#Psychiatric patients given smoking-cessation treatment less likely to be participated rehospitalizedpatients who in a smoking-cessation program during hospitalization for mental illness were able to quit smoking
and were less likely to be hospitalized again for their psychiatric conditions according to a new study led by a Stanford university School of medicine scientist.
The findings counter a longstanding assumption held by many mental-health experts that smoking serves as a useful tool in treating some psychiatric patients.
The result is that psychiatric patients are among the country's most prolific smokers and among those most likely to die of smoking-related ailments Prochaska said.
Nearly half of the cigarettes sold in the United states are to people with psychiatric or addictive disorders according to data from the U s. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
She said the study done in collaboration with researchers at UC-San francisco is the first to examine the impact of a stop-smoking intervention in adult psychiatric patients.
that evidence-based tobacco dependence treatments can substantially increase quit rates among psychiatric inpatients. We know that psychiatric patients smoke at very high rates
and are at tremendous risk from their smoking. Thus the findings hold promise to make an important real-world contribution to the health of these patients.
Her work also has highlighted how the tobacco industry has sponsored research to promote the self-medication hypothesis--that patients with psychiatric disorders need to smoke to function
--and marketed their products to patients with psychiatric disorders. Tobacco use has been thought to help calm patients
Smoking also can interfere with treatment affecting the metabolism of some psychiatric medications Prochaska said.
because the tobacco smoke is reducing the sedating side effects of their psychiatric medications she said.
To test the effects of treating tobacco use among hospitalized psychiatric patients the researchers initiated an intervention among 224 patients at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute a smoke-free locked mental hospital for acute care at UCSF.
The patients had a range of psychiatric diagnoses including depression bipolar disorder and schizophrenia; three in four were actively suicidal.
Prochaska said reaction from the psychiatric community thus far has been positive. I received a call from a clinician asking to make a referral--saying this is a great program.
because adolescence is a very vulnerable time for developing psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and addiction.
This reality has been attributed to the fact that people with psychiatric disorders who have higher suicide rates also tend to smoke.
Although scientists have known for years that people who smoke have a higher risk for suicide they had assumed the risk was related to the psychiatric disorders that affect many smokers.
These new findings however suggest smoking may increase the risk for psychiatric disorders or make them more severe
