Abstract
This study focuses on existing publications dealing with smoking in people affected by a spinal cord injury.It is part of the subject on Research Methodology contained in the syllabus of the graduation course in nursing of the Federal de Ceará University. Its objective was to carry out bibliographic research in order to understand the topics covered. The study was conducted in May and June of 2008 and the data was obtained from the Virtual Library, Scientific Electronic Library online and Latin-American and Caribbean literature on health sciences.The search labels used were: smoking; spinal cord injury; physical impairment; nursing; smoking and spinal cord injury; smoking and physical impairment; smoking and nursing; physical impairment and nursing; spinal cord injury and nursing; smoking and spinal cord injury and nursing; smoking and physical impairment and nursing. Search results were as follows: 40,673 articles on smoking, 23,129 articles on spinal cord injury, 268 articles on physical impairment and 17,243 articles on nursing were found.In the cross matching of terms, 2 articles on physical impairment versus nursing were found.One proved to be very relevant in dealing with the importance and difficulties of verbal and non-verbal communication of the nurse caring for physically impaired patients.It has been concluded that carrying out this study was very important given that smoking is a reality in the lives of thousands of people, some of whom also present spinal cord injuries.
