Abstract

Ciddi sağlık sorunlarına yol açan sigara içme, gençler arasında yaygın olarak gözlenmektedir. Psikolojik belirtilerle ilişkili sigara tüketiminin gençler arasında yayınlaşması bu alandaki araştırmaları da arttırmaktadır. Kesitsel nitelikteki bu çalışmanın temel amacı, sigara içme alışkanlığı ile psikolojik belirtiler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Örneklemi 779 öğrenciden Sigara içenler=206, İçmeyenler=573 oluşan çalışmada katılımcılar kişisel bilgi formu ve sigara içme alışkanlıklarını belirten sorulara cevap vermişlerdir. Psikolojik belirtiler Kısa Semptom Envanteri KSE ile toplanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda sigara içenlerin depresyon t=-3.16 , kaygı t=-3.58 , olumsuz benlik t=-3.08 , somatizasyon t=-3.29 ve karşı gelme t=-6.27 puanları sigara içmeyenlerinkinden anlamlı düzeyde yüksek çıkmıştır. Sonuçlar ayrıca olumsuz benlik kavramının OR=0.95, 95% CI=0.91-1.99 ve karşı gelmenin OR=1.12, 95% CI=1.07-1.17 sigara içme alışkanlığı ile anlamlı düzeye ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu sonuçlar psikolojik belirtilerin sigara içme davranışı için risk teşkil ettiğini göstermektedir

Psychological Symptoms and Smoking Among Turkish University Students

Abstract

Smoking which may lead to serious health problems, is commonly observed among young people. The recent increased use of cigarettes by young people and its relation to psychological symptoms are reasons for increasing research into smoking. The main objective of this cross-sectional study was to analyze the association between psychological symptoms with smoking status. A sample of 779 students smokers=206, nonsmokers=573 answered a questionnaire including demographic variables and items regarding smoking. Psychological symptoms were measured by Brief Symptom Inventory BSI . Current smokers reported significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms t=3.16 , anxiety t=-3.58 , self-negativity t=-3.08 , somatization t=-3.29 and hostility t=-6.27 than non-smokers. The results also indicate that self-negativity OR=0.95, 95% CI=0.91-1.99 and hostility OR=1.12, 95% CI=1.07-1.17 were variables significantly associated with current smoking status. These findings suggest that certain psychological symptoms are strongly related to risk for smoking
