背景- 吸烟是一个重大的公共卫生问题。禁止在公共机构吸烟的立法是存在的，但没有得到严格执行，特别是在卫生设施。因此，卫生工作者在控制吸烟方面可发挥关键作用，因为他们与病人接触，而且在卫生事务方面具有信誉和道德权威。他们可以通过自己的建议和自己在医院戒烟来帮助病人。我们的研究的目的是确定吸烟的患病率在大学医院Sahloul在苏塞和他们的态度和行为与吸烟。- 数据来自2013-2014年期间使用自填式问卷进行的描述性横断面研究，包括Sousse. Sahloul大学医院所有服务和实验室的卫生人员。- 参与率为71%（768/1081）。我们的研究人群主要为女性（51%），平均年龄为37.8（+/- 11.3）岁。吸烟的总患病率为21%。男性的失业率（38.8%）明显高于女性（4.6%）。医生/药剂师的患病率较高（29.5%）。超过一半的吸烟者（58%）在19至25岁之间开始吸烟。27.4%的吸烟者对尼古丁的依赖程度为中度，18.3%的吸烟者对尼古丁的依赖程度为重度。平均依赖性评分为4.1 +/- 2.4 [0-9]，中位数为4.0。三分之二的吸烟者（66.5%）报告在工作场所吸烟。- 面对烟草问题，卫生机构应找到解决办法，防止在医院吸烟。为了使我们的医院成为一个无烟的地方，似乎有必要对医院工作人员进行培训，让他们参与反烟草措施，并帮助吸烟者戒烟。(c)2017年SPLF。由Elsevier Masson SAS出版。All rights reserved.
BACKGROUND. - Smoking is a major public health problem. Legislation banning smoking in public institutions exists but is not strictly enforced, particularly in health facilities. Therefore health workers have a crucial role to play in the control of smoking on account of their contact with patients and their credibility and moral authority in health matters. They can help patients by their advice and by abstaining from smoking in the hospital themselves. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of smoking among medical staff at the University Hospital of Sahloul in Sousse and their attitudes and behaviour with regard to smoking.METHODS. - The data came from a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted during the year 2013-2014 using a self-administered questionnaire and included the health personnel of all services and laboratories of the University Hospital of Sahloul in Sousse.RESULTS. - The participation rate was 71% (768/1081). Our study population was predominantly female (51%) with a mean age of 37.8 (+/- 11.3) years. The overall prevalence of smoking was 21%. It was significantly higher among men (38.8%) than women (4.6%). This prevalence was higher among physicians/pharmacists (29.5%). More than half the smokers (58%) started smoking between the age of 19 and 25 years. Nicotine dependence was moderate among 27.4% and strong among 18.3% of smokers. The average dependence score was 4.1 +/- 2.4 [0-9] with a median of 4.0. Two-thirds of smokers (66.5%) reported smoking in the workplace.CONCLUSION. - Confronted with the problem of tobacco, health institutions should find solutions for the prevention of smoking in hospitals. It seems necessary to train and involve hospital staff in anti-tobacco measures and to help smokers to quit in order to make our hospital a tobacco smoke free space. (c) 2017 SPLF.
