“…It found that the rate of tobacco use among the physicians at these hospitals was 52.2% [12]. It may be deduced by comparing the data from our study to the data from a study by Reyes Urueña et al [8] that a reduction in the prevalence of tobacco use among Spanish health professionals started to become evident from the time the Spanish legislation regulating tobacco use was implemented [9,10,13]. …”

“…A recent study analysed how the rate of tobacco use in a group of workers at two Catalan hospitals evolved from 2001 to 2011. The study found that the smoking rates in physicians decreased from 25.9% in 2001 to 18.8% in 2011 (p = 0.005) and the smoking rates in nurses decreased from 35.1 to 25.6% (p = 0.005) [8]. There may be several explanations for this significant reduction: greater awareness and improved knowledge about this subject.…”

Background: The MPOWER strategy encourages suitable monitoring of the tobacco epidemic among health professionals in all countries. Objective: To analyse the prevalence of and attitudes towards tobacco use among Spanish health professionals. Methods: A study was conducted based on an online survey. The study population consisted of health professionals (primary care physicians, specialist physicians and nurses). The questionnaire used included questions about tobacco consumption, knowledge of and attitudes towards smoking. The sample size was calculated according to a database with 9,500 e-mail addresses and listings of health centres and hospitals all over Spain. Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS software programme. Results: The study group comprised a total of 612 health professionals: 322 were women (52.6%), 196 were nurses and 416 were physicians. 11.7% of health professionals were smokers (9.6% regular smokers and 2.1% occasional smokers) and 41.3% were ex-smokers. Within the group of daily smokers, differences were observed between the nurses and the physicians: 11.2 versus 8.9% (p = 0.009). Smoking was recognized as a chronic disorder by 58.2% of health professionals, and 54.6% knew that the most effective intervention to help quit is a combination of psychological and pharmacological treatment. 56% of health professionals always asked their patients about their tobacco consumption. Conclusions: 11.7% of Spanish health professionals are smokers. We found that they have low knowledge about strategies to quit smoking and that there is a low level of therapeutic intervention on smokers.

“…Estos resultados concuerdan con los obtenidos en un estudio con los trabajadores de la salud donde muestran que 29% de la población mundial es fumadora con una relación de 46% en los hombres frente a un 10% en las mujeres 29 . Aunque se recalca que las cifras en las mujeres están aumentando e incluso sobrepasando a las de los hombres en los últimos años, como lo muestra Reyes et al 30 , al evaluar el consumo de tabaco en trabajadores de Cataluña (España), donde predominaron las mujeres como fumadoras con valores del 33.4%. En cuanto al nivel de dependencia al consumo de tabaco que evalúa el test de Glover-Nilsson, la mayoría de los trabajadores se situaron en la categoría "leve" en cuanto a dependencia social, psicológica y gestual con valores de 68.7% (11 personas), 93.7% (15 personas) y 87.5% (14 personas) respectivamente; donde solo un 6.2% (1 persona) presento dependencia alta en las 3 categorías y la cual tiene una edad de 27 años;, lo que concuerda con un estudio realizado en Zaragoza (España) por Nerín et al 31 , que buscaba evaluar la dependencia psicológica al tabaco mediante el mismo test, donde los encuestados de menor edad presentan una mayor puntuación en cada categoría.…”

Introducción: El nivel de actividad física, tabaquismo y alcoholismo, son factores de riesgo cardiovascular que modifican la salud y calidad de vida de las personas. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el nivel de actividad física, consumo de alcohol y tabaquismo que se presenta en funcionarios públicos de una institución gubernamental en Tunja, Colombia. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en una muestra de 71 funcionarios, a quienes se les aplicó tres test de auto diligenciamiento para determinar su actividad física, habito de fumar y consumo de alcohol. Resultados: El nivel de actividad física más predominante fue el moderado (40.85%); además un 43.6% de la muestra resulto permanece más de 6 horas sentada. Respecto al tabaquismo, se encontró que el 22.54% fuman, obteniendo en las 3 categorías en su mayoría dependencia leve; el consumo de alcohol se presentó en un 73,24%, donde el 78,85%, son bebedores sociales y el 7,69% tienen consumo de riesgo. Discusión: La importante inactividad física encontrada en los funcionarios, se reflejó en su índice de masa corporal, además de conductas de riesgo como consumo de alcohol y hábito de fumar que en un futuro pueden afectar su salud, identificándose que se debe realizar mayores estudios epidemiológicos que profundicen en el tema. Conclusiones: La muestra estudiada presentó un moderado nivel de actividad física junto con alta prevalencia de otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular; por lo cual se recomendaría la implementación de pausas activas como medida para estimular el ejercicio físico.Cómo citar este artículo: López LM, Pérez AJ, Sisa ME, Téllez LN.

“…Various Spanish authors have evaluated tobacco consumption amongst PHC personnel and their attitude towards its treatment [15][16][18][19][20][21][22][23] . For example, in 1997 prevalence was found to be 38.1% decreasing to 28.7% by 2008 18,23 . A later study in 2015, which included 612 PHC personnel (155 physicians), observed a prevalence of 11.7% (8.9% and 11.2% for physicians and nurses, respectively), although it might not have been possible to accurately distinguish the different groups 16 .…”

INTRODUCTION Our aim was to ascertain how the anti-smoking legislation of 2005/2010 has affected the behavior of primary healthcare center (PHC) personnel (medical and nonmedical) with respect to their attitudes towards tobacco, its consumption and the legislative changes. METHODS We conducted a multi-center descriptive study of a randomized conglomerate sample of PHC personnel from each Autonomous Community in Spain. The questionnaire covered tobacco consumption, and knowledge/attitudes towards smoking and legislation. The statistical analysis used SPSS software. RESULTS The sample consisted of 2040 PHC employees (1578 women, 77.4%). Never smokers, ex-smokers, and smokers represented 46.7%, 37.8%, and 15.5% of the sample, respectively. Tobacco prevalence amongst physicians and nurses was 12.3%. Following the introduction of the antismoking legislation, a decrease in consumption was observed. Most of the participants considered that tobacco consumption affected health, was an addictive illness, and passive smoking had an impact on the health of non-smokers. Whilst 91.6% agreed with the current legislation, only 25% felt that it encouraged cessation. CONCLUSIONS Spanish primary healthcare professionals have a relatively low prevalence of smoking compared to the general population. It is necessary to implement more legislative measures to improve and maintain this outcome.
