Abstract

Introduction: Tobacco use is one of the leading worldwide health risk factors and a primary cause of premature death and disability. Tobacco cessation programs might work well if provided by all healthcare providers. This study aimed to evaluate dental students' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices towards tobacco hazards on general and periodontal health and tobacco cessation councling.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among dental students who were in their clinical years (the fourth, fifth and sixth year of study), in Saudia Arabia in 2022. A self-administered questionnaire derived from the TCC questionnaire survey was carried out among 315 dental students. Knowledge was considered poor if correct answers were below the median value. Attitude was on a five-point Likert scale. Adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed.

Results: The study revealed that about 52% have poor knowledge, 64% have negative attitudes, 69% have negative beliefs, and 44% poor practice. All these ratings were below median values. It also showed that younger dental students were 2 times more likely to have poor knowledge (AOR=1.97; 95% CI: 1.1-3.53) and smokers were less likely to have poor knowledge (AOR=0.34; 95% CI: 0.12-0.95). One third of students perceived patient resistance as a barrier to TCC while 50% reported lack of knowledge, 32% lack of time, and 24% lack of materials.

Conclusions: The study findings urge the inclusion of programs to encourage dental students to help patients quit tobacco use and to make educational material available to them.

牙科学生对烟草对全身健康和牙周健康危害的认识以及戒烟咨询。
导言:吸烟是全球主要的健康风险因素之一,也是导致过早死亡和残疾的主要原因。如果所有医疗服务提供者都能提供戒烟计划,那么戒烟计划可能会取得良好效果。本研究旨在评估牙科学生对烟草危害一般健康和牙周健康以及戒烟咨询的知识、态度、信念和实践:方法:2022 年在沙特阿拉伯对临床年级(第四、第五和第六学年)的牙科学生进行了一项描述性横断面研究。对 315 名牙科学生进行了自填式问卷调查,该问卷来源于 TCC 问卷调查。如果正确答案低于中位值,则视为知识贫乏。态度采用李克特五点量表。对结果进行了调整后的逻辑回归分析:研究显示,约 52% 的人知识贫乏,64% 的人态度消极,69% 的人信念消极,44% 的人实践能力差。所有这些评分都低于中位值。研究还显示,年龄较小的牙科学生知识贫乏的可能性高出 2 倍(AOR=1.97;95% CI:1.1-3.53),而吸烟者知识贫乏的可能性较低(AOR=0.34;95% CI:0.12-0.95)。三分之一的学生认为患者的抵触情绪是TCC的障碍,50%的学生表示缺乏知识,32%的学生表示缺乏时间,24%的学生表示缺乏材料:研究结果敦促牙科学生加入鼓励帮助患者戒烟的项目,并向他们提供教育材料。
