Perception and attitudes of dental students towards tobacco use and smoking cessation counseling
Öz: Objective: Smoking is a key risk factor for several diseases and disorders, as well as the primary modifiable factor for a variety of oral problems, such as malignant disorders and mouth cancer. The purpose of this survey is to assess Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry students' tobacco use attitudes, knowledge, and views concerning smoking cessation counseling. Methods: A 21-question online survey was done using Google Forms and sent to 3rd, 4th, and 5thgrade stu- dents. A total of 309 students, 107 from the third grade, 93 from the fourth grade, and 109 from the fifth grade, completed the questionnaire, which was meant to measure students' attitudes and awareness of tobacco and tobacco products. Results: A total of 107 third grades, 93 fourth grades, and 109 fifth grades were discovered among the 309 participants in our study. Furthermore, males made up 33% of the participants, while females made up 66%. According to statistics, most students recognize that they are role models for society and believe they should get smoking cessation counseling training. However, according to statistics, just 7% of students obtain this type of formal education. Conclusion: According to our findings, while dentistry students are aware of the negative consequences of tobacco, there is a lack of instruction in smoking prevention and control.
Anahtar Kelime: Diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin tütün kullanımı ve sigara bırakma danışmanlığına ilişkin algı ve tutumları
Öz: Amaç: Sigara kullanımı periodontal hastalıklar, malign bozukluklar ve ağız kanserleri olmak üzere birçok oral durum için önemli bir risk faktörü olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu anlamda sigarayı bırakma konusunda diş he- kimleri tarafından uygulanan sağlık stratejileri etkili olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı dişhekimliği öğrencilerinin sigara bırakma danışmanlığı konusunda tütün kullanım tutumlarının, bilgi ve algılarının yapılan anket ile de - ğerlendirilmesidir. Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza Marmara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nde eğitim gören 107 3. sınıf , 93 4. sınıf ve 109 5. sınıf olmak üzere toplam 309 öğrenci hazırladığımız 20 sorudan oluşan anketi cevaplandırmışlardır. Bu anket ile öğrencilerin tütün ve tütün ürünleri kullanımı ile ilgili tutumları ve farkındalıkları değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza dahil edilen 309 katılımcının 107’si 3. sınıf, 93’ü 4. sınıf, 109’u ise 5. sınıf öğrencisi olarak bulgulanmıştır. Bunun yanısıra katılımcı öğrencilerin %33’ ü erkek, %66’sı ise kadın olarak saptanmıştır. Yapılan istatistiksel analizler öğrencilerin çoğunun toplum için rol model olduklarının farkında olduğunu ve sigarayı bırakma danışmanlığı konusunda eğitim almaları gerektiğini bildiklerini gösterdi. Ancak istatistiksel analizler, öğrencilerin sadece %7’sinin bu konuda resmi eğitim aldıklarını göstermiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre diş hekimliği öğrencileri tütünün zararlı etkilerinin farkında olsalar da, sigarayı önleme ve kontrol konusunda eğitim eksikliği bulunmaktadır.
