Smoking is the main preventable cause of lifestyle-related diseases and smoking cessation interventions have shown to be cost-effective. It is important to know the smoking habits and attitudes towards smoking among the hospital staff because of the impact the staff have on the patients. Two studies were conducted to attain this information.
This study analyzes the results of a survey conducted in the summer of 2001 and compares them to a similar study conducted in 1999. 970 anonymous questionnaires were distributed in 2001.
The number of smokers among the staff has significantly decreased from 33% to 26% over the 2-year period. Those who do still smoke are less willing to quit and are reluctant to accept help to stop smoking. Fewer are bothered by passive smoking now compared to 1999 and approximately 2/3 of the responders do not find it acceptable to implement sanctions against the members of staff who break the prohibition.
It is worth providing resources to smoking cessation intervention. The intensive preventive work carried out at the hospital may have resulted in significantly fewer smokers among the staff which again facilitate the staff's effort to help the patients stop smoking.
吸烟是与生活方式相关疾病的主要可预防病因，戒烟干预措施已证明具有成本效益。了解医院工作人员的吸烟习惯和对吸烟的态度很重要，因为工作人员会对患者产生影响。为此进行了两项研究以获取这些信息。
本研究分析了2001年夏季进行的一项调查结果，并将其与1999年进行的一项类似研究进行比较。2001年发放了970份匿名问卷。
在两年时间里，工作人员中的吸烟者数量从33%显著下降到了26%。仍在吸烟的人不太愿意戒烟，也不愿意接受戒烟帮助。与1999年相比，现在受被动吸烟困扰的人减少了，约三分之二的受访者认为对违反禁烟规定的工作人员实施制裁是不可接受的。
值得为戒烟干预提供资源。医院开展的强化预防工作可能使工作人员中的吸烟者大幅减少，这反过来又有助于工作人员帮助患者戒烟。
