    Objective: Family physicians (FPs) are cornerstone for tobacco control. It was aimed to compare the effect of training on their smoking cessation practice, knowledge level and attitudes towards smoking and tobacco control. Methods and materials: The cross-sectional and multi-centered study was carried out using structured survey modified WHO based questionnaire. It was delivered to 1500 FPs randomly selected among approximately 23000 family physicians across the country. The study survey was self-reported by FPs, assessing their knowledge, attitudes, status of post-graduate training, and practice about tobacco control. Participants were assigned into two groups as non-trainee groups (Group 1) and post-graduate trainee (Group 2). Results: The mean age was 38.4 +/- 7.1 years-old. The percentage of male and female FPs in the study was 53.1% and 46.9%. The ratio of family physicians who participated in training program Group 2) was 26.5% (n = 327). The ratio of female FPs who participated the SCP training course was significantly higher than that of male FPs (27.3% versus 22.5%, p = 0.035). There was no significant difference for smoking status between groups (p = 0.686). When the number FPs whose consulted by the smokers over = 5 a week was compared, the ratio of FPs was significantly higher in group 2 than group 1 (p < 0.001), but overall ratio of FPs (2.8%) who consulted within a week smokers was considerably lower Statements of Competence and confidence items stated by all FPs were 24.2% and 32.2%, respectively. Physicians who had attended post-graduate training on SCP were more competent and confident, compared to non-trained FPs (p = 0.002 and p = 0.001). Conclusion: Post-graduate training on tobacco control improved self-confidence and competence of FPs. With post-graduate training, significant improvement was seen in practical skills of physicians. A continuing training program should be introduced to FPs, to engage them for smoking cessation practice.

    (Drunpp-Sarajevo, 2012) Aydin, Leyla Yilmaz; Baltaci, Davut; Ozturk, Serkan; Saritas, Ayhan; Eroz, Recep; Celepkolu, Tahsin; Yilmaz, Aylin
    It was aimed to investigate smoking habits, knowledge about and attitudes towards tobacco control among nurses and midwifes at primary care settings in Turkey. A cross-sectional survey was applied to nurses/midwives at primary care settings. 1063 surveys were analyzed in the study. Mean age of nurses/midwives was 33.7 +/- 6.3. Current, former and never smokers' ratio among nurses/midwives were 30.1 %, 10.6 % and 59.3 %, respectively. Knowledge of nurses/midwives was observed as quite high. Majority of never smokers significantly marked as higher agreement with items related to knowledge level about smoking by than ever smokers. The lowest ratio was observed in agreement with item of Pharmacotherapy is efficient for smoking cessation (46.6 %). the highest ratio was observed in agreement with item of Health professionals should routinely advise patients to avoid smoking around their children (97.5 %). Significant differences were observed in statement of agreement with items related to attitudes of the nurses/midwives towards smoking and tobacco control between never and ever smokers. Almost all of the nurses/midwives had no any training course on smoking cessation practice (99.6 %). Majority of them were not competent for preparedness in smoking cessation (competent: 17.4 % vs. incompetent or somewhat: 82.6 %). In conclusion, knowledge and skills in smoking cessation practice and attitudes towards smoking and tobacco control in nurses/midwives were observed as low and somewhat high. Therefore, an appropriate education program should be instituted to increase motivation of them about their role in society and smoking cessation practice.
