To assess pediatric otolaryngologists' training, actions, and attitudes with respect to patients exposed to secondhand smoke.
Cross-sectional survey.
Pediatric otolaryngologists and senior residents.
An anonymous, Web-based survey of pediatric otolaryngologists was designed to capture demographics, tobacco-specific education, actions, and attitudes. Responses were analyzed descriptively and entered into logistic regression models to determine predictors of adherence to the basic tenets of the general pediatrics secondhand smoke exposure-prevention guidelines.
One hundred-fifteen US physicians completed the survey. Descriptive analysis revealed low levels of training and low levels of tobacco-specific intervention among respondents. Logistic regression models showed that greater tobacco-specific knowledge/education and fewer perceived barriers predicted greater adherence to the basic tenets of the pediatrics guidelines.
Our pilot study provides preliminary evidence that can guide specific improvements in tobacco-intervention training for pediatric otolaryngologists and residents.
评估儿科耳鼻喉科医生针对接触二手烟患者的培训、行动及态度。
横断面调查。
儿科耳鼻喉科医生及高年级住院医师。
设计了一项针对儿科耳鼻喉科医生的基于网络的匿名调查,以获取人口统计学信息、烟草相关教育、行动及态度。对回复进行描述性分析,并纳入逻辑回归模型以确定遵守儿科二手烟暴露预防指南基本原则的预测因素。
115名美国医生完成了该调查。描述性分析显示,受访者的培训水平较低,烟草相关干预措施的实施程度也较低。逻辑回归模型表明,更多的烟草相关知识/教育以及更少的感知障碍预示着对儿科指南基本原则的更高遵守程度。
我们的初步研究提供了初步证据,可指导针对儿科耳鼻喉科医生及住院医师的烟草干预培训进行具体改进。
