Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are being marketed to people who smoke (PWS) as a smoking cessation aid. GPs have an important role in providing patients with support to encourage them to quit smoking. The emergence and marketing of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation alternative poses challenges to GPs in advising and supporting PWS to quit.
This systematic review aims to synthesise available evidence on the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of GPs about e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid.
DESIGN & SETTING: Mixed-methods study review including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies of GPs in primary care settings.
MEDLINE, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Scopus, PsycINFO, and Embase databases will be searched to identify articles published between 1 January 2003 and 30 June 2021. A Google search will be conducted to identify grey literature. Two independent reviewers will screen abstracts for relevance and full-text studies. Articles will be appraised for quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews, and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) diagram will illustrate the flow of articles and reasons for exclusion. An evidence synthesis method will be employed and guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). A descriptive qualitative synthesis of the findings will be reported.
Findings will provide a synthesis of current evidence regarding the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions among GPs of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid. This information will be useful to guide future research on the needs of GPs in advising and supporting patients to quit smoking. It will also assist in the development of health policy and guidelines on the role and place of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid.

本系统评价旨在综合现有证据，了解全科医生对电子烟作为戒烟辅助工具的知识、态度和看法。
混合方法研究综述，包括对基层医疗环境中全科医生的定量、定性和混合方法研究。
将检索MEDLINE、CINAHL（护理及相关健康文献累积索引）、Scopus、PsycINFO和Embase数据库，以识别2003年1月1日至2021年6月30日期间发表的文章。将进行谷歌搜索以识别灰色文献。两名独立评审员将筛选摘要的相关性和全文研究。将使用混合方法评估工具（MMAT）对文章质量进行评估，系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）图将说明文章的流程和排除原因。将采用一种证据综合方法，并以计划行为理论（TPB）为指导。将报告对研究结果的描述性定性综合。
研究结果将综合当前关于全科医生对电子烟作为戒烟辅助工具的知识、态度和看法的证据。这些信息将有助于指导未来关于全科医生在为患者提供建议和支持戒烟方面需求的研究。它还将有助于制定关于电子烟作为戒烟辅助工具的作用和地位的卫生政策和指南。
