Résumé
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.

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.

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.
