Development of Smoking Cessation Training Program for Dental Team

为了促进日本牙科诊所的戒烟活动，我们制定了戒烟培训计划。我们进行了调查，全科医生的牙科学校的校友会和牙医在日本医疗牙科烟草控制协会（JMDATC）谁对烟草控制持积极态度。对校友会牙医的调查显示，吸烟率（男性29%，女性2%）明显低于日本人口;许多人（65%）向患者询问吸烟状况; 42%的男性牙医建议患者戒烟; 40%的男性牙医知道吸烟与牙周病的关系。结果表明，日本牙医可能在吸烟干预中发挥重要作用。JMDATC的牙医报告说，患者的抵抗/投诉、所需的时间以及缺乏患者教育材料是将戒烟纳入日常实践的主要障碍。在日本提高对牙周病的认识，克服新设计的牙周病患者戒烟计划中的障碍，可以帮助牙医选择和实施适当的干预措施，以他们的日常实践。

In order to promote smoking cessation activity in dental clinic in Japan, we have developed a smoking cessation training program. We conducted surveys in general practitioners of an alumni association of a dental school and dentists in the Japanese Medical-Dental Association for Tobacco Control (JMDATC) who have positive attitudes towards tobacco control. The survey of dentists in an alumni association showed that smoking rates (29 % in men and 2 % in women) were significantly less than those in Japanese population ; many (65 %) have asked smoking status to their patients ; 42 % of male dentists have advised their patients to quit ; and 40 % of them were aware of relationship between smoking and periodontal disease. The results indicated that Japanese dentists may play an important role in smoking intervention. Dentists in the JMDATC reported that patient resistance/complaints, amount of time required, and lack of availability of patient education materials were major barriers to incorporating smoking cessation into daily practice. Increasing awareness of periodontal disease in Japan and overcoming the barriers in the newly designed cessation program for periodontal patients could help dentists select and implement appropriate interventions to their daily practice.
