barrier to providing smoking cessation interventions to patients. In Central and Eastern Europe —where tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death and disease—there is limited knowledge about nurses' attitudes toward cessation interventions. Our aim was to describe the attitudes of nurses who are former and current smokers toward providing cessation interventions to patients as w ell as explore barriers and facilitators to their own quit efforts.
