Introduction: Smoking constitutes a serious risk to the health of workers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of caregivers on the harmful effects of tobacco and their perception of the actions to be promoted for a tobacco-free hospital. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study, carried out from April 1 to May 31, 2021 at the hospitals of Kossodo and Boulmiougou in Ouagadougou. Data collection was done using an anonymous, pre-established self-administered questionnaire. Results: A total of 246 caregivers were participated in the study. The average age was 44.8 years and 77.2% had more than 10 years of seniority in the function. The existence of the anti-tobacco law in Burkina Faso in public places was known by 78.9% of caregivers. Most caregivers were aware of tobacco-related harm (93.5%). The most known tobacco-related pathologies were lung cancer (55.3%), throat cancer (13.8%). Posters (88.2%), the ban on smoking in hospitals (93.9%), staff training (80.5%) and monitoring of compliance with the anti-smoking law (46%) were the major means recommended to achieve a tobacco-free hospital. Conclusion: Caregivers should serve as role models in tobacco control. The establishment of an anti-tobacco surveillance committee in health structures and the strengthening of awareness are to be promoted.

Introduction: Le tabagisme constitue un risque grave pesant sur la santé des travailleurs. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer, les connaissances des soignants sur les méfaits du tabac et leur perception sur les actions à promouvoir pour un hôpital sans tabac. Méthodologie: Il s’agissait d’une étude transversale, descriptive, réalisée du 1ier avril 2021 au 31 mai 2021 au niveau des hôpitaux de Kossodo et de Boulmiougou à Ouagadougou. La collecte des données a été faite à l’aide d’un auto-questionnaire anonyme, préétabli. Résultats: Au total, 246 soignants avaient participé à l’étude. L’âge moyen était de 44,8 ans et 77,2% avaient plus de 10 ans d’ancienneté dans la fonction. L’existence de la loi anti-tabac au Burkina Faso dans les lieux publics était connue par 78,9% des soignants. La plupart des soignants avaient connaissance des méfaits liés au tabac (93,5%). Les pathologies liées au tabac les plus connues étaient, le cancer du poumon (55,3%), le cancer de la gorge (13,8%). Les affiches (88,2%), l’interdiction de l’usage du tabac dans les hôpitaux (93,9%), la formation du personnel (80,5%) et le contrôle de veille au respect de la loi antitabac (46%) étaient les moyens majeurs préconisés pour aboutir à un hôpital sans tabac. Conclusion: Le personnel soignant devrait servir de modèle en matière de lutte contre le tabagisme. La mise en place d’un comité de surveillance anti-tabac dans les structures sanitaires et le renforcement de la sensibilisation sont à promouvoir.
