Implementation of Smoking Cessation Support During Lung Cancer Workup

The aim of the present project is to implement smoking cessation support in hospital-based lung cancer workup. The effect on 1) patients' smoking cessation attempts, motivation, quality of life and psychosocial consequences of lung cancer workup as well as 2) hospitals' number of referrals to municipality-based smoking cessation programmes will be evaluated in a pragmatic, cluster-randomised controlled setup, where participating hospitals will be assigned to the intervention arm (implementation of smoking cessation support) or the control arm (usual practice). Patients' and healthcare professionals' experiences with and barriers towards smoking cessation support will be explored in an interview-based, qualitative study.

Treatment and study plan

Smoking Cessation Support

Behavioral

Training healthcare professionals to deliver smoking cessation support as part of hospital-based lung cancer workup.

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients making an attempt at smoking cessation during lung cancer workup

    Time frame: 6 weeks after baseline

    Binary outcome (Attempt: yes, no)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Motivation to quit smoking

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months after baseline

    Numeric rating scale (0-10) with higher score indicating stronger motivation

  2. Proportion of patients who are not smoking at the time of measurement

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months after baseline

    Binary outcome (Currently smoking: yes, no)

  3. Quality of life as measured by the 36 item Short Form Survey (SF-36)

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months after baseline

    SF-36, two components: Mental and Physical. Each components scale has a total score range from 5 (worst health) to 80 (best health)

  4. Psychosocial consequences of lung cancer workup

    Time frame: 6 weeks after baseline

    Consequences of Screening - Lung Cancer Questionnaire (adapted to the lung cancer workup setting). Items in Part 1 of the questionnaire focuses on experiences during the cancer workup with a total score range from 0 (low level of psychosocial consequences) to 72 (high level of psychosocial consequences). Items in Part 2 of the questionnaire focuses on experiences after the cancer workup with a total score range from 0 (low level of psychosocial consequences) to 22 (high level of psychosocial consequences).

  5. Hospitals' number of referrals to municipality-based smoking cessation programmes
