| description | Introduction
Many studies have shown that training in smoking cessation care (SCC)
is important for increasing the number and quality of delivered interventions by
health professionals, and various training methods are available. The study aimed
to identify the relationship between receiving training on SCC and the frequency
of providing outpatient-based SCC among pulmonologists who were members of
the Turkish Thoracic Society (TTS).
Methods
For this cross-sectional study, a self-administered online questionnairebased
survey was conducted on a group of active pulmonologists who were
members of the TTS, between April and October 2019. The survey included
questions about demographics, smoking status, participation in SCC training, and
providing outpatient-based SCC.
Results
A total of 199 (53%) pulmonologists were actively taking part in outpatientbased
SCC. Compared to those that were not providing outpatient-based SCC,
median age, median time since graduation, and the number of non-academics,
non-current smokers and recipients of smoking cessation care training were
significantly higher in the group providing outpatient-based SCC (p<0.001,
p<0.001, p=0.002, p=0.001, respectively). It was observed that having SCC
training increased more than 6-fold the likelihood of providing outpatient-based
SCC (AOR=6.45; 95% CI: 3.96–10.49; p<0.001).
Conclusions
The most crucial obstacle in providing smoking cessation is healthcare
workers not providing smoking cessation to smokers. It is worthwhile to devote
more tasks and resources to training physicians on smoking cessation care since
this may increase their effective involvement in tobacco cessation. |
