Abstract

Background: Globally, tobacco is among the leading factors attributable to death. The nonteaching staff plays a pivotal role in making a campus a "tobacco-free zone." The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of an educational training program conducted on the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) 2003 among nonteaching staff of a tertiary care hospital.

Methods and materials: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 500 nonteaching staff of a tertiary care hospital in the Raebareli district of Uttar Pradesh, India. An educational training program on COTPA 2003 was conducted in collaboration with the State Tobacco Control Cell. Data were collected before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the training program. A paired t-test was applied to compare both knowledge scores. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors associated with knowledge scores.

Results: Around 187 (37.4%) security personnel, 198 (39.6%) housekeeping staff and 115 (23%) hospital attendants participated in the study. The pre-test mean (± standard deviation (SD)) knowledge score was 4.91 ± 1.59 whereas post-test mean (± SD) knowledge score was 7.91 ± 1.42. The pre-test knowledge score was associated with residence, age, and history of tobacco consumption of study participants. The female gender was associated with the pre-test knowledge score having a standardized coefficient -0.49 (P value = 0.009). The post-test knowledge score was associated with a history of tobacco consumption with a standardized coefficient of 0.42 (P value = 0.012).

Conclusion: The educational training program improved the knowledge of the study participants with maximum improvement among the housekeeping staff. The history of tobacco consumption emerged as a significant factor affecting knowledge even after the training program.

某三级医院非教学人员《COTPA法》知识教育培训计划的有效性
背景:在全球范围内,烟草是导致死亡的主要因素之一。非教学人员在使校园成为“无烟区”方面发挥着关键作用。本研究的目的是评估在一家三级护理医院的非教学人员中开展的关于《2003年卷烟和其他烟草制品法》(COTPA)的教育培训计划的有效性。方法和材料:在印度北方邦Raebareli区一家三级护理医院的500名非教学人员中进行了一项基于医院的横断面研究。与国家烟草控制小组合作,开展了一项关于《2003年控烟行动纲领》的教育培训方案。数据收集于训练计划之前(前测)和之后(后测)。采用配对t检验比较两种知识得分。采用多元线性回归分析确定影响知识得分的因素。结果:约187名(37.4%)保安人员、198名(39.6%)家政人员和115名(23%)医院服务员参与了研究。前测平均值(±标准差(SD))为4.91±1.59,后测平均值(±SD)为7.91±1.42。测试前知识得分与研究参与者的居住地、年龄和烟草消费史有关。女性与前测知识得分呈正相关,标准化系数为-0.49 (P值= 0.009)。测验后知识得分与吸烟史相关,标准化系数为0.42 (P值= 0.012)。结论:教育培训计划提高了研究参与者的知识,其中以家政人员的提高最大。即使在培训计划之后,烟草消费历史也成为影响知识的重要因素。
