  • Public Health
  • Health Behavior

Background:

  • Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States.
  • Extensive evidence links tobacco use to increased morbidity and mortality.
  • Nursing research plays a vital role in addressing public health challenges like tobacco use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the inclusion of tobacco use in nursing research publications from 1952-2000.
  • To assess tobacco use in sample descriptions, as a variable, and as a finding.
  • To determine the frequency of research instruments developed for tobacco use studies.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 1,705 data-based articles and 197 research briefs from "Nursing Research" journal.
  • Inter-rater reliability established through re-review of 20% of issues across decades.
  • Categorization of articles based on the mention of tobacco use.

Main Results:

  • Only 2% (40 articles) of reviewed data-based articles mentioned tobacco use.
  • Tobacco use was included in sample descriptions (11), as a variable (11), or as a finding (18).
  • Most tobacco-related articles (53%) were published after 1990; none addressed prevention or secondhand smoke exposure.

Conclusions:

  • Tobacco cessation is an emerging topic in nursing research, reflecting growing public health focus.
  • Increased research is crucial for tobacco cessation and prevention strategies.
  • Nurses should consider tobacco use as a potential variable influencing study outcomes.
