Abstract

Introduction: The World Health Organisation has declared that smoking is the biggest health problem, since over four million people die because of it every year and it causes much harm. The assumption that all over the world, including Turkey, about 45% of the population over 15 years old has a smoking habit on a very serious scale reveals how important the problem is for the young population. Material and Method: This study was carried out to determine the smoking status of the final grade students at Atatürk University in the 2003-2004 academic year. A questionnaire form developed by the researchers was used as the data gathering tool. Results: It was found that 42.0% of the participants had smoked (continuous and occasional smoking). The age of onset of smoking was mainly between 14 and 21 years. There was a statistically strong association between duration of smoking, starting time, and smoking amount (p<0.001), including the association between age of onset and smoking status of the students (p<0.05). Of the students, 22.1% stated that they did not know why they started smoking. Their main answers were; 56.5% of them stated they smoked to relieve their stress feelings, 24.6% stated they smoked for pleasure. Conclusion: Cigarette are widely used by university students. The reason why the students started smoking was mostly fellowship environment, and the reason for continuing to smoke was mostly to relieve stress.

Özet

Giriş: Her yıl 4 milyon kişinin sigara yüzünden ölmesi ve sigaranın pek çok zarara yol açması nedenleriyle Dünya Sağlık Örgütü dünyadaki en büyük sağlık sorununun sigara olduğunu ilan etmiştir. Tüm dünyada ve ülkemizde 15 yaşın üzerindeki nüfusun % 45' inin ciddi boyutlarda sigara bağımlısı olduğu varsayımı, sorunun özellikle gençlik açısından ne denli önemli olduğunu gösterir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma 2003-2004 öğretim dönemi içinde Atatürk Üniversitesi son sınıf öğrencilerinin sigara kullanma durumunu belirlemek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen anket formu veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin % 42.0' sinin sigara kullandığı (sürekli ve ara sıra) bulunmuştur. Sigaraya ilk olarak başlama yaşları çoğunlukla 14-21 yaşları arasındadır. Öğrencilerin sigara kullanma durumları ile ilk başlama yaşı arasında (p<0.05), sigara kullanma durumları ile sigara miktarı, başlama zamanı ve kullanma süreleri (p<0.001) arasında istatistiksel olarak güçlü bir ilişki vardır. Öğrencilerin % 22.1' i niçin sigaraya başladıklarını bilmediklerini belirtmişlerdir. Onların ana cevapları; % 56.5' i stresimi azaltıyor, % 24.6' sı keyifleniyorum şeklinde olmuştur. Sonuç: Sigara üniversite öğrencileri tarafından yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Öğrencilerin sigaraya başlama nedenleri çoğunlukla arkadaş çevresidir ve sigarayı devam ettirme nedenleri ise çoğunlukla stresi azaltmasından dolayıdır.
