Smoking prevalence among Chinese males is the highest in the world and its morbidity and mortality is growing. Previous studies suggested nurses are inadequately prepared to treat tobacco use and dependence.
To examine the inclusion and organization of tobacco control content in the undergraduate nursing curriculum of Hong Kong and Mainland China; and the smoking status of faculty and students.
Cross-sectional survey.
Deans of 32 nursing schools in Hong Kong and China with an undergraduate programme (representing over 12000 students) completed a self-administered questionnaire.
Most schools included the health hazards of tobacco (56.3-100%), but few covered tobacco cessation theory (31.3-62.5%), or behavioural (9.4-56.3%) and pharmacological (3.1-34.4%) interventions in the curriculum. Most curricula covered less than 1h of tobacco content per year of study. Nearly all schools (93.1%) reported smoking among faculty but only half reported access to smoking cessation programmes.
This is the first known study to examine the extent of tobacco control education in the nursing curriculum in China. Results suggested deficiencies in the coverage and clinical practice in smoking and smoking cessation, and recommendations were made to strengthen the curriculum.
中国男性吸烟率居世界之首，且其发病率和死亡率不断上升。以往研究表明，护士在治疗烟草使用和依赖方面准备不足。
研究香港和中国大陆本科护理课程中控烟内容的纳入情况和组织方式，以及教师和学生的吸烟状况。
横断面调查。
中国香港和内地32所设有本科护理专业的院校（代表12000多名学生）的院长完成一份自填式问卷。
大多数学校在课程中纳入了烟草对健康的危害（56.3%-100%），但很少涉及戒烟理论（31.3%-62.5%）、行为干预（9.4%-56.3%）和药物干预（3.1%-34.4%）。大多数课程每年学习的烟草相关内容少于1小时。几乎所有学校（93.1%）都报告有教师吸烟，但只有一半的学校报告提供戒烟项目。
这是已知的第一项研究中国护理课程中控烟教育程度的研究。结果表明在吸烟及戒烟的课程覆盖和临床实践方面存在不足，并提出了加强课程设置的建议。
