The university period is often characterized as a critical period of vulnerability for smoking habit initiation.
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the relationship between religiosity and smoking among undergraduate students on health sciences courses.
A total of 336 students on four health sciences courses (occupational therapy, speech therapy, nutrition, and physiotherapy) completed a cigarette smoking questionnaire along with the Duke University Religion Index.
Smoking prevalence was 8.3% among females and 12.7% among males. Prevalence among students who do not have a religion, but do believe in God, was higher than among those who do have a religion (16.3 and 6.3%, respectively). Organizational religious activity has a significant effect on smoking status.
The students have health habits that are not only motivated by the technical knowledge acquired on their undergraduate courses, since there was a possible influence of social norms stimulated by religious institutions on their attitudes, knowledge and practices in health.
大学阶段通常是开始吸烟习惯的脆弱期。
本横断面研究旨在评估信仰与健康科学专业学生吸烟之间的关系。
共有 336 名从事职业治疗、言语治疗、营养和物理治疗四门健康科学课程的学生完成了吸烟调查问卷和杜克宗教索引。
女性吸烟率为 8.3%，男性为 12.7%。不信仰宗教但相信上帝的学生的吸烟率高于有宗教信仰的学生（分别为 16.3%和 6.3%）。组织宗教活动对吸烟状况有显著影响。
学生们的健康习惯不仅受到本科课程所获得的技术知识的驱动，因为宗教机构所激发的社会规范可能对他们的态度、知识和健康实践产生影响。
