This study was performed to assess: (1) the prevalence of smoking among Jordanian nurses and physicians, (2) the differences in prevalence of smoking by sex, and 3) nurses' and physicians' learning needs for promoting smoking cessation. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Five Jordanian hospitals were randomly selected; 164 nurses (65.3%) and 87 physicians (34.7%) participated in the study. Prevalence of smoking among nurses and physicians was 41.5% (n = 66) and 43.6% (n = 38), respectively, and significantly more men than women smoked (odds ratio, 5.45; confidence interval, 2.52-11.74 [P = .00]). Many Jordanian nurses and physicians do not recognize the addictive aspect of smoking, and health professionals receive no formal training in smoking cessation approaches to use with patients. Most nurses and physicians recognize that University curricula must include information about smoking cessation.</p>","PeriodicalId":77333,"journal":{"name":"Progress in cardiovascular nursing","volume":"23 2","pages":"79-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1751-7117.2008.07745.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27719680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is hard to believe that my tenure as President of AAHFN has ended and that this is my last President’s Column. This final column will recap my Presidential Address, entitled ‘‘Raising the Bar of Heart Failure Care: It’s Our Duty and Responsibility,’’ as presented at the 4th Annual Meeting in Boston, MA on June 27, 2008. In 2001, the Institute of Medicine published ‘‘Crossing the Quality Chasm’’ and stressed the importance of quality health care for patients and populations within the United States. Quality was defined as the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge. Using examples of the documented disconnect between what is known to be quality care and the actual norm in clinical practice, a number of attributes for improving quality were proposed, including patient-centered, safe, effective, efficient, equitable, and timely care. Since then, a vast number of quality initiatives have been implemented, including but not limited to, the Department of Health and Human Services National Quality Initiative (2001), the Joint Commission ORYX discharge criteria (2002), the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act (2003), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Deficit Reduction Act (2005), and the Tax Relief and Health Care Act (2006). Public reporting and financial incentives were implemented as tools to drive improvements in clinical quality, patient-centeredness, and efficiency. While these initiatives initially focused on the care provided to hospitalized patients, they have been expanded to outpatient care as well. Today, hospitals are ranked by the relative value of the care provided, and these rankings are expected to effect reimbursement as our government moves toward pay for performance. But have these quality initiatives closed the quality chasm? The answer is somewhat, depending on what parameter is evaluated and what metric is used to measure it. As an example, from Optimize-HF, having an established process for addressing the ORYX criteria and the ACC/AHA measures in heart failure results in performance improvement over time, as measured by improved adherence to the quality standards of care. However, research has demonstrated that not all of these measures translate into improved outcomes (reduced mortality and/ or hospitalization) posthospitalization. In fact, use of an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker at the time of discharge was the only item associated with a reduction in these clinical outcomes 60 to 90 days postdischarge. The importance and efficacy of b-blockers in heart failure to halt and/or reverse disease progression is well known, and yet none of the current performance measures include b-blockers, particularly specific evidencebased agents, as a qual","PeriodicalId":77333,"journal":{"name":"Progress in cardiovascular nursing","volume":"23 4","pages":"200-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1751-7117.2008.00019.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27887698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
