This study investigated the effect of anxiety on nicotine dependence among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This was a descriptive and correlational study. The sample consisted of 503 university students in Turkey. Data were collected online using a demographic characteristics form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND).
FTND scores differed by gender, family type, and grade level, while STAI scores differed by gender, income, and region of residence (p < 0.05). Fifty-one percent of the participants had moderate anxiety, while 65.2% had low nicotine dependence. FTND and STAI mean scores were strongly correlated (p < 0.05).
The higher the anxiety, the higher the nicotine dependence among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
本研究旨在调查新冠疫情期间大学生焦虑对尼古丁依赖的影响。
这是一项描述性和相关性研究。样本包括土耳其的 503 名大学生。使用人口统计学特征表、状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)和尼古丁依赖测试(FTND)在线收集数据。
FTND 评分因性别、家庭类型和年级水平而异,而 STAI 评分因性别、收入和居住地地区而异(p<0.05)。51%的参与者有中度焦虑,而 65.2%有低尼古丁依赖。FTND 和 STAI 的平均分数呈强相关(p<0.05)。
新冠疫情期间,大学生的焦虑程度越高,尼古丁依赖程度越高。
