Smoking and Vaping Profiles of Healthcare Workers and Their Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors Regarding Vaping
1Department of Public Health Nursing, Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Aim:
This study was conducted to determine the smoking and vaping profiles of healthcare workers and their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding vaping.
Methods:
The sample of this cross-sectional study consisted of 350 healthcare workers, including physicians, nurses, and midwives, working in public hospitals in a province between April 2024 and June 2024. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence.
Results:
It was determined that 4.6% of the participants both smoked and vaped. More than half of the participants thought that vaping did not have an effect on smoking cessation, and it could lead individuals who never smoked to take up smoking. The smoking rates of the participants who vaped were significantly higher than those who did not vape.
Conclusion:
It was concluded that healthcare professionals' perceptions of the harmful effects of electronic cigarettes on health are at a good level; however, despite this good perception of harm, their smoking and vaping rates were similar to those of the general public.
