This study identifies smoking prevalence among physicians in Jordan. It also assesses their attitudes, perceived smoking prevention, and control responsibilities and behaviors. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 251 physicians from public and private hospitals in Jordan. The response rate was 67%. The prevalence of smoking is 22.4% for male and 9.1% for female physicians. Among current or former smokers, 81.1% (n = 73), 29.1% overall, had smoked in front of a patient. The physicians believed that physician counseling could more effectively prevent patients from smoking than influencing patients to quit smoking. Approximately 56.2% of physicians had ever counseled patients about smoking and 34.3% regularly counseled patients about smoking. Only 18.3% (n = 46) had received training, either in medical school or thereafter, on counseling patients about smoking. Physicians with training on counseling patients about smoking cessation were significantly more likely to have counseled or to routinely counsel patients to help them quit or not start smoking. Training also lowered the percentage of smokers who smoked in front of patients.
本研究确定了约旦医生中的吸烟率。它还评估了他们的态度、对吸烟预防的认知、控制责任以及行为。对约旦公立和私立医院的251名医生进行了横断面调查。回复率为67%。男性医生的吸烟率为22.4%，女性医生为9.1%。在目前或曾经吸烟的医生中，81.1%（n = 73），即总体的29.1%，曾在患者面前吸烟。医生们认为，与劝患者戒烟相比，医生提供咨询能更有效地预防患者吸烟。约56.2%的医生曾就吸烟问题为患者提供咨询，34.3%的医生定期为患者提供吸烟咨询。只有18.3%（n = 46）的医生在医学院或之后接受过关于为患者提供吸烟咨询的培训。接受过戒烟咨询培训的医生更有可能为患者提供咨询或定期为患者提供咨询，以帮助他们戒烟或不开始吸烟。培训也降低了在患者面前吸烟的吸烟者比例。
