| خلاصه مقاله | Background: Smoking is an established risk factor for many diseases and a worldwide health issue. Studies suggest that the initiation age of smoking has decreased to less than 13 years old children. It has been indicated that about 80% of smokers in Iran have started smoking before the age of 18 years. Multiple behavioral factors have been investigated according to this habit. Mindfulness training was proposed to be beneficial in smoking cessation programs. However, it is controversial if the mindfulness level can be a risk factor for smoking initiation. We aimed to assess the medical students’ smoking status with their mindfulness score. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among the medical students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. In order to collect data Freiburg Mindfulness Questionnaire was used with 14 items and four-option answers. The total score of this scale was calculated by summing up the items’ scores which was ranged from 14 to 56. This scale was analyzed in wo groups of students who were current smokers and non-smokers. We investigated only the male students in this study as the smoking is more prevalent in Males than women. Other exclusion criteria were ex-smokers and subjects who were reluctant to participate. A total of 25 students were included in each group. The SPSS software was used to analyze the data with T-test. P-value of lower than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age of the students was 22 (2.9) years old. In total the score of the mindfulness questionnaire among all students was 30 with standard deviation of 2.81. No significant difference was found in the score of the mindfulness questionnaire between the smokers and non-smokers. However, the mean score of mindfulness was lower among smokers than non-smokers showing the score of 28.5 (4.8) versus 31.4 (3.6). Conclusions: The mindfulness score was higher in non-smokers but the analysis did not reveal a significant difference with smokers. The mindfulness status was indicated to be a potential predisposing or preventive factor for smoking. The total score of mindfulness was relatively low in all participated students that necessitate the proper interventions to empower the teenagers and young people for this skill. Our findings were limited because of a low sample size and we propose for planning larger research to check this association. |
