- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Tobacco related mortality and morbidity is a growing public health problem world over. Counselling
has emerged as an important arsenal in the battle against tobacco. Involving experts other than traditional medical
health workers may be critical. Aim of the present study was to explore various aspects related to Tobacco cessation
counselling among Indian dental students. Methods: Overall, 241 undergraduate students from Manipal College of Dental
Sciences, Mangalore participated in the present investigation. A structured, pretested, self-administered questionnaire
was used to ascertain knowledge, attitude, behavior, perceived effectiveness and barriers and socio-demographic
details. Willingness to counsel patients and undergo further training counselling was also assessed. Results: Mean
knowledge, attitude, behavior, perceived effectiveness and barrier scores were 2.94 (±2.08), 51.84 (±5.63), 19.25
(±8.79), 16.17 (±1.96) and 42.39 (±5.65) respectively. Age was significantly correlated with knowledge; while year
of study revealed significant correlations with knowledge and behavior (p<0.05). Lack of motivation, poor attitude of
patients; lack of knowledge and skills emerged as barriers. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that year of
study, attitude, behavior and barrier scores were significant predictors for respondents ever counselled their patients
(p<0.05). Conclusions: Knowledge and behavior scores of the respondents towards Tobacco cessation counselling
were low, but a majority of the subjects were willing to counsel and undergo training. Year of study, attitude, behavior
and barrier scores emerged as significant predictors of counselling for Tobacco use. The present study has important
policy implications and highlights curriculum changes in making Tobacco cessation counselling more relevant and
effective among Indian dental students.- انتشار مقاله: 14-04-1398

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: It is acknowledged that the most effective means to contain the tobacco epidemic is to involve
healthcare providers across various disciplines. The present study was undertaken to gain a comprehensive insight
into various factors that determine the efficacy of multidisciplinary approaches in tobacco control. Methods: A cross
sectional study design using a structured, pretested and self-administered questionnaire was employed in the present study,
conducted among medical and dental interns and final year nursing students. Respondent demographics, knowledge,
attitude, behaviour, perceived effectiveness and barriers, and willingness to participate in tobacco cessation were assessed.
Results: A total of 268 subjects participated, with mean knowledge, attitude, behaviour, perceived effectiveness and
barrier scores of 69. 7%, 89.0%, 72.0%, 80.6% and 88.6% respectively. There were significant differences among the
mean scores of the study domains across the 3 disciplines. The majority (92.91%) of the respondents were willing to
participate in tobacco cessation activities, but only 14.2% had previously received relevant training. Regression analysis
revealed that the significant predictors of behaviour scores were gender, course, attitude and perceived effectiveness;
those for willingness to undertake tobacco cessation activities were course, attitude, behaviour and perceived barriers.
Conclusions: The study highlighted the willingness but low previous training among the participants and also identified
factors that determine t behaviour and willingness to undertake tobacco cessation activities. The study emphasizes the
need for modification in the policies pertaining to curricula of medical, dental and nursing training programs.- انتشار مقاله: 28-09-1396
