Özet:

 Physicians play a crucial role in reducing tobacco use. Besides many studies have shown doctors have a high prevalence of smoking. Dentistry students receive varying levels of education about the negative effects of smoking and tobacco products on general health and the risks of causing systemic and oral diseases. The present study aims to assess the prevalence of smoking, attitudes toward smoking, knowledge on smoking addiction treatments, and general self-efficacy of dentistry students. Utilizing a digital platform, the questionnaire form was constructed. The survey instrument employed in the research comprises two distinct sections: 1.Global Health Professionals Student Survey GHPSS, 2.General Self-Efficacy Scale. 260 dentistry students were included in the study. The prevalence of smoking was 24.7 for 3rd-grade, 30.0 for 4th grade, and 30.3 for 5th grade. The smoking status of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade dentistry students did not vary by educational levelp0.320. Self-efficacy levels do not differ significantly according to never smoked, still smoking, or quit smoking statusF0.317,p0.729. The majority of dentistry students participating in this study believe they have a responsibility to provide smoking cessation advicen228,88,3 and should receive specialized training on the topicn214,82,9. Attitudes toward smoking was related to general self-efficacy in some questions. In conclusion, the clinical education and self-efficacy levels of dentistry students had no effect on their smoking attitudes, according to the present study. Provisions should be made to increase dentistry students limited knowledge of smoking cessation methods and treatments, and psychosocial support services should be provided to increase their self-efficacy during undergraduate education.

 Hekimler tütün kullanımının azaltılmasında çok önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Ayrıca birçok çalışma, doktorların sigara içme prevalansının yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Diş hekimliği öğrencileri, sigara ve tütün ürünlerinin genel sağlık üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri ile sistemik ve ağız hastalıklarına neden olma riskleri konusunda farklı düzeylerde eğitim almaktadırlar. Bu çalışma, diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin sigara içme prevalansını, sigaraya karşı tutumlarını, sigara bağımlılığı tedavileri hakkındaki bilgilerini ve genel öz-yeterliliklerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Dijital bir platform kullanılarak anket formu oluşturulmuştur. Araştırmada kullanılan anket aracı iki ayrı bölümden oluşmaktadır: 1. Küresel Sağlık Profesyonelleri Öğrenci Anketi GHPSS, 2. Genel Öz-Yeterlilik Ölçeği. Çalışmaya 260 diş hekimliği öğrencisi dâhil edilmiştir. Sigara içme sıklığı 3. sınıf için 24.7, 4. sınıf için 30.0 ve 5. sınıf için 30.3tür. Üçüncü, dördüncü ve beşinci sınıf diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin sigara içme durumu, eğitim düzeyine göre değişmedi p0.320. Öz-yeterlilik düzeyleri hiç sigara içmeyenler, hala içenler ve sigarayı bırakanlar arasında anlamlı farklılık göstermedi F0.317 p0.729. Bu çalışmaya katılan diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin büyük çoğunluğu sigarayı bırakma konusunda tavsiye verme sorumlulukları olduğuna n228,88,3 ve bu konuda özel eğitim almaları gerektiğine n214,82,9 inanmaktaydı. Sigara içmeye yönelik tutum bazı sorularda genel öz-yeterlilik ile ilişkiliydi. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmaya göre diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin klinik eğitim ve öz-yeterlilik düzeylerinin sigara içme tutumları üzerinde bir etkisi olmamıştır. Diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin sigarayı bırakma yöntemleri ve tedavileri konusunda kısıtlı olan bilgilerini artıracak düzenlemeler yapılmalı ve lisans eğitimleri süresince öz-yeterliliklerini artıracak psikososyal destek hizmetleri sağlanmalıdır.
