Nurse-based motivational interviewing added to routine lifestyle feedback significantly increases smoking cessation rates in cardiovascular outpatients with a low time investment per quitter.
Bredie et al. (2010) conducted an RCT in Cardiovascular disease (current smokers) (n=112). Nurse Based Motivational Interviewing (NBMI) plus Lifestyle Inventory with Feedback (LIFE) vs. Care as usual (LIFE) was evaluated on Smoking abstinence rate (NNT 5.9, p=<0.017). Nurse Based Motivational Interviewing added to routine lifestyle feedback significantly increased the 3-month smoking abstinence rate compared to routine care alone (26% vs 7%, p<0.017).
