Abstract

Introduction

Treating tobacco dependency in National Health Service (NHS) workers delivers substantial benefits at an individual, population, and health care system level. We report the outcomes from the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership’s tobacco dependency treatment program for NHS workers which includes 6-months’ access to behavioral support and 12 weeks of treatment through a digital application.

Methods

Aggregate results for all participants across the program from January 1, 2022, to September 1, 2023, are reported including a deep-dive evaluation of 300 participants recruited to provide chemically validated outcomes.

Results

A total of 1567 NHS workers participated in the program within the evaluation period, completing 24,048 sessions with specialist advisors within the application, ordering 18,710 nicotine vape liquids, 6927 nicotine patches, and 297 short-acting nicotine products. Users reported achieving 89,464 smoke-free days, 1,258,069 less cigarettes smoked, and a financial saving of £622,231. The deep-dive evaluation revealed a CO-verified 12-week abstinence rate of 37% (111 of 300).

Conclusion

This evaluation provides assurance of clinical effectiveness within a bespoke digital tobacco dependency treatment program for NHS workers across an Integrated Care Partnership.

治疗大曼彻斯特地区国家医疗服务系统工作人员的烟草依赖：对定制数字服务的评估

导言：治疗国民健康服务（NHS）工作人员的烟草依赖会在个人、人群和医疗保健系统层面带来巨大的益处。我们报告了大曼彻斯特地区综合医疗合作机构针对国家医疗服务体系工作人员开展的烟草依赖治疗项目的结果，该项目包括为期6个月的行为支持和12周的数字应用治疗。方法报告了2022年1月1日至2023年9月1日期间该项目所有参与者的综合结果，包括对招募的300名参与者进行的深入评估，以提供经化学验证的结果。结果在评估期间，共有 1567 名国家医疗服务系统工作人员参与了该计划，在应用程序中与专家顾问完成了 24,048 次对话，订购了 18,710 支尼古丁 vape 液体、6927 块尼古丁贴片和 297 件短效尼古丁产品。用户报告称，他们实现了 89,464 个无烟日，减少了 1,258,069 支香烟，节省了 622,231 英镑。深度评估显示，经 CO 验证的 12 周戒烟率为 37%（300 人中有 111 人戒烟）。
