The IG will receive telephone assistance to quit smoking (including psychological and psycho-educational support and pharmacological treatment advice, if required) proactively for 12 months, and the CG only brief counselling after discharge.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Psychological and psycho-educational support by phone

The intervention is based on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). The intervention, in order to achieve behavioural changes, will include components based in Bandura's social learning theory and social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986) and the transtheorical model of change (Prochaska, 1992). It has been shown that expectations and self-efficacy are behavioural predictors and that they are an effective framework for the assistance to quit smoking. This theory allows evaluating patient motivation phase and adapting the interventions according to each phase (Fiore, 2011)
