目的：调查希腊医生的吸烟习惯及其相关危险因素。研究设计：对随机选择的希腊医生样本进行横断面调查。研究方法：全国1284名医生（718名男性，566名女性）参加了这项研究，该研究于2003年9月至2005年6月进行。通过匿名自填问卷收集数据。Logistic回归分析不同因素对医生是当前或以前吸烟者的概率的影响。结果：总体而言，38.6%的医生（40%的男性; 37%的女性）目前吸烟，13.8%的前吸烟者，47.6%从未吸烟。83%的吸烟者报告在25岁之前开始吸烟，其中一半人在医学院期间（19-24岁）。多变量分析显示，医生谁是伴侣，未婚，离婚或丧偶，外科医生或麻醉师，和居民更有可能是目前的吸烟者。以前吸烟的人年龄更大，配偶更多，出生在农村地区。此外，在父母有吸烟史的医生中，目前或以前吸烟的几率明显更高。目前吸烟者中报告（经常或总是）咨询患者戒烟的医生比例低于从不吸烟者或曾经吸烟者（74.4% vs. 85.3% vs. 84.7%，P < 0.0001）。结论：希腊医生吸烟的患病率非常高，与一般人群相似。应立即实施更有效的干预措施，减少医疗界的吸烟，使医生能够更好地履行其作为普通民众榜样的职能。(C)2006年，皇家公共卫生研究所。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Objective: To investigate the smoking habits and associated risk factors among Greek physicians. Study design: Cross-sectional survey of a randomly selected sample of Greek physicians. Methods: A national sample of 1284 physicians (718 men, 566 women) participated in the study, which was conducted between September 2003 and June 2005. Data were collected through an anonymous self-completed questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to analyse the influence of different factors on the probability of a physician being a current or former smoker. Results: Overall, 38.6% of the physicians (40% of men; 37% of women) currently smoked, 13.8% were former smokers, and 47.6% had never smoked. Eighty-three per cent of smokers reported starting smoking before the age of 25 years, with half of them during medical school (aged 19-24 years). Multivariate analyses revealed that physicians who were mate, unmarried, divorced or widowed, surgeons or anaesthetists, and residents were more likely to be current smokers. Former smokers were more likely to be older, mate and born in a rural area. Moreover, the odds of being a current or former smoker were significantly higher among physicians with a history of parents who smoked. The proportion of physicians who reported counselling patients (often or always) to stop smoking was lower among current smokers compared with those who never smoked or those who were former smokers (74.4% vs. 85.3% vs. 84.7%, P < 0.0001). Conclusions: The prevalence of smoking among Greek physicians is exceedingly high and similar to that of the general population. More effective interventions that reduce smoking in the medical community should be implemented immediately so that physicians will be better able to fulfil their function as role models for the general population.
