To investigate the current provision of tobacco education (tobacco use and cessation), assessment and e-cigarette education in UK dental and dental hygiene and therapy (DHT) undergraduate programmes.
The study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire sent to all UK institutions training dental and DHT students during the academic year 2015/2016.
Twenty-five programmes returned completed questionnaires (response rate 68%). All programmes (100%) reported delivering tobacco education, delivered by multiple individuals in 78% of the programmes. Assessment of the theoretical and practical aspects of tobacco education was reported in 80% and 72% of the programmes, respectively. More formal teaching time was devoted to the theoretical aspects (100% >2 hours) rather than the practical aspects (76% > 2 hours) of tobacco education. All programmes expected their graduates to be clinically competent at discussing the health consequences of smoking, deliver a brief smoking cessation intervention, and referring patients to stop smoking services. The use of the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training "Very Brief Advice" (NCSCT VBA) training package was reported to be mandatory in 36%, and recommended, in 44% of programmes. Specialised stop smoking services delivered teaching in 40% of both dental and DHT training programmes whilst another 40% reported previous input from specialist smoking cessation services but not in 2015/2016. Most programmes reported delivery of teaching on electronic cigarettes, with 12% delivering a standalone lecture on this topic.
Tobacco education is an important component of dental training. Dental education programmes should remain responsive to a rapidly changing field and fully utilise the available resources.
调查英国牙科、口腔卫生与治疗（DHT）本科课程中当前烟草教育（烟草使用与戒烟）、评估及电子烟教育的提供情况。
本研究采用自行填写的问卷，发送给2015/2016学年英国所有培养牙科和DHT专业学生的机构。
25个课程返回了完整问卷（回复率68%）。所有课程（100%）均报告开展了烟草教育，78%的课程由多人授课。分别有80%和72%的课程报告对烟草教育的理论和实践方面进行了评估。在烟草教育中，更多的正式教学时间用于理论方面（100%>2小时）而非实践方面（76%>2小时）。所有课程都期望其毕业生在讨论吸烟对健康的影响、进行简短的戒烟干预以及将患者转介至戒烟服务方面具备临床能力。据报告，36%的课程强制要求使用国家戒烟与培训中心的“简短建议”（NCSCT VBA）培训包，44%的课程推荐使用。40%的牙科和DHT培训课程由专门的戒烟服务机构提供教学，另有40%的课程报告曾接受过专业戒烟服务机构的培训，但在2015/2016年没有。大多数课程报告开展了电子烟教学，12%的课程就该主题进行了单独授课。
烟草教育是牙科培训的重要组成部分。牙科教育课程应与时俱进，迅速适应不断变化的领域，并充分利用现有资源。
