| خلاصه مقاله | Background: Cigarette smoking is a known risk factor for the global burden of diseases, especially for chronic diseases like cancers, stroke, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Smoking is an act that commonly initiate in young ages or adolescence. Medical students are a sensitive population as they will be the providers of heath services and on the other hand, are considered as role models for other youngers in the community. The aim of this study was to determine the current status of smoking pattern among medical students in North-West of Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 in Tabriz city in North-West of Iran. We asked about the smoking status from 500 medical students of Tabriz University of Medical Science by an anonymous checklist consisted of demographic characteristics including age, gender, and marital status. The data of current use of cigarette was collected. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 16. We used the logistic regression to determine the association of smoking with demographic factors. A p-value of less than 0.05 was set significant. Results: The mean (SD) of age for participants was 23.85 (2.36) years, ranging from 18 to 34 years. In total, 94 (18.88%) of participants reported smoking cigarette for one or more than one day during the past month. Males were significantly more likely to smoke than females with a rate of 35.81%, versus 4.12% (OR: 12.98, 95%CI: 6.70-25.14). The logistic regression showed that the risk of smoking was increased by advancing the age by 16 percent per year of age (OR:1.16, 95%CI: 1.05-1.28). Marital tatus was not related to the smoking status. Conclusions: We can conclude that that about one-fifth of medical students were cigarette smokers. Although medical students are informed about the consequences of smoking, they may still start this act and get more with advancing the age. This may be relatively related to the peer-group effect since it was reported by a considerable number of students as the main motivator. It seems crucial to deliver appropriate interventions to screen and help the students in cessation. |
