Describe the use of e-cigarettes and factors associated with e-cigarette use among university students from one university in Vietnam in 2021.
This cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 554 full-time undergraduate students recruiting for the study. Data was collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire. A logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors with significant association with students' use of e-cigarettes.
The study revealed that 13.2% of students were current users. Students who had e-cigarette smokers in the family (aOR=6.1, 95% CI: 2.5-15.4; p<0.001), used traditional cigarettes (aOR=23.6, 95% CI: 10.5-53.4; p<0.001), consumed alcohol (aOR=5, 95%CI: 1.6 - 15.9; p<0.01), were exposed to e-cigarette advertising (aOR=2.6; 95%CI: 1.1-5.9; p<0.01), and had inadequate knowledge about e-cigarettes (aOR=2.2; 95%CI: 1-4.7; p<0.01) were more likely to use e-cigarettes.
This study updates the status of e-cigarette use among students in one university in Vietnam, thereby suggesting strategies to reduce the use of e-cigarettes among university students.
描述 2021 年越南一所大学的大学生使用电子烟的情况及其与电子烟使用的相关因素。
本横断面研究共纳入 554 名全日制本科生。使用结构化的自我管理问卷收集数据。采用逻辑回归分析确定与学生使用电子烟显著相关的因素。
研究显示,13.2%的学生是当前使用者。家庭中有电子烟吸烟者(aOR=6.1,95%CI:2.5-15.4;p<0.001)、使用传统香烟(aOR=23.6,95%CI:10.5-53.4;p<0.001)、饮酒(aOR=5,95%CI:1.6-15.9;p<0.01)、接触电子烟广告(aOR=2.6;95%CI:1.1-5.9;p<0.01)以及对电子烟知识了解不足(aOR=2.2;95%CI:1-4.7;p<0.01)的学生更有可能使用电子烟。
本研究更新了越南一所大学学生电子烟使用情况的现状,从而提出了减少大学生电子烟使用的策略。
