This study assessed the tobacco cessation knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of dentists participating in a large managed care dental plan.
Participating dentists in 4 states were surveyed via mail.
Dentists' perceived success in helping patients quit using tobacco was highly correlated with discussion of specific strategies for quitting, advice about the use of nicotine gum, and time spent counseling patients. Dentists who were confident about their smoking cessation knowledge frequently advised patients to quit and spent more time counseling patients about tobacco cessation.
Tobacco cessation is not a routine part of dental practice. Knowledge, time spent counseling patients, and specific strategies for quitting were associated with dentists' perceptions of success.
本研究评估了参与一项大型管理式医疗牙科计划的牙医的戒烟知识、态度和行为。
通过邮件对4个州的参与牙医进行了调查。
牙医认为在帮助患者戒烟方面的成功与戒烟具体策略的讨论、关于使用尼古丁口香糖的建议以及咨询患者所花费的时间高度相关。对自己戒烟知识有信心的牙医经常建议患者戒烟，并花费更多时间为患者提供戒烟咨询。
戒烟并非牙科实践的常规部分。知识、咨询患者所花费的时间以及戒烟的具体策略与牙医对成功的认知相关。
