Abstract

Background: To evaluate the effect of doctor's cessation order Methods: From January 1989 to December 1990, Total 1981 patients (male 922, female 1059), who visited OPD of Daedong hospital were selected to investigate the cigarette smoking habits and the success rates of the physician's cessation orders. Results: 1) Among male patients, 64.43% and 27.00% revealed as smoke and non-smoker, respectively and and 8.57% as ex-smoker. In the 20 years old or less age group smoker were 36.11%. 2) Among female patients, the rates of smoker were only 2.83%, ex-smoker were 0.38%. No female patient smoked under 20 years old. 3) As compared with the number of daily smoked cigarettes among the male patients, patient who smoked less than 10 cigarettes were in 2.69%, 11-20 cigarettes in 39.23%, 21-40 cigarettes in 46.30%, more than 40 cigarettes in 11.78%, under 20 years old age gorup the number of smoked cigarettes were 11.54%, 61.54%, 23.08%, 3.84% respectively. Among female patients, smoker were only 37 patients and the number of daily used cigarette were 2.7%, 67.57%, 24.32%, 5.41% respectively. 4) As compared with systemic disease and the smoking habits, female excluded from statistics because of too small number of smoker. Among male patients ex-smoker associated with respiratory disease were 15.21% which was much higher than other disease group (4.35%-8.11%), and among cardiovascular diseae patients, smoker were 81.08% & among cardiovascular disease patients, smoker were 81.08% & among gastrointestinal disease patient 68.93% and among respiratory disease patient 60.84%. In respiratory disease patients group 16.25% smoked more than 40 cigarettes dialy and 13.01% in gastrointestinal disease patients group. 5) Among patients who treated more than 3 months via OPD the success rates of the physcian's cessation order were 62.03% of male patients (we excluded female patients) and there is no gross difference in each age group, but it was highest as 75% in 41-60 years old age group. As compared with difference of systeic disease, the success rate were highest in respiratory disease patients as 78.13% and lowest in gastrointestinal disease patients as 49.94% Conclusion: The smoking rates among the out patients including male and female of internal medical department of General Hospital were same as the general population. Although the sample size was small, on account of the success rates of physician's cessation orders were more than half, we think the cessation recommendation by physician's order is very effective. And we think the cessation recommendation are more effective. And we think the cessation recommendation are more effective than the ex-smoking education in the excluded patients due to fail to follow up more than 3 months.

연구배경 : 흡연으로 인한 건강의 위해를 줄이기위한 금연운동의 일환으로 의사의 금연권고에 대한 환자의 순응도와 효율성을 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 1989년 1월부터 1990년 말까지 2년간 부산 대동 병원 내과에서 통원 치료한 환자 남자 922명, 여자 1059명 도합 1981명을 대상으로 해서 흡연 양상과 의사 권고에 의한 금연 성공률을 조사해 보았다. 결과: 1) 남자 환자에서 현 흡연률은 64.43%, 비흡연자는 27.00%, 기금연자는 8.57% 이었다. 20세이하군에선 흡연률이 36.11% 이였다. 2) 여자 환자에선 현흡연률이 겨우 2.83%, 비흡연자는 96.79%, 기금연자는 0.38% 이였다. 20세 이하군에선 흡연자가 1명도 없었다. 3) 일일 흡연량은 남자에서 10개 이하가 2.69%, 11~20개가 39.23%, 21~39개가 46.30%, 40개 이상이 11.78% 이였으며, 20세 이하에서는 각기 11.54%, 61.54%, 23.08%, 3.84%로서 흡연량이 약간 적었다. 여자에선 흡연자수가 겨우 30명으로 너무 적었으나 각기 3.33%, 60.00%, 30.00%, 6.67% 이였다. 4) 계통적 질환군별 흡연 양상은 여자는 대상수효가 너무 적어서 제외하고 남자만에서 보았는데 기금연자가 호흡기계에서는 15.21%로서 타군에서 4.35%내지 8.11% 인데 비해서 월등히 높았고 (p<0.001), 현 흡연자는 순환기계 질환자군이 81.08%로 가장 높았다 (p=0.23), 소화기계 질환자군이 68.93%로 그 다음이고 호흡기계 질환자군은 60.84% 이었다. 흡연량에 있어서는 호흡기계 질환자군에서 하루에 40개 이상 흡연자가 16.25%로 가장 많았고 (p<0.05), 그 다음이 소화기계 질환자군으로 13.01% 이였다. 5) 금연 성공률은 흡연자로서 3개월 이상 계속 치료하는 자 중에서 여자는 제외했고 남자에서만 보았는데, 총체적으로 62.03% 이였으며 각 연령군별로 큰 차이는 없었으나, 41~60세군에서 75%로 가장 높았다 (p=0.19). 계통적 질병군별로는 호흡기계 질환군에서 78.13% (p<0.03) 인데 비해서 소화기계 질환군에선 41.94%로서 가장 저율이였다. 결론 : 이상을 총괄하면 종합병원 내과에서 통원 치료하는 환자들에서 남여 각기 현 흡연률은 일반인에서와 비슷하였다. 담당 의사의 권유에 의한 금연 성공률은 제한된 소수관찰대상자라는 특수조건이 있지만 과반수 이상의 순응도를 보였으므로 의사의 금연 설득이 상당한 효과를 보였다고 하겠다. 그리고 3개월 이상 치료를 계속하지 않아서 제외된 환자들에 대해서도 금연에 대한 일반 계몽교육이상의 효과는 있었을 것으로 추측된다.
