INPATIENT SMOKING CESSATION

Julie Hartzell, MSW, LCSW, UNC Tobacco Treatment Program

Hospitalizations are stressful, and nicotine withdrawal symptoms can negatively impact a person's experience. Nevertheless, hospitalizations present a unique opportunity for patients to examine their tobacco use and the implications it has on their health.

Learning Objectives:

1. Increase your confidence in assessing for tobacco use and nicotine withdrawal
2. Practice motivational interviewing and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) to help patients become tobacco-free
3. Understand medications and resources to best support patients during admission and after discharge
