ABSTRACT
El tabaco es una de las drogas legales más consumidas en el mundo y un importante factor de riesgo de morbi-mortalidad asociado a diferentes enfermedades. Se describe el caso de un paciente que acude a la consulta de enfermería de su centro de salud, detectado como consu-midor de tabaco y captado para realizar un plan de cuidados mediante el Proceso Asistencial Integrado de Atención a Personas Fumadoras. Los principales diagnósticos de enfermería se relacionaron con una tendencia a adoptar conductas de riesgo para la salud, conflicto de deci-siones (dejar de fumar) y disposición para mejorar los conocimientos. Se desarrollaron medi-das como la terapia de grupo, además de la reducción del consumo de nicotina diaria hasta su completa eliminación. Este proceso constituye una herramienta de ayuda para seguir traba-jando en una atención sanitaria centrada en el paciente.
Tobacco is one of the most consumed legal drugs in the world and an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality. The case of a patient who goes to the nursing consultation of a Health Center is described. He was detected as a tobacco consumer and captured to carry out a care plan for the Integrated Healthcare Process for Smokers. The main nursing diagnoses were related to a tendency to adopt risky behaviors for health, conflict of decisions (quit smo-king) and updating to improve knowledge. It was developed group therapy, and reduction of daily nicotine consumption until its complete elimination. This process is a helpful tool to keep working in a patient-centered medical care.Tobacco is one of the most consumed legal drugs in the world and an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality.
