Smoking is common among nursing students worldwide, but the reported prevalence is inconsistent across epidemiological studies. This is a meta-analysis of the prevalence of smoking in nursing students worldwide.
Meta-analysis of observational studies.
A total of 46 studies were included in this meta-analysis.
Electronic databases (PubMed, Medline, PsycINFO, EMBASE and Web of science) were independently and systematically searched by two investigators from their commencement date up to 12 May 2018. Studies that reported the smoking rate of nursing students were included and analyzed using random-effects model.
The pooled prevalence of current smoking was 26.6% (95% CI: 22.9-30.4%), while pooled prevalence of previous smoking was 15.5% (95% CI: 11.8-19.3%). Subgroup analyses showed that smoking rate was higher in male compared with female students (39% vs 25.2%, P < .001), while survey time, sample size, age, study design and academic year did not moderate the smoking rate (all P > .05).
This meta-analysis confirmed that smoking is common in nursing students. Considering the negative impact of smoking on health, appropriate smoking cessation measures for nursing students should be developed.
吸烟在全世界的护理专业学生中很常见,但在不同的流行病学研究中报道的流行率并不一致。这是一项对全世界护理专业学生吸烟流行率的荟萃分析。
观察性研究的荟萃分析。
共有 46 项研究纳入本项荟萃分析。
两位研究者从研究开始日期至 2018 年 5 月 12 日,独立地系统检索了电子数据库(PubMed、Medline、PsycINFO、EMBASE 和 Web of science)。纳入报告护理专业学生吸烟率的研究,并使用随机效应模型进行分析。
当前吸烟的合并流行率为 26.6%(95%CI:22.9-30.4%),而既往吸烟的合并流行率为 15.5%(95%CI:11.8-19.3%)。亚组分析显示,与女性学生相比,男性学生的吸烟率更高(39%比 25.2%,P<0.001),而调查时间、样本量、年龄、研究设计和学年并不能调节吸烟率(均 P>0.05)。
本荟萃分析证实吸烟在护理专业学生中很常见。考虑到吸烟对健康的负面影响,应针对护理专业学生制定适当的戒烟措施。
