Abstract

Introduction: More than 1/6 of the total population worldwide smoke, and it is estimated that cigarette smoking will be the most common preventable cause of death in 2020. Anti-smoking advice from general practitioners is very effective, and recent evidence-based guidelines urge general practitioners to advise all patients against smoking at every opportunity. This study aimed to identify general practitioners’ knowledge regarding smoking, as well as their readiness to give counseling to their patients to stop smoking.

Methods: This survey was carried out using a WHO-based questionnaire. According to sample size estimations, it was given to the 5140 general practitioners selected by quota sampling from all 25600 general physicians registered in the country at the time of the study.

Results: Seventy-four percent of the studied doctors were male and 16% smoked, while another 4.6% had a past history of smoking. Thirty percent of subjects felt that they were ready to give counseling to patients on how to stop smoking, but only 9% had received any formal training regarding smoking cessation approaches in medical school or during post-graduate programs, while 80% perceived such training as necessary. Smoking cessation intervention during visits was associated with increased patient satisfaction with their care among those who smoked.

Conclusion: Improvement of knowledge and attitude of doctors regarding smoking cessation could have an important impact on reduction of smoking in community and improvement of public health so, providing appropriate training in medical schools or postgraduate programs is a priority.
