Amaç: Sigara dumanından pasif etkilenim, önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olup, bebek ve çocukların sağlığını olumsuz etkileyen en önemli dışsal faktörlerden birisi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Araçlar sigara dumanına maruz kalma için önemli bir ortam oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada, sigara içen ve içmeyen ailelerin çocuklarının özel araçlarda sigara dumanından pasif etkilenim durumlarını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma, Antalya Atatürk Devlet Hastanesinde çocuğu olan ebeveynler (n=524) üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini bu grup içinde özel aracı olan ve çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 0-11 yaş arasında çocuğu olan 113 anne-baba oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında konu ile ilgili literatür taranarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan, ailelerin tanımlayıcı özellikleri ve araştırma konusu ile ilgili sorulardan oluşan bir form kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Sigara içme sıklığı annelerde %31.0, babalarda %45.1 bulunmuştur. Arabada çocuk varken ailelerin çoğunun (%72.6) diğer kişilerin sigara içmelerine izin vermediği bildirilmiştir. Sigara içen annelerin %31.4’ünün, sigara içen babaların %31.4’ünün arabada da sigara içtiği bulunmuştur. Arabada bulunan diğer kişilerin sigara içmesine, sigara içen annelerin, babalardan daha fazla izin verdiği saptanmıştır (%54.3 ve %19.6) (p<0.005). Daha az eğitimli anne ve babalar arabalarında yüksek eğitimlilerden daha fazla sigara içmektedir (p<0.05).Sonuç: Sigara içen annelerin ve babaların arabada da sigara içtiği ve arabada bulunan diğer kişilerin sigara içmesine daha fazla izin verdiği saptanmıştır (p<0.005). Arabada iken sigara dumanına maruz kalan çocukların sigara içen ailelerinin farkındalığı arttırılmalıdır. Onların ve çocukla/çocuksuz arabada seyahat eden diğer kişilerin sigara içme yasağı ile ilgili bazı kuralları geliştirilmelidir.
Objective: Passive exposure to cigarette smoke is an important public health problem and is considered to be one of the most important external factors negatively affecting the health of infants and children. Cars are an important environment for exposure to cigarette smoke. This study aimed to determine passive smoking with cigarette smoke in private cars in children of smoker and non-smoker families.Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on parents who had children at the Antalya Atatürk Governmental Hospital (n = 524). The sample of the study consisted of 113 parents, whose children were 0-11 years of age, who voluntarily participated in the study and who had a private car. In the collection of the research data, the literature on the subject was searched and a form consisting of the descriptive characteristics of the families and questions related to the research topic was developed by the researchers.Results: Smoking frequency was found to be 31.0% for the mothers and 45.1% for the fathers. Most families (72.6%) declared that they did not give permission to smoke in the car when the children were present. According to their declaration, the percentage of smoker mothers who smoked in the car was 31.4 % and the percentage for the fathers was also 31.4%. The smoking mothers gave permission to other people to smoke in the car at higher rates than the smoker fathers (54.3% and 19.6%) (p<0.005). The less educated mothers and fathers smoked more in cars than the higher educated ones (p<0.05). Conclusion: Smoking mothers and fathers also smoked in the car and other people in the car were also more likely to smoke (p<0.005). The awareness of the families, especially smoker families, on exposure to tobacco smoke in cars with children should be increased. The families should develop rules banning smoking for themselves and the other adults traveling in their car with and without children
