吸烟每年给全球经济造成数十亿美元的损失，并导致数百万人死亡。尽管在国家、区域和全球各级努力控制吸烟，但仍有许多工作要做。卫生保健工作者对其吸烟患者进行短暂干预是一种可以在任何地方实施的策略，只要卫生保健工作者接受过培训并积极倾向于戒烟。因此，本研究旨在评估阿布贾卫生保健工作者对戒烟服务的知识、态度和提供情况。采用横断面描述性研究设计。通过问卷调查收集所需信息。使用Stata统计软件第11版描述数据，并使用卡方检验确定知识、感知、戒烟服务的提供与社会人口学特征之间的关系。只有5%的答复者曾经接受过烟草控制方面的培训。对促进戒烟的干预措施的认识是：电话戒烟热线（11%）、药物治疗（30.5%）、行为治疗（34.2%）和简短干预（51%）。只有4.3%的受访者不愿意为客户提供戒烟服务。在被调查者中，医生和男性与更高的戒烟知识相关（p < 0.05）。综上所述，受访者对提供戒烟服务的认知和能力较差。有必要提高卫生保健工作者提供戒烟服务的认识和能力。关键词：吸烟；卫生保健工作者；知识;知觉;态度;戒烟;阿布贾;尼日利亚
Cigarette smoking cost the global economy billions of dollars and results in the death of millions of people yearly. Despite efforts at national, regional and global levels to control cigarette smoking, there is still much yet to be achieved. Brief intervention by health care workers to their smoking patients is one strategy that could be conducted anywhere, if the health care workers are trained and positively disposed towards smoking cessation. Thus, this study was designed to assess the knowledge, attitude and delivery of smoking cessation services among health care workers in Abuja. A cross sectional descriptive study design was used. Questionnaire was used to collect required information. Stata statistical software version 11 was used to describe the data and determine associations between knowledge, perception, delivery of smoking cessation services and sociodemographic characteristics using chi-square test. Only 5% of respondents ever received training on tobacco control. Awareness of interventions that enhance smoking cessation was: telephone quit lines (11%), pharmacotherapy (30.5%), behaviour therapy (34.2%) and brief intervention (51%). Only 4.3% of the respondents were not willing to support clients with tobacco cessation services. Being a physician and male were associated with higher knowledge of smoking cessation among the respondents (p < 0.05). In conclusion, there was poor perception and low capacity toprovide smoking cessation services among the respondents. There is need to improve the perception and capacity of health care workers to provide smoking cessation services.
