“…It is known model role in the face of this disease, associating it with a greater probability of smoking cessation. 5 , 6 , 7 Active tobacco use remains low compared to other surveys with a prevalence of 21% similar to general population. 5 , 12 , 20 Despite these optimistic results, an increase of 1.6% is observed compared to previous surveys of these health professionals.…”

“… 5 , 12 , 20 Despite these optimistic results, an increase of 1.6% is observed compared to previous surveys of these health professionals. 7 This increase could be justified by the reduction in interest in smoking, the high workloads of respiratory health professionals motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the relaxation in the last 10 years in the application of measures tobacco control in our country. 12 , 16 , 17 Also, the appearance of new tobacco products could encourage young respiratory health professionals to start in tobacco use.…”

“…Although physicians are uniquely positioned to promote smoking cessation, their real-life attitudes towards cigarette smoking in their patients are influenced by many factors, including professional education and specialty [ 13 , 14 ]. While pulmonologists, ENT specialists, and cardiologists declare a high level of interest in the cigarette smoking of their patients, ophthalmologists, infectious disease specialists, and general surgeons may express little interest in patients’ smoking habits [ 15 ].…”

Purpose:The aim of the present study was to assess attitudes of Polish neurologists towards cigarette smoking and their real-life anti-smoking practices. Methods: A study questionnaire was constructed, and distributed among Polish neurologists (n = 101; 73% females). More than two thirds (70%) of the study group worked in in-patient neurological wards with separate stroke units. Results: Seventy five percent of the study group documented the smoking status of their patients in medical files. Two thirds of the study group collected data on patient's cigarette smoking during each visit. Only 54% and 22% of study participants routinely assessed the severity of tobacco dependence and diagnosed tobacco dependence according to the ICD-10 criteria, respectively. Two thirds of physicians declared routinely using any anti-smoking intervention, but only 12% used the recommended 5' A (Ask, Advice, Assess, Assist, Arrange) model of behavioral intervention and only 11% introduced Evidence Based Medicine (EBM)-supported pharmacotherapy. The vast majority of study participants (80%) did not try to increase their professional skills in anti-smoking interventions. Conclusions: Real-life anti-smoking practices among Polish neurologists are generally unsatisfactory and do not follow EBM-based guidelines. The low percentage of neurologists who diagnose and treat nicotine dependence may negatively impact the efficacy of secondary stroke prevention in Poland.

“…Clinicians also identify limited knowledge of TUDT modalities and guidelines, stigma, fatalism, and a perception that cessation is primarily the responsibility of the patient as barriers to providing clinical support for TUDT ( 7 ). Although pulmonologists agree that TUDT education is an essential component of pulmonary training and believe they should be offering this service, many lack the requisite knowledge and skills to provide high-quality TUDT ( 14 – 16 ).…”

Background Tobacco use is undertreated in the medical setting. One driver may be inadequate tobacco use disorder treatment (TUDT) training for clinicians in specialties treating tobacco-dependent patients. Objective We sought to evaluate the current state of TUDT training for diverse professionals and how these skills are assessed in credentialing exams. Methods We performed a focused review of current educational practices, evidence-based strategies, and accreditation exam contents focused on TUDT. Results Among medical students, participants in reviewed studies reported anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours of TUDT training throughout their 4-year programs, most often in the form of didactic sessions. Similarly, little TUDT training was reported at the post-graduate (residency, fellowship, continuing medical education) levels, and reported training was typically delivered as time-based (expected hours of instruction) rather than competency-based (demonstration of mastery) learning. Multiple studies evaluated effective TUDT curricula at varied stages of training. More effective curricula incorporated longitudinal sessions and active learning, such as standardized patient encounters or proctored patient visits. Knowledge of TUDT is minimally evaluated on certification exams. For example, the American Board of Internal Medicine blueprint lists TUDT as <2% of one subtopic on both the internal medicine and pulmonary exams. Conclusion TUDT training for most clinicians is minimal, does not assess competency, and is minimally evaluated on certification exams. Effective, evidence-based TUDT training incorporating active learning should be integrated into medical education at all levels, with attention paid to inclusion on subsequent certifying exams.
