Higher rates of Smoking among university students have been reported in various studies. On the other hand, health literacy (HL) can improve health behaviors. In fact, identifying factors affecting the adoption of smoking preventive behaviors such as HL can help prevent and reduce the prevalence of smoking among people. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between different levels of HL and adoption of smoking preventive behaviors among university student in 2016.
This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Three hundred and forty-seven dormitory students of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Iran were selected through single-stage cluster sampling for the study. Data were collected using a measure of HL (the HL inventory for adults-HELIA) and a designed questionnaire to assess the adoption of smoking preventive behaviors. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version. 16 and descriptive statistical and Logistic regression test.
The mean (SD) of the score for adoption of smoking preventive behaviors and HL were 45.91 (12.99) and 70.52 (14.12) out of 100, respectively. The results showed that the adoption of smoking preventive behaviors had significant relationship with variables such as HL, gender, father's education and not smoking ( < 0.05).
Less adoption of smoking preventive behaviors was seen in students with lower levels of HL, female students, students with illiterate fathers and smokers. Therefore, it seems essential to take these factors into consideration in designing preventive programs for smoking in target groups.
多项研究报告称大学生吸烟率较高。另一方面，健康素养（HL）可以改善健康行为。事实上，识别影响采取吸烟预防行为的因素，如健康素养，有助于预防和降低人群中的吸烟率。本研究的目的是确定2016年大学生不同水平的健康素养与采取吸烟预防行为之间的关系。
这是一项横断面描述性研究。通过单阶段整群抽样，选取了伊朗沙希德·贝赫什提医科大学的347名宿舍学生作为研究对象。使用健康素养测量工具（成人健康素养量表-HELIA）和一份设计好的问卷收集数据，以评估吸烟预防行为的采取情况。使用SPSS软件版本16对数据进行分析，并进行描述性统计和逻辑回归测试。
吸烟预防行为采取得分和健康素养得分的均值（标准差）分别为45.91（12.99）和70.52（14.12）（满分100分）。结果表明，吸烟预防行为的采取与健康素养、性别、父亲教育程度和不吸烟等变量存在显著关系（P<0.05）。
健康素养水平较低的学生、女学生、父亲为文盲的学生和吸烟者采取吸烟预防行为的情况较少。因此，在为目标群体设计吸烟预防项目时，考虑这些因素似乎至关重要。
