The awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among smokers admitting to pulmonary medicine outpatient clinic: Single center experience

Öz:
Aims: Smoking is the strongest risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the awareness of COPD among smokers has been found at low levels worldwide. The aim of current study was to assess the COPD awareness level among smokers and to determine the factors associated with awareness. Methods: The current study involved the smokers admitted to the smoking cessation outpatient clinic, pulmonary medicine outpatient clinic, and pulmonary medicine clinic of an Training and Research Hospital. A self-administered COPD awareness survey was applied and the question of “Have you ever heard the term of COPD?” was asked to all participants. According to the survey scores, participants were categorized into groups as “Poor”, “Good” and “Very Good” Awareness. Results: All included 531 participants were asked the question of “Have you ever heard the term of COPD?”, and 490 (92.3%) of them answered that question as “Yes”. Statistically significant differences were found between the participants saying “Yes” and those saying “No” in the terms of the age range, smoking status, and education status with the numbers and percentages of 117 (23.87%), 246 (50.2%), and 170 (34.69%) (p=0.039, p<0.001, and p=0.004), respectively. The numbers and percentages of “Poor Awareness”, “Good Awareness” and “Very Good Awareness” groups were 211 (39.75%), 299 (56.3%), and 21 (3.95%), respectively. Conclusions: The awareness level of COPD among smokers admitted to pulmonary medicine department was detected as “Good”, and this “Good” level was predicted to be associated with the publicly sponsored broad anti-smoking campaigns including smoking cessation polyclinics offering free service.
