吸烟会导致许多健康问题，包括心肌梗塞、中风和外周血管疾病，并对心血管系统产生破坏性影响。这项研究的目的是评估：（1）约旦护士和医生的吸烟率，（2）按性别分列的吸烟率差异，以及（3）护士和医生对促进戒烟的学习需求。采用描述性横断面设计。随机选择了五家约旦医院; 164名护士（65.3%）和87名医生（34.7%）参与了研究。护士和医生的吸烟率分别为41.5%（n = 66）和43.6%（n = 38），男性吸烟者明显多于女性（比值比，5.45;置信区间，2.52-11.74 [P = .00]）。许多约旦护士和医生没有认识到吸烟的成瘾性，卫生专业人员没有接受过用于患者的戒烟方法的正式培训。大多数护士和医生认识到大学课程必须包括有关戒烟的信息。
Smoking causes many health problems, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, and has devastating effects on the cardiovascular system. This study was performed to assess: (1) the prevalence of smoking among Jordanian nurses and physicians, (2) the differences in prevalence of smoking by sex, and 3) nurses' and physicians' learning needs for promoting smoking cessation. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Five Jordanian hospitals were randomly selected; 164 nurses (65.3%) and 87 physicians (34.7%) participated in the study. Prevalence of smoking among nurses and physicians was 41.5% (n = 66) and 43.6% (n = 38), respectively, and significantly more men than women smoked (odds ratio, 5.45; confidence interval, 2.52-11.74 [P = .00]). Many Jordanian nurses and physicians do not recognize the addictive aspect of smoking, and health professionals receive no formal training in smoking cessation approaches to use with patients. Most nurses and physicians recognize that University curricula must include information about smoking cessation.
