Patient, Family, or Population Health Trouble Clarification

Tobacco use is a primary cause of many preventable diseases. The global prevalence of tobacco smoking among males aged 16–23 years was 22.1%, while among females, it was 4.85% (Sharma et al., 2020). Variables like social environment, development stage, gender, and ethnicity influence the risk of addiction. Increased tolerance, social isolation, financial issues, mood swings, neglect of self-care, denial, and failed attempts to quit are significant symptoms of tobacco addiction (Lobete et al., 2020).

This assessment seeks to develop an intervention for individuals with tobacco addiction. The intervention will be tailored to the patient, Daniel. Due to his tobacco addiction, Daniel encounters many challenges in carrying out his daily activities. I plan to dedicate two practicum hours to working with Daniel and raising awareness about potential solutions to his issue. 

Role of Leadership and Change Management

Effective leadership includes teamwork, encouragement, and performance appreciation, significantly controlling tobacco addiction. Healthcare leadership utilizes a transformational leadership strategy essential in growing a positive work environment for tobacco cessation (Ystaas et al., 2023). Transformational leaders serve as role models, inspire with a convincing concept, and stimulate intellectual vision to provide patient-centered care. This leadership style boosts a culture of inclusivity and evidence-based approaches to healthcare providers in addressing tobacco addiction (Chen et al., 2022).

Change management, particularly the Lewin model, is essential to resolving Daniel’s tobacco addiction. This process includes reorganizing and enhancing an organization’s direction, operations, structures, and capabilities. Lewin’s three-stage model, unfreeze, change, and refreeze, provides an essential framework for tobacco addiction treatment (Bellantuono et al., 2021). Medical staff raise awareness about the health risks, social implications, and psychological aspects of tobacco addiction (Unfreeze). Healthcare staff can assist Daniel in instilling new behaviors and values by executing smoking cessation programs (Change).

The last step involves integrating support systems for successfully quitting and ongoing education about the culture that discourages tobacco use (Refreeze) (Su et al., 2022). The Lewin model ensures that each stage is allocated systematically to Daniel’s progress toward a healthier lifestyle (Abraham et al., 2023).

The Proposed Intervention

The proposed intervention for Daniel for tobacco addiction treatment is establishing instructive sessions through telehealth and mHealth. Telehealth provides remote consultations and support to patients who want to avoid physically accessing healthcare resources (Biancuzzi et al., 2023). Regular counseling sessions and follow-ups by telehealth technology like video conferencing educate and monitor Daniel’s health. It aids in the management of withdrawal symptoms and supports his motivation (Haluza et al., 2020). Healthcare staff should also make medication and other evidence-based interventions like nicotine replacement therapy, counseling, and behavioral therapies more accessible for each patient (Fang et al., 2023).
