Training the Future Trainers - Intensifying Anti-smoking Education for a Better Community Health

Abstract:

To assess the knowledge about harm of smoking among medicine students; exploring the tobacco prevalence in students; training the future trainers in antismoking activity. Questionnaire study in 260 medicine-students (80 males, 180 females from general-medicine and college) before and after antismoking training. Smoking is intensively spread among students (active smokers 33.84%, ex-smokers 15.38%). Smoking was much higher among males compared to women (51.25% vs. 26.1%). 68.1% were moderate-consumers (10 cigarettes/day) and 31.8% heavy-smokers (³20 cigarettes/day). 56% of smokers began smoking between 13-18 year-old and 25% before 16. 65.9% had at least 1 parent-smoker in their family, 45.4% had a partner/close friend who smoked. 89.2% from the entire group were eager to improve their skills for a future antismoking activity. We found 42.6% alcohol users. Initially medicine-students’ knowledge concerning the side effects of smoking was insufficient (20% correct answers). We repeated the test after 2 h course and 1-week stage in Pulmonology Clinic. After training, the amount of knowledge in the field increased impressively (88.4% correct answers). We used modern study techniques: case based and team based learning. 31.8% of trained students stopped smoking after our course.The medicine students represent a crucial segment in the fight against smoking. Information acquired at the pulmonology stages/courses had a huge contribution in smoking cessation and their antismoking activity. Training the future health promoters is a priority and may be an issue for a smoke-free behavior in general population.
