Abstract

Background: Behavioural risk factors reduction is a key to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) control. The doctors are educated and aware of society, yet their lifestyle and work habits have led them to suffer from NCDs. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of the behavioral risk factors of major NCDs among doctors working at Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH). Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included 145 doctors working at CMCH from April 2020 to September 2020. A structured self-administered questionnaire based on the WHO STEPS instrument for NCDs risks factors surveys was used to collect data. Results: Out of 145 respondents, 104 doctors (71.7%) were males, and 41 doctors (28.3%) were females. Most doctors (50.3%) were aged 23 to 35 years and 29.7% were 35-44 years. The proportion of doctors currently smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol, being sedentary in daily life, and taking low vegetables and fruits was 8.3%, 8.3%, 18.6%, and 72.4%, respectively. No female doctor reported smoking or drinking. Ninety-one (62.8%) of doctors had one risk habit and 17.2% with two risk habits. Conclusion: It is desirable that doctors voluntarily strive to have a favourable lifestyle and that medical institutions actively enlighten doctors’ working at their institutions about this issue.

三级医院医生自我报告非传染性疾病行为风险因素的模式

背景:减少行为风险因素是控制非传染性疾病的关键。医生受过教育，了解社会，但他们的生活方式和工作习惯使他们遭受非传染性疾病的折磨。本研究旨在确定吉大港医学院附属医院(CMCH)医生主要非传染性疾病行为危险因素的流行情况。材料与方法:本横断面研究纳入了2020年4月至2020年9月在CMCH工作的145名医生。采用基于世卫组织STEPS非传染性疾病风险因素调查工具的结构化自我管理问卷收集数据。结果:145名受访医生中，男性104名(71.7%)，女性41名(28.3%)。23 ~ 35岁占50.3%，35 ~ 44岁占29.7%。目前吸烟、饮酒、日常久坐、少吃蔬菜水果的比例分别为8.3%、8.3%、18.6%和72.4%。没有女医生报告吸烟或饮酒。91名医生(62.8%)有一种危险习惯，17.2%有两种危险习惯。结论:医生应主动努力养成良好的生活方式，医疗机构应积极对在本机构工作的医生进行这方面的教育。上海医科大学医学院;月,(2);2022年7月;14 - 17页
