The Partial Hospitalization Unit of Psychiatry (PHUP) of Mollet Hospital is aligned with the program of smoking cessation offered by the hospital for all those who are admitted. This implies the economic subsidy for Nicotine Substitution Treatments (NST) for all smokers admitted in this unit. The smoking cessation treatment includes a nurse specialist intervention of the PHUP through individualized follow-up, and a health group in which smoking is also a considered issue.

The aim of this study is to assess the evolution, after one year, of smokers who have been admitted in PHUP. The group is composed both by patients who have accepted NST and those who have not. That is to say, all of them have being attended the health workshop.

The methodology used is the data statistical analysis obtained through telephone monitoring of smokers admitted during 2016.

The results obtained from a sample of 135 people included in the study are: 52.5% non-smokers vs. 47.5% smokers, from whom 66% did treatment with NST and individualized follow-up.

After 1 year follow up, a new check have been made with the smokers, obtaining the following results: 31.9% continued smoking, 12.6% were missed and 3% stopped smoking.

In conclusion, the results are similar to other studies in smoking population, either suffering mental health disease or not.
