Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie belegen eine Prävalenz des Tabakrauches von 79% für die Gefangenen und 28% für die Bediensteten. Drei Viertel der Insassen und 68% der Bediensteten geben an, dem Rauch anderer Tabakkonsumenten ausgesetzt zu sein. Nichtraucher nehmen in den JVAs pro Tag den Rauch einer Zigarette aufgrund des Passivrauchens auf. Trotzdem werden Rauchverbote, die Hafträume einschließen, von beiden Befragtengruppen mehrheitlich abgelehnt. Mit der Inhaftierung ist oftmals der Einstieg in den Tabakkonsum verbunden. Jeder zweite aktuell rauchende Häftling hat während der Haft schon einen Abstinenzversuch unternommen. Entsprechende Hilfe wird in den JVAs vereinzelt angeboten, die Kosten müssen die Häftlinge aber selbst tragen. Als erfolgsmindernd werden diesbzgl. vor allem Stress und Langeweile benannt. Während die JVAs bemüht sind, Nichtraucher nicht gemeinsam mit Rauchern in einem Haftraum unterzubringen, sind Nichtraucherstationen bisher kaum existent. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen dieser Studie sind eine Vielzahl von Empfehlungen formuliert und zu einem Maßnahmenpaket gebündelt worden. Der Politik, wie den Haftanstalten wird es somit ermöglicht, eine empirisch fundierte und nach wissenschaftlichen Maßstäben entwickelte Tabakprävention in deutschen JVAs zu etablieren.

"This volume recognizes and addresses the health care issues of prisoners, to establish best practices and to learn about approaches to these challenges from around the world. It presents new evidence on several emerging and classical prison health issues. The first goal of this volume is to address emerging issues related to health in prison. Second, it presents the most recent research-based evidence and translates it to the practice. The third goal, is that it allows for sufficient diversity while also incorporating updates of some important already recognized prison health. The volume discusses prisons and the life and well-being of prisoners and staff, after growing problems as drug misuse (incl. tobacco smoking), infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, STIs and TB), psychiatric problems, inadequate and unhealthy living conditions (incl. nutrition), overcrowding of prisons. These are addressed adequately in order to meet the international requirements of equivalence of health care. The scope of this volume is at the same type specific and diverse enough to cover the interests of a large audience that includes many types of practitioners involved in health-related issues in the field of prison health care, such as psychologists, nurses and prison administration officers responsible for health care, legal professionals and social workers"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract Background There is increasing evidence that a strong primary care is a cornerstone of an efficient health care system. But Switzerland is facing a shortage of primary care physicians (PCPs). This pushed the Federal Council of Switzerland to introduce a multifaceted political programme to strengthen the position of primary care, including its academic role. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the situation of academic primary care at the five Swiss universities by the end of year 2012. Results Although primary care teaching activities have a long tradition at the five Swiss universities with activities starting in the beginning of the 1980ies; the academic institutes of primary care were only established in recent years (2005 – 2009). Only one of them has an established chair. Human and financial resources vary substantially. At all universities a broad variety of courses and lectures are offered, including teaching in private primary care practices with 1331 PCPs involved. Regarding research, differences among the institutes are tremendous, mainly caused by entirely different human resources and skills. Conclusion So far, the activities of the existing institutes at the Swiss Universities are mainly focused on teaching. However, for a complete academic institutionalization as well as an increased acceptance and attractiveness, more research activities are needed. In addition to an adequate basic funding of research positions, competitive research grants have to be created to establish a specialty-specific research culture.
