“…In a community of Spanish university students, 37.7% have been reported to smoke (Molina et al, 2012), which is a greater percentage than that indicated by Hernández-Serrano, Font-Mayolas, & Eugènia-Gras (2015), who found that, in a sample of 478 university students, 17.4% admitted to being cigarette smokers. However, with a sample of 4381 university students, Martínez et al (2019) found that 29.7% reported being smokers, a prevalence that is similar to the 25.9% reported by Álvarez-Pérez et al (2017) among Education students, but considerably higher than the 16.7% of smokers reported among students of Health-related subjects. Among first-year university students, it was observed that 17.3% reported smoking tobacco daily whilst 13.5% reported smoking occasionally.…”

In a sample of 444 university students, the subjective quality of sleep was analyzed and compared between smokers and non-smokers. Nicotine dependence was assessed using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence and the subjective quality of sleep was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Of the sample, 41.2% admitted to smoking daily. Poor sleep quality was reported by 45.7% of the sample (scores of > 5 on the PSQI). Smokers presented a risk of poor sleep quality that was greater than that of non-smokers with an Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.42 (95% CI [.990-2.074]). Smokers appear to have an increased risk of long sleep latencies with an OR = 1.50 (95% CI [1.018-2.213]). Moreover, smokers have a greater risk of showing high sleep disturbance with an OR = 2.45 (95% CI [1.391-4.304]). It is necessary to extend the studies that link sleep with cigarette smoking, and to explore the factors that modulate these causal relationships.

“…More specifically, they reported 6.6% use during the first year and 23.9% during the fourth year of studies (RR 2.42; 95% CI 1.02–5.73). Deasy, Coughlan, Pironom, Jourdan, and Mcnamara (2015) reported a 6‐month prevalence of 11.6% for all year of studies, almost equal to the prevalence reported for nursing students in 15 Spanish universities (Martínez et al, 2019). However, any attempt for direct comparison is unfeasible because illicit drug use exhibits quite different usage trajectories during undergraduate studies, and any comparison should be made between similar time periods (Da Silveira et al, 2008).…”

Aim: The aim of this paper is to compare the evolution of health risk behaviours between undergraduate nursing and social work students. Background: Nursing includes the promotion of health and the shaping of healthy behaviours. An important determinant for providing lifestyle advice is the lifestyle of nurses themselves. Design: Longitudinal comparative study. Measurements: We compared lifestyle risk behaviours (binge drinking, cannabis/hashish/marijuana use, smoking, oral hygiene/toothbrushing, breakfast/fruit/vegetable consumption, physical activity and screen time/sedentary behaviours) using a self-administered standardized questionnaire in nursing (n = 121) and social work (n = 140) students at the beginning (2012) and the end of their studies (2015). Adjusted multivariable logistic/Poisson regression models were performed. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the departments in most risk factors in both assessments. However, in relation to their first year, both nursing and social work students displayed higher relative risk of engaging in more behavioural risk factors at the end of their studies (in delivery/junk food consumption, sunburns, hashish/marijuana use and multiple sexual partners). Social work students displayed better behaviours in physical activity and breakfast intake. Conclusion: Nursing students share the patterns of their nonnursing peers in behavioural risk factors compromising their future health and health-promoting role. We need strategies to safeguard the professional nursing practice.

“…However, the frequencies were lower than a similar study carried out with psychology students from northeastern Brazil, which identified alcohol consumption in 43.97% of participants, followed by marijuana and cigarettes with 18.6% and 9.48%, respectively (20) . A Spanish multicenter study carried out with 4381 nursing students identified that 29.7% were smokers, 11.5% used marijuana and men were more likely to use cigarettes and/or marijuana than women (21) . Despite the variation presented in the studies, the literature has highlighted the prevalence of high alcohol, nicotine and marijuana consumption among undergraduate students, but the socio-cultural, climatic or economic differences may be related to this variation (17,(22)(23) .…”

Are symptoms of depression and anxiety in nursing students associated with their sociodemographic characteristics?

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: to investigate symptoms of depression and anxiety and their association with the sociodemographic characteristics of undergraduate nursing students. Methods: a cross-sectional analytical study carried out with students from the Faculty of Nursing at Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora from June to July 019. Data were collected through a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories. Results: 192 students participated, with a mean age of 21.44 (±3.56) years. 85.93% of participants were female. The mean depression score was 22.40 (±12.35), and anxiety was 17.56 (±11.98). There was a difference in the mean of the scales for sex and psychotropic drugs (p<0.05). Women presented moderate and severe classification for both scales. Severe symptoms prevailed among students from the 6th to the 10th semester (18.22%). Conclusion: there was an association between depression and anxiety symptoms related to gender and psychotropic drugs.
