    9. Lewin’s Change Theory         Unfreezing Moving to Change Refreezing

    10. Unfreezing Involves letting go of old habits or patterns.

    11. Unfreezing Before any change can occur smokers need to recognize and accept the fact that a change needs to occur. The driving forces need to be far greater than the restraining forces. When the smoker has accepted a need to change then only can he/she begin to “unfreeze” the habit of smoking.

    12. Making the Change Involves altering an individuals thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. Smokers must remember it will not happen over night. A lot of patience is required. Keep a positive attitude. Many methods will be attempted: nicotine patch, nicotine gum, cold turkey and so forth before successfully finding a method that works.

    13. Making the Change Nurses can use the following methods to assist a smoker towards changing their habits Teaching Focus groups Advocating for a healthier lifestyle Getting parents involved Guest speakers Advocating for environmental changes Involving other health care professionals Prevention Empowerment

    14. Refreezing Is establishing the change as a new habit so that it now becomes the “standard” operating procedure. Without this stage it is easy to backslide into old ways.
