Abstract
Malaysia is one of the countries that have signed the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). The WHO FCTC is a form of evidence-based agreement that recognises the right of all people to attain the highest standard of health. Policies established by the government were in line with the WHO requirements to gazette the nationwide smoking ban so that enforcement measures can be taken to control smoking activities in public places. The purpose of this scoping review is to give an overview of the extent of knowledge, attitude, and the perception of the public on smoking ban policies implemented in Malaysia. The keyword search strategy was as follows: smoking AND policy AND Malaysia AND (knowledge OR attitude OR perception) for publications between the year 2015-2021, conducted through several databases including Medline (search results of 5 publications), Web of Science (search results of 9 publications) and Scopus (search results of 19 publications). A total of 12 articles were considered relevant to answer the research objectives. We found that the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception of the public towards the smoking ban policy in Malaysia was still defective and inadequate. Therefore, it is hoped that the results of this multifactorial relationship study could cultivate governance in administration and governmental policies to imbue competency and efficiency. Keywords: Governance; policy and implementation; government; tobacco; Malaysia
马来西亚是签署《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》的国家之一。《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》是一种以证据为基础的协议,承认所有人都有权达到最高标准的健康。政府制定的政策符合世界卫生组织发布全国禁烟令的要求,以便采取执法措施控制公共场所的吸烟活动。这项范围审查的目的是概述公众对马来西亚实施的禁烟政策的知识、态度和看法的程度。关键词搜索策略为:吸烟和政策以及马来西亚和(知识或态度或感知),针对2015-2021年间的出版物,通过Medline(5份出版物的搜索结果)、Web of Science(9份出版物的搜索结果)和Scopus(19份出版物的搜索结果)等多个数据库进行。共有12篇文章被认为与研究目标相关。我们发现,公众对马来西亚禁烟政策的知识、态度和认知水平仍然存在缺陷和不足。因此,希望本多因子关系研究的结果,能够培养行政治理和政府政策,以灌输胜任力和效率。关键词:公司治理;政策和实施;政府;烟草;马来西亚
