Tobaccoism is one of the most important social and health problems that exists. Given the role of Health Profesionals as educators and their example within the community, this particular group of people are vital in preventing and controlling tobaccoism. The purpose of this study was to identify the number and type of smokers working as professional health personnel in the Guadalajara Primary Medical Care Services, as well as their attitudes and knowledge in relation to the problem.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out by means of a survey of all Guadalajara Primary Medical Care Personnel (doctors, nurses and other professionals). Data was compiled on social and demographic factors as well as the use of tobacco and awareness, attitudes and opinions: results were then analysed according to age, sex, occupation, working environment and degree of addiction.
The rate of response was 86.1%. 38.2% claimed to be smokers (34.9% men and 41.2% women). Single male doctors living in urban areas showed the lowest rate of tobaccism. The majority of smokers did so at work, however not in front of patients, 63.2% had tried to give up smoking. The main cause of failure was attributed to lack of willpower (45.9%). 79.7% of ex-smokers had given up the habit after diagnosis of a health problem or illness. With respect to awareness and attitude, it was the medical profession and not tobaccoism itself that provided the most effective information and created less permissiveness in relation to the habit. Over 90% are in favour of initiating anti-smoking programs in Health Departments.
A significant number of smokers in the sector was recorded, however attitudes towards the problem were positive.
吸烟是现存最重要的社会和健康问题之一。鉴于卫生专业人员作为教育者的角色及其在社区中的榜样作用，这一特定群体对于预防和控制吸烟至关重要。本研究的目的是确定在瓜达拉哈拉初级医疗服务机构工作的吸烟专业卫生人员的数量和类型，以及他们对该问题的态度和知识。
通过对瓜达拉哈拉所有初级医疗人员（医生、护士和其他专业人员）进行调查，开展了一项描述性横断面研究。收集了关于社会和人口统计学因素以及烟草使用、意识、态度和意见的数据；然后根据年龄、性别、职业、工作环境和成瘾程度对结果进行分析。
回复率为86.1%。38.2%的人称自己吸烟（男性为34.9%，女性为41.2%）。居住在城市地区的单身男医生吸烟率最低。大多数吸烟者在工作时吸烟，但不在患者面前，63.2%的人曾试图戒烟。戒烟失败的主要原因是缺乏意志力（45.9%）。79.7%的戒烟者在被诊断出健康问题或疾病后戒掉了吸烟习惯。关于意识和态度，提供最有效信息且对吸烟习惯宽容度较低的是医疗行业而非吸烟问题本身。超过90%的人赞成在卫生部门启动反吸烟项目。
该部门记录到相当数量的吸烟者，然而对该问题的态度是积极的。
