The smoking behavior of oncology nurses is of particular concern, not only because of the personal risk, but also because of the negative influence the behavior may have on the public. A survey of 316 female oncology nurses in Texas was conducted to assess smoking prevalence in this sample and the manner in which smoking status impacts the attitudes of these nurses toward their roles as exemplars and advocates for nonsmoking. The prevalence of smoking in this sample of oncology nurses was 7%, with an additional 26.2% being ex-smokers, supporting a downward trend in smoking among oncology nurses. Differences among oncology nurses who were smokers, ex-smokers, or nonsmokers concerning their attitudes toward smoking were investigated. Nonsmokers and ex-smokers showed a more positive attitude toward their roles as exemplars and in counseling the public about the health hazards of smoking.
肿瘤护理人员的吸烟行为尤其令人担忧，这不仅是因为个人风险，还因为该行为可能对公众产生负面影响。对德克萨斯州的316名女性肿瘤护理人员进行了一项调查，以评估该样本中的吸烟率，以及吸烟状况影响这些护理人员对其作为非吸烟榜样和倡导者角色的态度的方式。在这个肿瘤护理人员样本中，吸烟率为7%，另有26.2%为曾经吸烟者，这支持了肿瘤护理人员吸烟率呈下降趋势。研究了吸烟的、曾经吸烟的或不吸烟的肿瘤护理人员在吸烟态度上的差异。不吸烟者和曾经吸烟者对其作为榜样的角色以及向公众宣传吸烟对健康危害的咨询工作表现出更积极的态度。
