Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate tobacco cessation interventions by Swedish dental hygienists and their perception of the importance of tobacco cessation to oral health. A questionnaire was mailed to 400 randomly selected dental hygienists (DH) in Sweden. The questions covered such topics as tobacco cessation interventions, perceived barriers, and their perception of the importance of tobacco cessation in relation to caries, gingivitis, periodontitis and dental implants. The response rate was 57%. Tobacco habits were routinely recorded by 94% of the respondents. 52% of the dental hygienists reported time constraints, 50% reported insufficient competence and 43% answered that they had lack of experience to work with tobacco cessation. All respondents perceived tobacco cessation to be an important determinant of treatment outcomes in patients with dental implants and periodontitis. Bivariate analysis showed an association between training courses in tobacco cessation and tobacco cessation interventions (OR 3.25, CI 95% 1.80-5.85). A logistic multivariate regression model disclosed two other factors significantly correlated with tobacco cessation interventions: competence (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.16-4.85), and experience (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.06-4.28). The analyses were adjusted for age, length of undergraduate training course, and dental care organization. The dental hygienists considered tobacco cessation to be very important in patients with periodontitis and in those with dental implants. Most of the DH in this study undertook some tobacco cessation interventions, though not extensive; the main barriers reported were lack of time, competence and experience.

瑞典牙科保健师的戒烟干预——一项问卷调查研究。
该研究的目的是调查瑞典牙科保健师的戒烟干预措施以及他们对戒烟对口腔健康重要性的看法。问卷邮寄给400随机选择的牙科保健师(DH)在瑞典。这些问题涵盖了戒烟干预措施、感知到的障碍以及他们对戒烟对龋齿、牙龈炎、牙周炎和种植牙的重要性的认识等主题。应答率为57%。94%的应答者定期记录了吸烟习惯。52%的牙科保健员报告时间有限,50%报告能力不足,43%回答说他们缺乏戒烟工作的经验。所有应答者都认为戒烟是种植牙和牙周炎患者治疗结果的重要决定因素。双变量分析显示,戒烟培训课程与戒烟干预之间存在关联(OR 3.25, CI 95% 1.80-5.85)。logistic多元回归模型揭示了另外两个与戒烟干预显著相关的因素:能力(OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.16-4.85)和经验(OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.06-4.28)。对年龄、本科培训课程长度和牙科保健机构进行了调整。牙科保健师认为戒烟对牙周炎患者和种植牙患者非常重要。在这项研究中,大多数卫生部采取了一些戒烟干预措施,尽管不是广泛的;报告的主要障碍是缺乏时间、能力和经验。
