Özet
AMAÇ: Bu çalışma Dicle Üniversitesi Atatürk Sağlık Yüksekokulu
öğrencilerinin sigara kullanma alışkanlıkları ve etkileyen faktörleri
belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMLER: Kesitsel olarak planlanan bu çalışma 15-
19 Nisan 2013 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Örneklem
seçimi yapılmamış tüm evrene ulaşılması hedeflenmiştir. Yüksekokula kayıtlı 400 öğrencinin 326’sına (%81,5) ulaşılabilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında araştırmacının hazırladığı anket formu ve bağımlılık durumlarını ortaya koymak amacıyla Fagerström Nikotin
Bağımlılık Testi (FNBT) uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yüzde
hesaplamaları, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek için
ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır.
BULGULAR: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21,4±2,3’tür ve %12,3’ü
halen sigara içmekte, %4,0’ü bırakmıştır. Halen sigara içen öğrencilerin %21,9’unun erkek %3,5’inin kız olduğu belirlenmiştir.
%67,5’i sigarayı bırakmayı denemiş, %72,5’i ileride sigarayı bırakmayı düşündüğünü belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %47,5’inin 11-
20 adet sigara içtikleri görülmüştür. Halen sigara içen ve bırakan
öğrencilerin %47,2’si 10-15 yaşta sigaraya başlamıştır. Başlama
nedeni olarak, %50,9’u stres, sıkıntı, üzüntü nedeniyle, %35,8’i
arkadaş etkisiyle başladıklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Yaş, cinsiyet, sınıf, yakın arkadaş arasında sigara içenlerin olması ile sigara içme
arasında anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Öğrencilerin
%35,0’inin yüksek düzeyde bağımlı oldukları belirlenmiştir.
SONUÇ: Gençler arasında sigara içme yaygınlığı yüksektir. Sigara
içme yaygınlığını azaltmak için öğrencilerin sigaraya başlama nedenlerinin tespit edilip bunlara yönelik önlemlerin üniversite öncesi dönemde başlanıp üniversite döneminde devam etmesi uygun
olacaktır.
OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to determine the smoking habits of students of Atatürk Health College of Dicle University and the factors affecting them. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed between April 15 and 19, 2013. The selection of sampling was not conducted, since the whole study population included. Of 400 registered students, 326 (81.5%) were included. For collecting data, a questionnaire form designed by the researcher and Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence for determining the addiction level were applied. Percentage calculation was used for analyzing data, and chi-square test was employed for evaluating the relationship between the variables. RESULTS: The mean age of students was 21.4±2.3 years. Of them, 12.3% still smoked and 4% had quit. Of the smokers, 21.9% were males and 3.5% were females. Of the smokers, 67.5% stated that they tried to quit smoking and 72.5% replied that they thought of quitting smoking in the future. It was found that 47.5% of the students smoked 11–20 cigarettes a day. Of the students who still smoked and who had quitted, 47.2% had begun to smoke at the age of 10–15 years. As the cause for smoking initiation, 50.9% of the students revealed stress, difficulties, and sadness and 35.8% revealed the effect of a friend. A statistically significant difference was found between smoking habit and age, gender, class, and the presence of smokers among close friends (p<0.05). Moreover, it was detected that 35% of the students were over dependent. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of smoking among the youth is high. To decrease smoking prevalence, the reasons for smoking initiation should be investigated and some precautions should be taken before the university age, and they should be continued during the university education.
