Abstract

Connaissances, attitudes et comportements des médecins estoniens et finlandais envers le tabagisme Objectifs: Comparer les habitudes de consommation de tabac, les attitudes et les opinions concernant le tabagisme et la cessation tabagique parmi les médecins estoniens et finlandais. Méthodes: Enquête par questionnaire auto administré, auprès de 2 480 médecins estoniens et de 2 075 médecins finlandais. Résultats: La prévalence du tabagisme était plus élevée parmi les médecins estoniens que parmi leurs collègues finlandais, tant pour les hommes (18,6% et 6,7%) que pour les femmes (6,6% et 3,6%). Les médecins en Finlande ont accepté plus souvent qu’en Estonie l’idée que le tabagisme est très nuisible pour leur santé, qu’il est de leur responsabilité de convaincre les gens de cesser de fumer et que la prévention du tabagisme devrait être un sujet normalement abordé dans la formation des professionnels de la santé. Dans les deux pays, les médecins non-fumeurs avaient une attitude plus défavorable envers le tabagisme que les médecins fumeurs. Conclusion: L’attitude des médecins concernant le tabagisme et la cessation tabagique est importante car ils servent de modèles pour leurs patients et ils jouent un rôle-clé pour assurer que le système de santé offre un environnement sans tabac. L’Estonie surtout a besoin d’améliorer la formation des médecins pour inciter ces derniers à interroger leurs patients sur leurs habitudes tabagiques et pour enseigner aux étudiants et aux internes comment informer leurs patients sur les programmes de cessation tabagique.
