Abstract

BACKGROUND

One third of Bahraini adult (20-64 years) males and 7.0% of females use some form of tobacco. The corresponding rates for cigarette and waterpipe tobacco smoking (WTS) are 11.0% and 6.0%, respectively. The objective of the study was to determine the knowledge on tobacco smoking and past smoking related behavior of male patients attending the Quit Tobacco Clinics (QTC) in Bahrain.

METHODS

A sample of 339 male clinic attendees was taken proportional to the population distribution in the three QTC at Al Hoora Health Center, Hamad Kanoo Health Center, and Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait Health Center. Data collection was performed until the sample size was completed (September 2015 to December 2016). Knowledge on the health effects of cigarette and WTS was examined based on 10 statements on cigarette and similar ones on WTS. Respondents "agreeing" with the statements were considered knowledgeable and those "disagreeing" or responding "don't know", not knowledgeable. All the "agree" responses for cigarette/WTS were summed across the 10 health effects and average health knowledge scores for cigarette/WTS were computed.

RESULTS

Most of the study participants were Bahraini nationals, ever married and educated with at least secondary level. The majority (65.8%) of participants smoked a single type of tobacco product, and the rest, two (28.0%) or three or more (6.2%). Age of starting cigarette and WTS was 16.2 ± 4.0 and 19.3 ± 6.7 years, respectively. The majority (81%) smoked in the presence of other family members and 26.3% in the presence of a child. 76.2% smoked in the presence of others in their cars. 18.9% of the attendees had quit smoking at the time of interview. 81% of the participants knew about the hazards of both cigarette and WTS with a significantly higher (p = 0.0001) mean knowledge score for cigarette (93.3 ± 3.0%) than WTS (85.2 ± 2.1%).

CONCLUSION

The relative lack of knowledge on the hazards of WTS in a sample of Arab country population with an increasing trend of WTS warrants the attention of health policy makers in the country and region.

摘要

背景

三分之一的巴林成年男性（20-64 岁）和 7.0%的女性使用某种形式的烟草。相应的香烟和水烟烟草吸烟（WTS）率分别为 11.0%和 6.0%。本研究的目的是确定在巴林参加戒烟诊所（QTC）的男性患者对吸烟的知识和过去的吸烟相关行为。

方法

从 Al Hoora 健康中心、Hamad Kanoo 健康中心和 Bank of Bahrain 和 Kuwait 健康中心的三个 QTC 中按人口分布比例抽取了 339 名男性诊所参与者。数据收集于 2015 年 9 月至 2016 年 12 月完成。根据 10 项关于香烟的陈述和类似的水烟烟草陈述，检查了关于香烟和水烟烟草健康影响的知识。对陈述“同意”的被认为是有知识的，对陈述“不同意”或回答“不知道”的则认为没有知识。将所有对香烟/WTS 的“同意”回答加总，计算香烟/WTS 的平均健康知识得分。

结果

大多数研究参与者是巴林国民，已婚，受过至少中学教育。大多数（65.8%）参与者只吸食一种烟草制品，其余的（28.0%）或三种或三种以上（6.2%）。开始吸烟和吸食水烟烟草的年龄分别为 16.2±4.0 和 19.3±6.7 岁。大多数（81%）在有其他家庭成员在场的情况下吸烟，26.3%在有孩子在场的情况下吸烟。76.2%的人在车内有其他人在场的情况下吸烟。18.9%的参与者在接受采访时已经戒烟。81%的参与者了解香烟和水烟烟草的危害，对香烟的平均知识评分（93.3±3.0%）明显高于水烟烟草（85.2±2.1%）（p=0.0001）。
