“…However, less than 40% of the students reported they have received such training during their undergraduate studies [12,15,16,17]. Another, recent GHPSS study conducted in Lebanon among health professions students showed that prevalence of smoking among nursing students was 26.9%, and that nine in 10 health professions students believed that they should receive training on smoking cessation techniques, percentages similar to those found within the context of our study [18].…”

We conducted the GHPSS (Global Health Professions Student Survey) to obtain information regarding health profession students’ smoking habits and perceptions, exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) as well as level of knowledge and training on tobacco use and smoking cessation counseling. GHPSS is a survey for third-year students in the following fields: health visitors, dentistry, medicine, nursing and/or pharmacy. The highest tobacco use prevalence rate and exposure to SHS were recorded among health visitor students with 46.4% and 33.3% respectively. The majority of the respondents believed that their profession serves as a role model for their patients. Formal training on cessation counseling ranged between 10.7% for health visitor students to 22.4% for nursing students. The relatively high percentage of health profession students who currently smoke and the alarmingly high percentage of those exposed to SHS indicate lack of concerted efforts for implementation and effective enforcement of the anti-tobacco policy measures. Despite its significance, formal training on cessation counseling for students is strikingly low. These results indicate the urgent need to train health professional students on tobacco cessation counseling and educate them on the dangers of tobacco use, SHS and the positively influential role they can play to affect their patients’ smoking habits.

Health professionals in Greece have a special role in the health care system and the main responsibility to perform health promotional activities.…”

“…On the other hand, theatre nurses, who constitute a basic part of the surgical team, have different educational backgrounds. This means that a theatre nurse might have graduated from university (normally with strict admission criteria) or from the technologically-orientated Technological Educational Institutes (Patelarou et al 2009). Although a number of studies have investigated the work relations between the medical and the nursing staff in other countries (Wicks 1998, Walby et al 1994, no previous studies have examined interprofessional relationships in Greek clinical settings.…”

The aim of this study was to translate the Disagreement and Aggression in the Operating Theatre Scale (DAOTS) into Greek and investigate the frequency of perceived conflicts, the sources of disagreement and the suggested methods of coping with them within and among professional groups in operating theatres in Greece. The results of this study support the reliability and validity of the DAOTS. The majority of the respondents had witnessed episodes of aggressive behaviour and/or disagreement during the last six months. Physicians more frequently revealed an aggressive behaviour towards a colleague, while nurses were found to be witnesses of a conflict between different professional teams. Daily/weekly disagreements among respondents about availability of equipment, theatre time, changes in the list order and availability of surgical staff were reported. Additionally, hospital type and years of professional experience are considered to affect the prevalence of exposure to a disagreement.
