The study aimed to evaluate the nicotine addiction syndrome among students of the medical university of Wroclaw.
The anonymous self-administered online questionnaire regarding tobacco and e-cigarettes smoking was sent to 5616 students. A total of 407 students from Wrocław Medical University who fulfilled the questionnaire were enrolled.
One-fourth of the surveyed medical students smoke or have smoked cigarettes in the past. About 75% of students report that there is no information about the harmfulness of smoking and its consequences in the course of teaching in medical studies. The majority of students, 74.5% of women and 62.8% of men, agree that nicotine dependence syndrome should become part of the curriculum of medical universities.
The proportion of smokers among medical students is very high, and their knowledge of smoking is insufficient. It seems necessary to implement urgent education for medical students about the consequences of smoking and the treatment of nicotine dependence syndrome. The knowledge of future doctors about the harmfulness of smoking in the future will allow reducing the number of patients suffering from smoking-related diseases and may help reduce the number of smokers among students. It seems necessary to intensify the antismoking campaigns in Poland and worldwide.
本研究旨在评估弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学学生中的尼古丁成瘾综合征。
向5616名学生发送了关于吸烟和电子烟使用的匿名在线自填问卷。共有407名来自弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学且完成问卷的学生被纳入研究。
四分之一的受访医学生过去吸烟或曾经吸烟。约75%的学生表示在医学课程教学过程中没有关于吸烟危害及其后果的信息。大多数学生，74.5%的女性和62.8%的男性，同意尼古丁依赖综合征应成为医科大学课程的一部分。
医学生中的吸烟者比例非常高，且他们对吸烟的了解不足。对医学生实施关于吸烟后果和尼古丁依赖综合征治疗的紧急教育似乎很有必要。未来医生对吸烟危害的了解将有助于减少患吸烟相关疾病的患者数量，并可能有助于减少学生中的吸烟者数量。在波兰和全球加强反吸烟运动似乎很有必要。
