Os pacientes fumantes também responderam o Teste de Dependência à Nicotina de Fagerström. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e do teste Qui-quadrado ao nível de significância de 5%.RESULTADOS: A amostra compreendeu 442 pacientes, sendo que 93 (21,04%) eram fumantes. Verificou-se associação significativa entre fumo, escolaridade e renda, sendo que quanto menor a escolaridade, maior a frequência de fumantes (p=0,026), e a frequência de não fumantes esteve associada a uma maior renda (p=0,021). Em relação ao papel do cirurgião-dentista na cessação do tabagismo, 97,8% dos fumantes acredita que este deve dar orientações sobre os danos provocados pelo cigarro, mas 36,6% não receberam informações ou conselhos do dentista.CONCLUSÃO: O estudo encontrou alta frequência de fumantes entre os homens e associação entre tabagismo, escolaridade e renda. A maioria dos fumantes gostaria de parar de fumar e tentou pelo menos uma vez. A maior parte da amostra acredita que o cirurgião-dentista deve fornecer informações e aconselhamento sobre a cessação do tabagismo.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2017-11-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/2682210.15448/1980-6523.2017.2.26822Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 32 No. 2 (2017); 66-71Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 32 n. 2 (2017); 66-711980-65230102-946010.15448/1980-6523.2017.2reponame:Revista odonto ciência (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/26822/16166Copyright (c) 2017 Revista Odonto Ciênciainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPithan, Sílvia AtaideDummel, CarolinaDullius, Ângela Isabel dos Santos2018-04-04T16:33:36Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/26822Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2018-04-04T16:33:36Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
