          Abstract

          Introducción. Los pediatras se encuentran en una posición estratégica para actuar en la prevención del tabaquismo. Objetivos. Estimar la prevalencia del tabaquismo en residentes de pediatría, analizar los factores asociados, describir su conducta preventiva y evaluar las diferencias en la última década. Métodos. Estudio transversal, por encuesta anónima, autoadministrada, que incluyó a residentes de pediatría de ocho hospitales de la Argentina. Se evaluaron el hábito de fumar, los factores asociados, la actitud hacia el consumo de tabaco de los pacientes o los padres, y se compararon los resultados con los de 2002. Resultados. De 448 encuestados, 20,1% fumaban. No hubo diferencias signifcativas entre fumadores y no fumadores respecto del sexo, los hijos, el número de guardias y el tener un jefe fumador. El padre fumador fue un factor de riesgo para tabaquismo solo en las mujeres (OR 1,98; IC 95% 1,09 a 3,61; p= 0,01). Los que vivían en pareja fumaban menos (OR 0,57; IC 95% 0,34 a 0,96; p= 0,03). Solo 18,1% refrieron tener una conducta activa frente al tabaquismo de los pacientes, sin diferencias entre fumadores y no fumadores. No hubo diferencia con la prevalencia del tabaquismo de 2002, pero sí mayor proporción de residentes que aconsejaban (32,4% contra 26,1%; p <0,01) y advertían a sus pacientes (37,7% contra 18,6%; p <0,01), y que recibieron información durante su formación (63,6% contra 39,8%; p <0,01). Conclusiones. El 20,1% de los médicos residentes de pediatría eran fumadores, siendo más frecuente en las mujeres con un padre fumador. La conducta activa frente al tabaquismo de los pacientes o sus padres fue muy baja. Pese a las políticas ofciales, el tabaquismo en este grupo no se ha modifcado en la última década, aunque aumentó la proporción de quienes recibieron información durante su formación, y aconsejan y advierten a los pacientes sobre sus riesgos.

          Introduction. Pediatricians are in a strategic position to prevent smoking. Objectives. To estimate the prevalence of smoking among pediatric residents, analyze associated factors, describe preventive actions, and assess the differences observed over the past decade. Methods. Cross-sectional study with a self-administered, anonymous survey conducted among pediatric residents from eight Argentine hospitals. Smoking habit, associated factors, and attitude towards patients' or their parents' smoking were evaluated; results were compared to those obtained in 2002. Results. Out of 448 surveyed physicians, 20.1% smoked. There were no signifcant differences between smokers and non-smokers in terms of gender, having children, number of on-call shifts, and having a supervisor who smokes. Having a parent who smoked was a risk factor for tobacco use only among women (OR: 1.98; 95% CI: 1.09-3.61; p = 0.01). Surveyed residents living with a couple had a lower smoking rate (OR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.34-0.96; p = 0.03). Only 18.1% referred having an active behavior towards smoking patients, no differences were observed between smokers and non-smokers. In addition, there were no differences in smoking prevalence from 2002, but there was a higher rate of residents who advised their patients (32.4% versus 26.1%; p < 0.01) and warned them against smoking (37.7% versus 18.6%; p < 0.01), and of those who received information on this topic during their training (63.6% versus 39.8%; p < 0.01). Conclusions. Among resident pediatricians, 20.1% were smokers, with a higher prevalence among women with a father or mother who is a smoker. The rate of active behavior regarding patients or parents who smoke was very low. In spite of offcial policies, tobacco use in this group has not changed over the past decade, but there was an increase in the rate of those who received information during their training and of those who advised their patients of smoking risks.

          What factors are important for pediatric residents' smoking cessation counseling of parents?

          Pediatricians are expected to discuss the hazards of passive smoking and provide smoking cessation counseling (SCC) because passive smoking is known to have a direct negative effect on children's health. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of pediatric and medicine- pediatric residents at 2 training programs to identify resident-reported factors associated with higher confidence in and frequency of SCC. In this sample of 71 residents, 83% reported asking about parental smoking but only 36% reported counseling parents to quit smoking. Knowledge of smoking cessation resources was the factor most strongly associated with high confidence in and frequency of SCC. Research should be done to evaluate if improving awareness of smoking cessation resources for parents improves pediatricians' confidence in asking about parental smoking and the likelihood of advising parents to quit smoking.
