Is there any specific education discipline associated with a risk for developing smoking habit and possible sleep bruxism? A study on university students.

Abstract

Background:The aim of this study was to evaluate whether different disciplines of education had any impact on developing smoking habit and possible sleep bruxism in university students from different disciplines of education, and to assess the potential relationship between smoking and possible bruxism.

Methods:The study was conducted retrospectively using data from questionnaires completed by a total of 457 university students including 195 males (43%) and 262 females (57%) with an age range of 17-34 years who admitted to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology of the Faculty of Dentistry, Cumhuriyet University for dental care between 2012 and 2014. On these questionnaires, responses to questions concerning sociodemographic data, smoking habit, possible sleep bruxism and the faculties of students had been recorded. A chi-square test was utilized for the statistical analyses of the study findings using the SPSS 20.0 software.

Results:Smoking habit was significantly more prevalent in engineering students and males (p <0.05). Although the frequency of possible sleep bruxism was higher in smoking students compared to non-smokers, the difference was not significant. Neither gender nor education discipline was significantly associated with possible sleep bruxism (p> 0.05).

Conclusions:While different education disciplines were found to have an impact on smoking habit, they had no effect on possible sleep bruxism.

Belli eğitim disiplinleri sigara alışkanlığı ve muhtemel uyku bruksizminin gelişiminde bir risk faktörü müdür? Üniversite öğrencilerinde bir çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı farklı eğitim disiplinlerinde öğrenim gören üniversite öğrencilerinde, eğitimin sigara alışkanlığı ve muhtemel uyku bruksizmi eğilimine olan etkisini ve varsa sigara ve muhtemel uyku bruksizminin ilişkisini değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve Yöntemler:Çalışma, Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalı’na 2012- 2014 tarihleri arasında başvuran, 17-34 yaş aralığında 262’si kız (%57) ve 195’i (%43) erkek olmak üzere 457 üniversite öğrencisinin doldurduğu formlar üzerinden retrospektif olarak yürütüldü. Bu formlarda öğrencilerin, sosyodemografik bilgileri, okudukları bölüm, sigara alışkanlığı ve muhtemel uyku bruksizm varlığına yönelik sorulara verdikleri cevaplar kaydedildi. Bulguların istatistiksel değerlendirilmesi SPSS. 20 programında ki-kare analizi kullanılarak yapıldı. Bulguların istatistiksel değerlendirilmesi SPSS. 20 programında ki-kare analizi kullanılarak yapıldı.

Bulgular:Sigara alışkanlığı mühendislik bölümü öğrencilerinde ve erkeklerde anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Sigara kullanan öğrencilerde muhtemel uyku bruksizmi görülme sıklığı yüksek olsa da bu fark anlamlı değildi (p>0.05). Cinsiyet ve eğitim disiplinlerinin muhtemel uyku bruksizmiyle arasında anlamlı bir ilişki yoktu (p>0.05). 

Sonuçlar:Eğitim disiplinlerinin sigara alışkanlığında etkisi bulunurken, muhtemel uyku bruksizmi üzerinde bu etki görülmemiştir. 

Anahtar Kelimeler:bruksizm, fakülte, sigara alışkanlığı, üniversite öğrencisi.
