| description |
The number of active smokers in Malaysia
is increasing despite the availability of stop
smoking clinics and smoking cessation
medications. Other than smokers’ level of
motivation to quit smoking, competency of the
healthcare professionals involved in providing
smoking cessation intervention using evidencebased guidelines needs to be considered.
Hence, knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP)
of the healthcare providers in relation to
existing clinical practice guidelines on smoking
cessation should be assessed. In this review,
we look at the factors contributing to the KAP
of medical personnel on the guidelines and
also the previously available assessment tool,
mainly in the form of a validated questionnaire,
for the purpose of applying it to the context of
the Malaysian healthcare providers. |
