Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of health care in controlling smoking and to analyze the influence of psychological symptoms associated with this process. Methods: Multiprofessional health care, through harm reduction such as individual care, group therapy and medication availability. Thirty smokers were monitored for 60 days and the proposal's effectiveness was analyzed using the Fagerström test. The influence of psychological symptoms was investigated through the EADS-21 questionnaire. Results: Users had a high or very high dependence at the beginning of treatment (73.3%). The assistance provided proved to be effective, as 50% of patients discontinued smoking. Pharmacotherapy was considered the most effective therapeutic measure by users, which underscores the importance of pharmaceutical care and pharmacotherapeutic monitoring. Smoking control resulted in an improvement in the psychological health of users, with a decrease in anxiety, depression and stress symptoms. Conclusion: The assistance offered to smokers was effective, significantly helping to control smoking and contributing to a decrease in risks related to the onset of physical and mental comorbidities due to tobacco use.
