INTRODUCTION
Waterpipe smoking has gained popularity globally, often perceived as a safer alternative to cigarettes, particularly among young adults. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, socio-demographic effects, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward waterpipe tobacco smoking (WTS) among healthcare students in Jordan.
METHODS
Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data was collected from August 2022 to February 2023 through a structured, anonymous online survey. Out of 2003 responses, 1988 met the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS
The prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoking was 46.3%, predominantly among males (59.6%). Univariate analysis linked WTS with age, gender, year of study, father's education, and cigarette smoking. Logistic regression showed higher WTS odds in males and cigarette smokers. Waterpipe tobacco smokers viewed WTS as less addictive than cigarettes.
DISCUSSION
High WTS prevalence among healthcare students suggests societal acceptance and misinformation-driven use, despite awareness of health risks. Comprehensive studies and educational interventions are recommended.
引言
水烟吸食在全球范围内越来越流行，人们通常认为它是比香烟更安全的替代品，尤其是在年轻人中。本研究旨在评估约旦医学生中水烟吸食（WTS）的流行情况、社会人口学影响、知识、态度和行为。
方法
采用定量横断面设计，于2022年8月至2023年2月通过结构化匿名在线调查收集数据。在2003份回复中，1988份符合纳入标准。
结果
水烟吸食的流行率为46.3%，主要集中在男性（59.6%）。单因素分析将水烟吸食与年龄、性别、学习年份、父亲的教育程度和吸烟联系起来。逻辑回归显示男性和吸烟者中水烟吸食的几率更高。水烟吸食者认为水烟比香烟成瘾性小。
讨论
医学生中水烟吸食的高流行率表明，尽管意识到健康风险，但社会对此持接受态度且存在错误信息驱动的使用情况。建议进行全面研究和教育干预。
