The study aimed to investigate the tobacco smoking prevalence, habits and awareness among a cohort of healthcare students from a university hospital in southern Italy and the associations with socio-demographic determinants. A secondary outcome was to estimate the educational needs to receive information on smoking-related risk factors. Five hundred and forty-nine students completed a self-administered questionnaire (180 male and 369 female, average age 25 yo, ±5.9 SD), enrolled from October 2018 to November 2019 at the University of Naples 'Luigi Vanvitelli', and the collected data were analysed by descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The sample's prevalence of current smokers was 25.3%, without a significant sex difference. The multiple logistic regression model showed the link between smoking habits and alcoholic beverage consumption ( < 0.001) and living with smokers ( = 0.003). The enrolled cohort does not seem to need more information about the risks of cigarette smoking ( = 0.028). The data analysis and the comparison with the current literature allowed the authors to hypothesise a training model to be adopted within a workplace health promotion programme managed by an occupational physician. This model included targeted training for smoking dissuasion, focusing on sex and gender, cohabitant's influence, and combined addiction management. Further research will focus on the effectiveness of these proposed models.
本研究旨在调查意大利南部一家大学医院的医学生群体中的烟草使用流行率、习惯和认知情况，以及与社会人口统计学决定因素的关联。次要结果是估计接收与吸烟相关的风险因素信息的教育需求。2018 年 10 月至 2019 年 11 月，549 名学生在那不勒斯 'Luigi Vanvitelli' 大学完成了一份自我管理的问卷（180 名男性和 369 名女性，平均年龄 25 岁，±5.9 SD），收集的数据通过描述性和推断性统计分析进行分析。该样本中当前吸烟者的比例为 25.3%，男女之间没有显著差异。多因素逻辑回归模型显示，吸烟习惯与酒精饮料消费（<0.001）和与吸烟者同住（=0.003）之间存在关联。所招募的队列似乎不需要更多关于吸烟风险的信息（=0.028）。数据分析并与当前文献进行比较，使作者假设在职业医生管理的工作场所健康促进计划中采用一种培训模式。该模型包括针对劝阻吸烟的有针对性培训，重点关注性别和性别、同居者的影响以及联合成瘾管理。进一步的研究将集中在这些拟议模型的有效性上。
