Summary: | Objective. To evaluate the self-perception of cardiology residents in Argentina regarding their abilities to help their patients stop smoking, as well as their opinions about their knowledge and skills in this area. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out using secondary data from a study carried out in five Latin American countries and Spain, focusing on the information provided by cardiology residents in Argentina. Discrete variables were expressed as median and interquartile range, and categorical variables were expressed as percentages, and were analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, depending on the relative frequency of the expected values. Results. 447 residents participated; 87.5% routinely provided brief advice to quit smoking, and 11.6% used validated questionnaires to assess the degree of addiction. Furthermore, 32.1% stated that they prescribed pharmacological treatment, but 53.1% were only familiar with a single drug. When asked about their self-perception of getting their patients to stop smoking, the median response was 5 (scale from 1 to 10); only 13.7% responded with a score of 8 or more. Conclusions. The present study suggests that cardiology residents in Argentina recognize the importance of carrying out smoking cessation interventions, but a high proportion of them do not feel qualified to do so.
Objetivo. Evaluar la autopercepción de los residentes de cardiología en Argentina con respecto a sus habilidades para que sus pacientes dejen de fumar, así como sus opiniones sobre sus conocimientos y habilidades en esta área. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal a partir de los datos secundarios de un estudio realizado en cinco países de Latinoamérica y España, centrándose en la información proporcionada por los residentes de cardiología en Argentina. Las variables discretas se expresaron como mediana y rango intercuartílico, las variables categóricas se expresaron como porcentajes, y se analizaron mediante la prueba de chi cuadrado o la prueba exacta de Fisher, según la frecuencia relativa de los valores esperados. Resultados. Participaron 447 residentes; el 87,5% proporcionaba rutinariamente consejos breves para dejar de fumar y el 11,6% utilizaba cuestionarios validados para evaluar el grado de adicción. Además, el 32,1% manifestó que prescribía tratamiento farmacológico, pero el 53,1% solo estaba familiarizado con un solo fármaco. Cuando se les preguntó sobre su autoperce |
