| Abstract | Pušenje je javno zdravstveni problem. Posljedice ovog problema uzrokuju smanjenje kvalitete života i dovode do prerane smrti. Pušenje utječe na dišni, krvožilni, probavni i živčani sustav te na reproduktivno zdravlje. Količina popušenih cigareta kao i vremenski period konzumiranja cigarete je povezana s kroničnim zdravstvenim problemima. Najčešće pušenje započinje u adolescenciji a socijalna sredina doprinosi u stvaranju navike pušenja. Ovisnici su pretežno mlade nezrele osobe koje u pušenju traže način da pobjegnu od toga što ne mogu konstruktivno rješavati vlastite probleme, konflikte ili tegobe te stalnim posezanjem za cigaretom stvara se ovisnost te pušenje postaje stil života a sama osoba njezin doživotni rob.
U radu je analizirano anketno istraživanje koje je provedeno na uzorku od 177 učenika Srednje škole u Maruševcu s pravom javnosti pomoću Google obrasca na internetu na razrednim satovima medicinskih i fizioterapeutskih smjerova te je time osigurana i anonimnost ispitanika. Istraživanje je provedeno u veljači 2022. godine. Statistička obrada i analiza podataka napravljena je kompjutorskim programom SPSS Statistics, verzija 24.0. Najveći broj sudionika je ženskog spola (70,1%) u dobi od 15 godina (29,9%). Najveći broj sudionika bio je smjera obrazovanja medicinska sestra opće njege/medicinski tehničar opće njege (55,4 %) od kojih je 65 (82,30%) pušača dok u fizioterapeutskom smjeru puši 14 (17,70%) učenika. Od ukupno 177 sudionika, 129 je navelo kako nisu pušači. 71 (40,1%) učenik ovog istraživanja nema pušača u obitelji.
Prema rezultatima ispitanici uglavnom smatraju da je pušenje štetno za zdravlje „Svjestan/a sam štetnosti pušenja po zdravlje“ dok su se najmanje slagali s tvrdnjom “Ako mi netko ponudi cigaretu u školi pušit ću”. Prema rezultatima upitnika o znanju štetnosti pušenja u najvećoj mjeri su se slagali sa tvrdnjom “Kao budući zdravstveni djelatnici trebali bi biti primjer drugima u očuvanju svog zdravlja i ne pušiti“. Zdravstveni djelatnici trebali bi biti primjer članovima zajednice i ne konzumirati duhanske proizvode te provoditi kvalitetne edukacije o štetnosti pušenja. Vrlo je važno populaciju educirati o tome da ne postoji manje štetan duhanski proizvod kao što niti ne postoji količina nikotina koja nije štetna. Pušenje je štetno, i svaki pušač treba shvatiti da svjesno ugrožava vlastito zdravlje kao i zdravlje ljudi u svojoj okolni. |
| Abstract (english) | Smoking is a public health issue. The consequences of this issue cause a decrease in the quality of life and lead to premature death. Smoking affects the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems and reproductive health. The number of cigarettes smoked as well as the period of cigarette consumption are associated with chronic health problems. Smoking usually begins in adolescence and the social environment influences smoking behaviour. Smokers are predominantly young, immature people who are using cigarettes to escape from the fact that they cannot constructively solve their problems, conflicts or complaints. By constantly reaching for a cigarette, they create an addiction, smoking becomes a lifestyle and the person a slave for life.
This paper analyses a survey that was conducted on a sample of 177 students at Adventist Secondary School Maruševec (Srednja škola u Maruševcu s pravom javnosti) using an online Google form during form classes in nursing and physical therapy programs, which ensured the anonymity of the respondents. The survey was conducted in February 2022. Statistical data processing and analysis was done with the computer software SPSS Statistics, version 24.0. The largest number of respondents were females (70,1%) aged 15 (29, 9%). Also, the largest number of respondents were from the nursing program (55,4 %) of which 65 (82,30%) are smokers, while 14 (17,70%) students in the physiotherapy major smoke. Out of a total of 177 participants, 129 stated that they don’t smoke.
According to the results, the respondents mostly believe that smoking is detrimental to health “I am aware of the consequences of smoking for my health.” while they least agreed with the statement “If I were offered a cigarette at school, I would smoke.” According to the results of the questionnaire on knowledge of the harmful effects of smoking, they mostly agreed with the statement "As future healthcare professionals, we should be an example to others when it comes to protecting our health and NOT smoke.” Healthcare professionals should be an example to community members and not smoke and they should conduct workshops on the effects of smoking. It is of utmost importance to educate people that no tobacco product is less harmful, just like no amount of nicotine is harmless. Smoking is harmful and each smoker needs to understand that they are knowingly jeopardizing their health, as well as the health of people around them. |
