Brief summary
Smoke-Free Recovery from trauma surgery is a trial taking place at the John Hunter and Liverpool Hospital, NSW. The study will investigate the uptake and usage of an online smoking cessation programme following an orthopaedic trauma. Smoke-Free Recovery will be developed to provide help for patients’ recovery from orthopaedic trauma surgery while successfully quitting smoking. The program will be specifically tailored to the individual’s smoking profile and will provide information about the effects of smoking on their specific wound recovery. This study aims to determine if it is feasible to provide patients with an online smoking cessation programme to promote smoking cessation during and following hospitalisation.

Participants in will receive access to an online tailored smoking cessation program to help them quit smoking whilst they are in hospital and after discharge. Duration of participant enrolment will be up to two month post discharge from hospital. The program will provide easily accessible, interactive, tailored smoking cessation information and support in hospital without over-burdening the hospital staff. This smoking cessation intervention can be continued at home, with the individuals able to navigate freely through the program. The program will feature a low reading age, graphics and visuals where possible and will be available to participants indefinitely. The program will be structured with seven modules to guide participants through the quit smoking process. These modules will include barriers to smoking cessation, tips on how to quit and stay quit as well as information on how to overcome relapse. The program will also feature interactive games, information about stop smoking medication, a discussion forum and a section for the individuals to track their progress. Participant will be able to access the program for the duration of their study enrolment, as the program is designed to be as close as possible to a real world interactive website which is available 24 hours a day on the internet. Participants will have the opportunity to use the intervention program multiple times during their hospital stay, accessing it either on their own internet enabled device or on one of the study iPads. After the participants are discharged from hospital, they will continue to access the online program using their own internet enabled devices. The program content will incorporate behaviour change techniques, tailoring and motivational interviewing to increase likelihood of effectiveness. Participants will be followed up with one month after hospital discharge to determine their thoughts and rates of usage of the programme. Phone interviews will be conducted with participants lasting approximately five minutes
