Presentation Transcript

  1. This new service is: • Free • Confidential • One to one counselling provided by a PHN • Personalized

  2. Our Practice • Initial meeting: approx. 45 min long Client’s smoking history, mental and physical history are discussed. Depending on the client’s readiness, the PHN would explore the development of a quit plan with client.

  3. Our Practice • Follow-up Meetings Approx. 30 min. An opportunity to follow-up on quit plan, work with client to explore new coping strategies, discuss environment, behaviour and the option of NRT.

  4. Pharmacological Interventions for Pregnant Smokers • Behavioural therapy should be encouraged before pharmacological intervention. • NRT can be used with women who are unable to quit during pregnancy, under the supervision of their primary health care provider. • Breastfeeding while using NRT provides the same level-or less-of nicotine to the infant, without the other chemicals in smoke. (Dragonetti, R. Selby, P. 2007)

  5. Pregnant Women • Between 50% and 60% of women who quit during pregnancy relapse to smoking within 6 months postpartum. (Dragonetti,R., Selby, P., 2007) • Approach needs to be women centered • Focus on individual’s support system (her partner and other family members who smoke)

  6. Working together… • Can refer clients by calling the Health Unit at 743-1000 ext. 330 • Fax referral option (available as a pdf on our website) • Self referral • “Pragmatic Strategies to Help Pregnant Smokers Quit” Peter Selby and Rosa Dragonetti available on the internet at: www.smokingcessationrounds.ca
