Smoking prevalence has reached high rates among health professionals. Our study aimed to assess smoking behavior, knowledge and attitudes towards anti-smoking regulations of nursing students.
In 2013, we conducted a cross-sectional study among nursing students enrolled in private and state nursing institutions of Sousse (Tunisia).
In our study, 440 students were selected. The mean age was 22 ± 2 years. The sex ratio was 0.65. The prevalence of smoking was 20.6%. It was significantly higher in men than women (50% vs 4.5%, P < 10(-3)). Strong dependency was noted in 9%. One-third of smokers stated they wanted to quit smoking. Prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors and smoking in enclosed public places were the two most mentioned anti-smoking regulations.
Our rate was lower than those reported in the literature. This result should encourage policymakers to continue actions and ensure sustainability.
吸烟率在卫生专业人员中已达到很高水平。我们的研究旨在评估护理专业学生的吸烟行为、对禁烟规定的知识和态度。
2013年，我们对突尼斯苏塞私立和公立护理机构招收的护理专业学生进行了一项横断面研究。
在我们的研究中，选取了440名学生。平均年龄为22±2岁。性别比为0.65。吸烟率为20.6%。男性吸烟率显著高于女性（50%对4.5%，P<10⁻³）。9%的人有强烈的烟瘾。三分之一的吸烟者表示他们想戒烟。禁止向未成年人出售香烟和在封闭公共场所吸烟是最常被提及的两项禁烟规定。
我们的吸烟率低于文献报道的水平。这一结果应鼓励政策制定者继续采取行动并确保可持续性。
