  • Adolescent Health
  • Nursing Practice

Background:

  • Smoking initiation among teenage girls is a significant public health issue.
  • Reasons for smoking initiation in girls may differ from boys, yet prevention programs are scarce.
  • Addressing social influences, self-image, and self-esteem is crucial for this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on why teenage girls start smoking.
  • To identify nursing roles and opportunities in smoking prevention for adolescent girls.
  • To present a proposed smoking prevention program tailored for teenage girls.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review using professional journals, texts, MEDLINE, and PROQUEST.
  • Searched keywords included "smoking prevention," "tobacco use," "adolescents," and "teenage girls."
  • Analysis focused on reasons for smoking and existing prevention strategies.

Main Results:

  • Evidence indicates a rising incidence of smoking among teenage girls.
  • A significant gap exists in targeted smoking prevention programs for this population.
  • Social factors, self-image, and self-esteem appear particularly influential for girls.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses can play a vital role in preventing teenage girls from starting to smoke.
  • Adapting existing adolescent smoking prevention best practices is recommended.
  • The Theory of Reasoned Action can guide strategies addressing attitudes and beliefs influencing smoking behavior.
