dc.description.abstractIt was aimed to investigate smoking habits, knowledge about and attitudes towards tobacco control among nurses and midwifes at primary care settings in Turkey. A cross-sectional survey was applied to nurses/midwives at primary care settings. 1063 surveys were analyzed in the study. Mean age of nurses/midwives was 33.7 +/- 6.3. Current, former and never smokers' ratio among nurses/midwives were 30.1 %, 10.6 % and 59.3 %, respectively. Knowledge of nurses/midwives was observed as quite high. Majority of never smokers significantly marked as higher agreement with items related to knowledge level about smoking by than ever smokers. The lowest ratio was observed in agreement with item of "Pharmacotherapy is efficient for smoking cessation" (46.6 %). the highest ratio was observed in agreement with item of "Health professionals should routinely advise patients to avoid smoking around their children" (97.5 %). Significant differences were observed in statement of agreement with items related to attitudes of the nurses/midwives towards smoking and tobacco control between never and ever smokers. Almost all of the nurses/midwives had no any training course on smoking cessation practice (99.6 %). Majority of them were not competent for preparedness in smoking cessation (competent: 17.4 % vs. incompetent or somewhat: 82.6 %). In conclusion, knowledge and skills in smoking cessation practice and attitudes towards smoking and tobacco control in nurses/midwives were observed as low and somewhat high. Therefore, an appropriate education program should be instituted to increase motivation of them about their role in society and smoking cessation practice.en_US
