Abstract

Smoking related health disorders are particularly common after long-term cigarette use and accordingly cumulativeside effects of smoking usually do not appear in younger individuals. Therefore, for evaluating the contemporary effects of smokingin healthy individuals quality of life has become a fundamental criterion. In this study our aims are evaluating factors affecting schoolteachers' smoking status and comparing quality of life them according to their cigarette smoking status.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted between March 1 and June 30, 2015, included all government schoolteachers in Hopa. A sociodemographic data form and World Health Organisation Quality of Life-bref (WHOQL-bref) questionnairewere used. Statistical analysis was performed via SPSS 20. Toevaluate the reliability of the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire,Cronbach's alpha co-efficiency was calculated for each domainseparately.Results: Statistical analysis was performed on 327 participants'data. The mean age of the teachers was 34.2 ± 8.73 and 50.2% ofthem were female. Most of the teachers were never smokers(67.8%) and current smokers' made up 20.1% of the population. Mean Fagerström score of current smokers was 4.1±1.96. Multinominal logistic regression analysis showed that there was a positiveassociation between male gender and current smoking (OR= 2.25; 95% CI: 1.17-4.32; p< 0.05). Perception of quality of life andperception of health status scores were lower in the current smoker group as compared to never smokers (p< 0.05). However, otherquality of life domains were not significantly different among smoking groups. Also, none of the quality of life domains differedsignificantly according to current smokers' nicotine dependence level.Conclusion: This study reflected a decrease in current smoking prevalence among school teachers compared to previous years. Also,the perception of quality of life and perception of health status scores were lower in the current smoker group as compared to never smokers.

Özet

Giriş: Sigara ile ilişkili sağlık sorunları özellikle uzun süreli kullanımından sonra sık görülür ve dolayısıyla sigaranın kümülatif yan etkilerigenç yaşlarda pek görülmez. Bu nedenle, sigaranın o andaki yan etkilerini değerlendirmede yaşam kalitesi temel bir kriter halinegelmiştir. Bu çalışmamızda amaçlarımız öğretmenlerin sigara içmelerini etkileyen faktörleri değerlendirmek ve sigara içme durumlarınagöre yaşam kalitelerini kıyaslamaktır.Materyal ve Metod: Bu kesitsel çalışma 1 Mart 2015 ila 30 Haziran 2015 tarihleri arasında yapıldı ve Hopa'da bulunan bütün devletokullarındaki öğretmenler çalışmaya dahil edildi. Sosyodemografik veri formu ve WHOQOL-bref ölçeği kullanıldı. İstatistiksel analiziçin SPSS 20 kullanıldı. Ölçeğin güvenilirliğini değerlendirmek için her bir alanının Cronbach alfa değerleri hesaplandı.Bulgular: İstatistiksel analiz 327 kişinin verilerine uygulandı. Öğretmenlerin yaş ortalaması 34.2 ± 8.73 idi ve %50.2'si kadındı.Öğretmenlerin çoğu (%67.8) hiç sigara içmemişti, aktif içicilerin oranı %20.1 idi. Aktif içicilerin ortalama Fagerström skoru 4.1 ± 1.96idi. Multinominal lojistik regresyon analizi erkek cinsiyet ile aktif içicilik arasında pozitif ilişki olduğunu gösterdi (OR= 2.25;95% CI:1.17-4.32; p< 0.05). Yaşam kalitesi algısı ve sağlık durumu algısı aktif içicilerin hiç içmeyenlere göre daha düşüktü (p< 0.05). Ancak,diğer yaşam kalitesi alanlarında sigara içme durumlarına veya bağımlılık durumlarına göre farklılık saptanmadı.Sonuç: Bu çalışma öğretmenler arasında aktif sigara içiciliği oranında önceki yıllara göre bir düşüş olduğunu, ayrıca aktif içicilerin hiçiçmeyenlere göre yaşam kalitelerini ve sağlık durumlarını daha kötü algıladıklarını göstermiştir.
