iniciatives preventives
catalan network of smoke-free hospitals

The Institut Català d'Oncologia carried out, during the period 2002-2003, the pilot phase of two preventive initiatives:

A program of Mentoring to help the personnel of the nurse service stop smoking.

By means of a system of seminars six months long, non-smoker nurses support smokers in their intents to abandon the habit. The results of this program after the 6 months of treatment show that 31.25% of the people that have carried out this program have remained abstinent.
At present, all the ICO personnel who want to stop smoking can register in this program either phoning 93 260 77 88 (ext: 3206) or sending a mail to the following direction (program).



A monthly Workshop of Information and Motivation directed to users and smoker patients.

The objective is that those who attend the Workshop develop from the contemplative phase to the phase of preparations to stop smoking. At present this activity is regularly incorporated to the ICO’s Services Pack. The people interested can register phoning: 93 260 77 80.
