Programs of smoking cessation in the workplace are a useful tool in the fight against smoking.

Objective:

to evaluate the implementation of campaigns and anti-smoking consultations in workers of a hospital of III level.

Methodology:

a program with two phases was designed. The first consisted of conducting information campaigns. The second in a specialized treatment program, for 1 year, according to the profiles and needs of each worker. The analysis was performed using percentages, frequencies and χ2 test.

Results:

66 workers attended, 33 participated in the consultations. The mean age was 49.75 ± 8.5 years, 47 (71.2%) women and 19 (28.8%) men. The degree of dependence was moderate-high, with an average of 5.24 ± 1.85 points and a high motivation of 54%, with a mean of 6.7 ± 1.64. Compliance with treatment was 87.8%, with an abstinence rate of 48.48% per year.

Conclusions:

the results indicate that this type of program in the workplace can contribute to reducing smoking.
