RESUMEN

Objetivo:

En mayo de 2005 entró en vigor la prohibición de fumar en el servicio de urgencias del Hospital Fundación Alcorcón. El objetivo de nuestro estudio es analizar las consecuencias que ha tenido la aplicación de dicha norma entre los Diplomados en Enfermería (DUE) y Auxiliares de Enfermería (AE) del Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Fundación Alcorcón, los cambios producidos en el hábito tabáquico, sus conocimientos sobre la influencia del humo ambiental de tabaco (HAT) en la salud, así como las discusiones ocasionadas por éste. Material y

método:

Se ha realizado un estudio transversal descriptivo entre los DUE y AE del Servicio de Urgencias mediante cuestionario dirigido al personal fumador y no fumador, con partes diferenciadas para cada grupo, y un análisis comparativo de los resultados obtenidos.

Resultados:

Se analizan 71 encuestas correspondientes a otros tantos profesionales (44 DUE y 27 AE), entre los que 19 (26,8%) se reconocían como fumadores. Tras la aplicación de la prohibición de fumar, el consumo medio de tabaco durante la jornada laboral se redujo en 4,7 cigarros por fumador, al tiempo que disminuyeron los conflictos ocasionados por el humo del tabaco (no discutía el 76,1% frente al 49,3% previo); p < 0,01.

Conclusiones:

Tras la aplicación de la prohibición de fumar se ha reducido el consumo de tabaco en el lugar de trabajo y las discusiones ocasionadas a causa de éste (AU)
ABSTRACT

Background:

In May 2005 the Royal Decree prohibiting smoking in public spaces and particularly in medical centres came into force. Our study aims to analyse the consequences of implementing that rule on the nursing staff of the emergency service of Alcorcón Foundation Hospital, the changes in smoking habits, the awareness of effects of air polluted by cigarette smoke on health and the arguments between smokers and non-smokers about cigarette use.

Methodology:

A descriptive cross-sectional study based on a survey of smokers and non-smokers of the nursing staff (nurses and nursing assistants) of the emergency service of the Alcorcon Foundation Hospital and a comparative analysis of responses and outcomes were done.

Results:

The survey was answered by 71 staff members (44 nurses and 27 nursing assistants), 19 of whom (26,8%) were current smokers. After the implementation of the smoking prohibition, average cigarette consumption during working hours was reduced by 4,7 cigarettes per person and conflicts caused by cigarette smoke decreased.

Conclusions:

The staff members surveyed were aware of the effects of air polluted by cigarette smoke on the health of passive smokers. Following implementation of the Royal Decree, both cigarette consumption in the workplace and arguments due to cigarette smoking decreased (AU)
