Tobacco smoking is still one of the greatest, avoidable, singular causes of death. Although students of medical faculties are expected to have solid knowledge about smoking hazards, a significant number of them still smoke.
The aim of the study was to assess knowledge on tobacco dependence in a sample of students at the Medical University in Wroclaw.
Between 2009-2011, non-compulsory lectures on the diagnosis and treatment of tobacco dependence were provided for 3(rd) to 6(th) year students of medicine at the Medical University in Wroclaw (170 students). The questionnaire contained 10 questions about smoking-related diseases and medicines used in tobacco dependence treatment.
21% of students smoked cigarettes and 79% were never smokers. 36% of the study group was exposed to passive smoking at the university. Nearly 80% of survey respondents agreed with the statement that cigarette smoking can lead to psychological addiction as strong as drug addiction, but more than 12% of the respondents perceived smoking just as a strong habit. Only 6 out of 10 surveyed students recognised tobacco dependence as an illness classified in an international classification of diseases and health problems (ICD-10). The correct amount of the chemical substances to be found in tobacco smoke was known by 67.1% of all surveyed students. The vast majority of the surveyed students indicated correctly 2 brands of nicotine replacement therapy, but none of them could name even one chemical and corresponding trade name of the pharmaceutical with central effect.
The level of knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of tobacco dependence among the students of the Medical Faculty in Wroclaw Medical University is low, and requires improvement through educational activities at both facultative and compulsory study level. Special attention should be paid to pharmaceutical treatment of the tobacco dependence syndrome.
吸烟仍然是最大的可避免的单一死因之一。尽管医学院的学生应该对吸烟危害有扎实的了解,但仍有相当数量的学生吸烟。
本研究的目的是评估弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学学生样本中对烟草依赖的认知情况。
2009年至2011年期间,为弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学三至六年级的医学生(170名学生)提供了关于烟草依赖诊断和治疗的非必修课讲座。问卷包含10个关于吸烟相关疾病和用于烟草依赖治疗的药物的问题。
21%的学生吸烟,79%的学生从不吸烟。36%的研究组学生在大学接触过被动吸烟。近80%的受访者同意吸烟会导致与药物成瘾一样强烈的心理成瘾这一说法,但超过12%的受访者认为吸烟只是一种强烈的习惯。在接受调查的10名学生中,只有6人认识到烟草依赖是国际疾病和健康问题分类(ICD - 10)中分类的一种疾病。67.1%的受访学生知道烟草烟雾中所含化学物质的正确含量。绝大多数受访学生正确指出了2种尼古丁替代疗法品牌,但他们中甚至没有一人能说出一种具有中枢作用的药物的化学名称和相应商品名。
弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学医学院学生对烟草依赖诊断和治疗的知识水平较低,需要通过选修和必修学习层面的教育活动加以提高。应特别关注烟草依赖综合征的药物治疗。
