title: Barriers to tobacco cessation in clinical practice: report from a National Survey of Oncology Nurses.
abstract: This study describes the survey results of a national random sample of members of the Oncology Nursing Society who reported the greatest number of barriers to delivering a tobacco cessation intervention with their patients. Nurses who perceived the greatest number of barriers were more likely to be current smokers and to be young and were less likely to have an advanced degree, to be a nurse practitioner, or to have administrative responsibilities. Those with greater barriers were less likely to deliver tobacco cessation interventions.
