This study assesses smoking prevalence, attitudes, and perceived patient counselling responsibilities among practicing nurses in Amman, Jordan. It also identifies whether their smoking status or training in counselling patients about smoking is associated with their smoking-related attitudes and counselling practices. Data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of 266 (n = 266) nurses at four public and private hospitals in Amman. Smoking prevalence was 42% for male nurses and 13% for female nurses. Nurses strongly favoured enforcement of anti-smoking policy, but did not strongly agree that nurses should be involved in counselling patients about smoking. Approximately 41% of nurses indicated that they had received training on counselling patients about smoking. Nurse training with respect to counselling patients about smoking was positively associated with the nurses' belief that their counselling could help patients stop or never start smoking. In addition, nurses with counselling training about smoking felt significantly better prepared to assist patients to quit smoking. Nurses who smoked were significantly less likely to believe their counselling of patients about smoking could be effective. Finally, smoking status was not significantly associated with how well prepared the nurses felt to assist patients to quit smoking. These findings identify a need for more extensive and better-tailored training programmes for nurses on patient counselling about smoking.
本研究评估了约旦安曼执业护士的吸烟率、态度以及对患者戒烟咨询责任的认知。研究还确定了她们的吸烟状况或关于向患者提供吸烟咨询的培训是否与她们与吸烟相关的态度及咨询行为有关。数据通过对安曼4家公立和私立医院的266名护士（n = 266）进行横断面调查收集。男护士吸烟率为42%，女护士为13%。护士们强烈支持实施禁烟政策，但并不十分认同护士应参与对患者进行吸烟咨询。约41%的护士表示他们接受过关于向患者提供吸烟咨询的培训。护士接受关于向患者提供吸烟咨询的培训与她们认为自己的咨询能够帮助患者戒烟或永不开始吸烟的信念呈正相关。此外，接受过吸烟咨询培训的护士感觉自己在协助患者戒烟方面准备得更好。吸烟的护士认为自己对患者进行吸烟咨询有效的可能性显著更低。最后，吸烟状况与护士感觉自己在协助患者戒烟方面准备得如何并无显著关联。这些研究结果表明，需要为护士开展更广泛、更具针对性的关于向患者提供吸烟咨询的培训项目。
