Abstract

BACKGROUND

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of shisha smoking and associated factors among medical students in Malaysia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Management and Science University from December 2011 until March 2012. The questionnaire consisted of five sections including socio-demographic, social environment, knowledge about shisha, psychosocial factors, and personal shisha smoking behavior. Obtained data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 13). T-test was used to determine the relationships between shisha smoking and socio-demographic characteristic.

RESULTS

A total number of 300 medical students participated in this study. Mean age was 22.5±2.5 years. The majority were female, Malay, single, from urban areas (67%, 54%, 97%, 73%; respectively). The prevalence of shisha smoking among medical students was found to be 20%. The study revealed that many students believed that shisha does not contains nicotine, carbon monoxide, does not lead to lung cancer, dental problems and does not lead to cardiovascular diseases (25%, 20.7%, 22.3%, 29%, 26.7%; respectively). Age and sex were found to be significantly associated with smoking shisha status among medical students (p=0.029, p<0.001; respectively). Furthermore, having parents, siblings and friends smokers of shisha were found to be significantly associated with shisha smoking status (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001; respectively). Furthermore, family problems, problems with friends, financial problems and university life were found to significantly associated with shisha smoking status among medical students (p<0.001, p=0.002, p<0.001, p=0.002; respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

There is a high prevalence of shisha smoking and a poor knowledge about its impact on health among medical students. More attention is needed to focus on medical education in this regard. The policies that are currently employed in order to reduce the cigarettes smoking should be applied to shisha smoking and shisha products.

摘要

背景

本研究旨在确定马来西亚医科学生中抽水烟的流行率及相关因素。

材料与方法

2011年12月至2012年3月在管理与科学大学进行了一项横断面研究。问卷包括五个部分，即社会人口统计学、社会环境、关于水烟的知识、心理社会因素以及个人抽水烟行为。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS 13）对获得的数据进行分析。采用t检验来确定抽水烟与社会人口统计学特征之间的关系。

结果

共有300名医科学生参与了本研究。平均年龄为22.5±2.5岁。大多数为女性、马来人、单身、来自城市地区（分别为67%、54%、97%、73%）。医科学生中抽水烟的流行率为20%。研究表明，许多学生认为水烟不含尼古丁、一氧化碳，不会导致肺癌、牙齿问题以及心血管疾病（分别为25%、20.7%、22.3%、29%、26.7%）。年龄和性别被发现与医科学生的抽水烟状况显著相关（p = 0.029，p < 0.001；分别）。此外，父母、兄弟姐妹和朋友中有抽水烟者被发现与抽水烟状况显著相关（p < 0.001，p < 0.001，p < 0.001；分别）。此外，家庭问题、朋友问题、经济问题和大学生活被发现与医科学生的抽水烟状况显著相关（p < 0.001，p = 0.002，p < 0.001，p = 0.002；分别）。
