Sujetos y m¨¦todos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, mediante entrevista telef¨®nica personal a 430 profesionales aleatorizados a partir de una poblaci¨®n total de 4.800 colegiados de las Islas Baleares. La entrevista constaba de una parte dirigida a todos los colegiados independientemente de su h¨¢bito tab¨¢quico, en la que se valoraban variables demogr¨¢ficas y actitudes ante la problem¨¢tica del tabaquismo, tanto a nivel de creencias como de conductas y actitudes ante los pacientes, y otra parte espec¨ªficamente dirigida a fumadores y exfumadores con la intenci¨®n de caracterizar su h¨¢bito tab¨¢quico. Resultados: De los 430 encuestados el 80% son mujeres. La media de edad es de 38 a os. El 26,7% de la poblaci¨®n es fumador. Los fumadores preguntan menos por el h¨¢bito tab¨¢quico, se consideran peor formados en su manejo y aconsejan menos que abandonen el tabaco a sus pacientes que los no fumadores. Fuman menos en Atenci¨®n Primaria que en Atenci¨®n Especializada. Conclusi¨®n: Deber¨ªa incrementarse la formaci¨®n acad¨¦mica y laboral en tabaquismo ya que la mitad de los profesionales no se sienten preparados para su manejo. Introduction: This study aims to show the conducts, beliefs and attitudes towards smoking issues held by registered nurses in the Balearic Islands. Subjects and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted through personal phone interviews with 430 nursing professionals selected randomly from the 4,800 registered nurses in Balearic Islands. The first part of the interview was directed to all nurses, whether addicted to tobacco or not, and rated demographic variables and attitudes towards smoking issues in terms of beliefs, as well as conducts and attitudes towards patients. The second part was specifically addressed to smokers and ex-smokers in order to draw a profile of their smoking habits. Results: Women accounted for 80% of the 430 nurses surveyed and their average age was 38. Of all nurses, 26.7% were smokers, 20.5% were ex-smokers and 52.8% were non-smokers. Smokers ask their patients fewer questions about their smoking habits, consider themselves less well-informed about how to address the issue and advise their patients to quit smoking on fewer occasions than non-smoking nurses do. Primary care professionals smoke less than specialised nurses do. Conclusion: Further training in smoking issues needs to be conducted, as half the nurses do not feel properly %K H¨¢bito tab¨¢quico %K Enfermeras %K Conductas %K Creencias %K Actitudes %K smoking habits %K Nurses %K Conducts %K Beliefs %K Attitudes %U http://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1132-12962007000300005
