It has been shown to be related to various diseases, such as cancer, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive and urinary system problems, among others. In fact, tobacco kills half of its consumers, as stated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/es\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Health Organization<\/a> (OMS). In any case, it is also clear that quality of life is affected, interfering with reproduction and osteoarticular health, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Osteoarticular pathology is particularly frequent; it is observed that smokers are <strong>between 30% and 50% more likely to fracture their hips<\/strong> than non-smokers of the same age; and as for chronic pain, there is a significant increase in the intensity of pain among smokers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, despite awareness of the risks, there are numerous barriers to quitting smoking, which makes smoking cessation a huge challenge and only sometimes successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;AFRONTAR, the smoking cessation process&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafifoundation.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.oafifoundation.com\">OAFI<\/a> we understand that prevention of access to tobacco is crucial, but we also consider it essential to provide effective support to those who wish to quit smoking but are unable to do so on their own; and in this sense, we have promoted the project \u201cFacing the process of quitting smoking\u201d, with the main objective of improving the coping and self-care capacity of the patient with osteoarticular pathology to quit smoking. We also intend to identify the main motivations, barriers, assess the effectiveness of coping strategies and make proposals that could contribute to the success of smoking cessation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From OAFI, we promote this study having had the favorable opinion of the regional Research Ethics Committee (CEI) of the Community of Madrid; and scientific endorsement of the Spanish Society for Quality of Care (<a href=\"https:\/\/calidadasistencial.es\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/calidadasistencial.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SECA<\/a>); the Federation of Family and Community Nursing Associations (<a href=\"https:\/\/faecap.es\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/faecap.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FAECAP<\/a>) and the Sociedad Cient\u00edfico Profesional de Farmacia Iberoamericana Comunitaria (Ibero-American Community Pharmacy Society) (<a href=\"https:\/\/socfic.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/socfic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOCFIC<\/a>), we organized the present project, which is being carried out in 2 stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The two stages:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1ST STAGE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of this study was to identify the main physical, emotional, social and occupational barriers to quitting smoking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Physical: nicotine addiction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emotional: because it satisfies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social: because of its easy access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Labor: because of smoking colleagues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of this stage, it has been published in different congresses and media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As a scientific congress, the 50th National Congress of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ser.es\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ser.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SER (Sociedad Espa\u00f1ola de Reumatolog\u00eda)<\/a>, May 7-10, 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a management congress, it was also accepted to the XIII SEAUS Symposium.
