| description | <strong>Foundation:</strong> cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide. Tobacco consumption constitutes a relevant risk factor. There are numerous therapeutic proposals from different health disciplines with the aim of facilitating the transition from habitual consumption to quitting tobacco. <strong><br />Objective:</strong> to compare the effectiveness of interventions to reduce smoking in Ecuadorian patients with cardiovascular diseases treated at a hospital in Quito, Ecuador. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> a quasi-experimental study was carried out, before-after without a control group. The study population was made up of 135 patients from a hospital in Quito, Ecuador, with cardiovascular diseases. The effectiveness of three interventions was evaluated: cognitive behavioral therapy, medication therapy, and support programs. Cochran's Q test was used with SPSS software.<br /> <strong>Results:</strong> cognitive-behavioral therapy was rated as effective by 71.1 % of patients, support programs were considered ineffective in 57.8 %. A Cochran's Q statistic equal to 21.733 (p < 0.001) was obtained, which represented a significant difference between the efficacies of the interventions. <br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> there were substantial differences between the efficacies of the interventions to reduce smoking. Cognitive behavioral therapy was rated as the most effective. |
