This study aims to determine the smoking status of hospital staff and to examine the relationship between their smoking habits and healthy lifestyle behaviors.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out between March and September 2018 with 387 health workers in Izzet Baysal Training and Research Hospital affiliated to Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University.

Of them, 58.7% of the participants were exposed to smoking in the workplace, and 75.9% of the nonsmokers were exposed to smoking environment, which was statistically significantly high. A statistically significant difference was found between the health workers' Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale mean scores with respect to gender, smoking status, being in a smoking environment, and duration of smoking.Conclusion: Determining the relationship between smoking habits and healthy lifestyle behaviors of health workers, identifying their negative or incomplete behaviors in this regard, and developing training and support programs for their relevant needs are considered to positively affect the images of health workers in society, and thus to increase healthcare quality and satisfaction.

Özet

Amaç: Tütün ve tütün ürünü kullanmak önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Çalışmamız hastanede çalışan personelin sigara kullanma durumlarını saptamak ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ile arasındaki ilişkiyi belirleyebilmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmamız kesitsel olarak planlanmış, Mart-Eylül 2018 arasında Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi İzzet Baysal Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesinde 387 kişi ile yapılmıştır. Bu kişilerden çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden sağlık personeline yüz yüze görüşme tekniğiyle, sosyo-demografik özellikler ve sigara içme durumu bölümlerinden oluşan Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği II ile Fagerström Nikotin Bağımlılık Testi' nden oluşan anket formları doldurularak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma 387 kişi ile tamamlandı. Katılımcıların %58,7'si işyerinde sigaralı ortama maruz kalmaktaydı. Sigara kullanmayanların %75,9'u sigaralı ortama maruz kaldığını ifade etmişti ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Sağlık çalışanlarının cinsiyet, sigara içme, sigaralı ortamda bulunma, sigara içtikleri yıl sayısına göre sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları puan ortalamaları incelendiğinde aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Sigara içme durumları ile sağlıklı yaşam biçimleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenerek, sağlık çalışanlarının konuyla ilgili olumsuz ya da eksik davranışlarının saptanmasının, çalışanların gereksinimlerine yönelik eğitim ve destek planlarının geliştirilmesinin, sağlık çalışanlarının toplum üzerindeki imajını olumlu etkileyeceği ve bunun yansıması olarak, hizmet kalitesi ve memnuniyeti arttıracağı düşünülmektedir.
