Study (systematic review) protocol.

BackgroundSmoking prevalence and the associated poor health and mortality is significantly higher among people with/recovering from problematic drug or alcohol (PDA) use in comparison with the general population. Evidence from existing systematic reviews shows smoking cessation enhances rather than compromises long-term abstinence from alcohol or drug use. However, these systematic reviews lack important contextual detail around the reasons why uptake of, and successful engagement with existing stop smoking services remains low for people in treatment or recovery from PDA use. This systematic review explores qualitative data on the barriers and facilitators to the uptake of smoking cessation services for people in treatment or recovery from PDA use. This key objective addresses the limited inclusion of qualitative studies in previous systematic reviews on this issue.MethodsA qualitative systematic review was conducted with searches across four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL]). All studies that had a qualitative component about free smoking cessation/reduction programmes for people in treatment or recovery from PDA use were included. Studies that examined electronic smoking or services that required a fee were excluded. Study quality was assessed using National Institute for Health and Care Excellence checklist. Qualitative synthesis involved inductive thematic analysis. (PROSPERO Registration number: CRD42022298521).Results8809 potentially eligible articles were identified, 72 full texts were screened and ten articles were included for full review. Barriers to uptake and engagement with existing stop smoking services centered on three key themes: perception of public health importance, programme structure, and intervention elements. Facilitators included supportive treatment environment and optimization of support/staff resources for smoking cessation service delivery.ConclusionRecommendations included influencing a change in the way people perceive the importance of smoking cessation activities during PDA use treatment or recovery. There was also some emphasis on the need to create the right environment for sustained adherence to treatment or recovery plans, and deliver the interventions within the health system as comprehensive care. The limited qualitative evidence on community-based and outpatient services highlights a research gap.</div
