Introduction: chronic consumption of tobacco today constitutes a social phenomenon that affects indistinctly to each sector of the population.Objective: to prove that the design and implementation of an educative strategy increases the level of knowledge and the tries to quit smoking in patients from the office 37 (Hermanos Cruz Neighborhood).
Material y method: quasi-experimental research with pre- and pro-test design with just one group carried out from August 6, 2012 to April 30, 2013. The target group consisted of the 101 smoking patients in that area, while the sample was made up by the 75 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Chi-square test was applied to see the results of the variables before and after.
Results: early in the strategy’s implementation, 77.3% of the patients had an adequate level of knowledge about the damages caused by smoking, this number increased to 100% after the research. 47.7% made tries to quit smoking early in the strategy’s implementation, and that number increased in participants after the intervention. All the participants that before tried to quit smoking kept trying later on.
Conclusions: the proper following should go on with these patients so they get to quit smoking if the try.
