p-value: p=0.038
A nurse-managed cognitive behavioral intervention delayed the resumption of smoking in women hospitalized with CVD, although long-term point prevalence of nonsmoking was similar to usual care.
Froelicher et al. (2004) conducted an RCT in Cardiovascular disease (n=277). Cognitive behavioral relapse-prevention intervention vs. Usual care (physician's advice, self-help pamphlet, and community resources) was evaluated on Time to resumption of continuous smoking (p=0.038). A cognitive behavioral relapse-prevention intervention significantly increased the time smoke-free compared to usual care in women hospitalized with cardiovascular disease (P=0.038).
