OBJECTIVES To select outcomes of the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and develop operational definitions for their indicators in order to evaluate patients during smoking cessation. METHODS A consensus study among experts, involving eight nurses. A 100% consensus was required to select the outcomes. Operational definitions were developed based on the literature. RESULTS Two outcomes were selected, Smoking Cessation Behavior (1625)—with nine indicators, and Substance Withdrawal Severity (2108)—with 11 indicators, for which we developed operational definitions. CONCLUSIONS Consensus allowed the selection of NOC outcomes and indicators, which will allow us to evaluate patients during smoking cessation using a standardized classification. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE A standardized classification provides a more qualified evaluation of patients during smoking cessation.
