Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy of staged nursing intervention on smoking behavior in young male adult patients with first attack of stroke.Methods 89 patients were randomly assigned to the intervention group (46 cases) and the control group (43 cases).In the intervention group,the patients were given staged nursing intervention based on their psychological stages in hospital and 11-week followup.The outcome of smoking cessation was evaluated three months after discharge.Results The rate of smoking cessation in the intervention group was higher than that of the control group.Smoking abstinence for the intervention group was more than the control group.FTND (Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence) scores were significantly different between two groups.Conclusions The staged nursing intervention is feasible for young male adults with stroke.We should increase secondary prevention consciousness and strengthen the implementation of relevant countermeasures.
