在这项研究中，我们评估了意大利锡耶纳大学和佛罗伦萨大学的护士和医学生的吸烟习惯、信念和态度。1998年入学的一年级学生被要求完成一份自我管理的匿名问卷。200名医学生完成问卷调查；平均年龄（±SD）为19.8±1.7岁，其中68%为女性。共有205名护士参与问卷调查；平均年龄21.8±4.1岁，女性占83%。学生的整体回应率始终保持在85%以上。30%的医科学生现在是吸烟者，5%以前是吸烟者。共有43%的护生是现在的吸烟者，11.5%是曾经的吸烟者。护生比医学生更容易吸烟（p= 0.001）。在目前的吸烟者中，每天吸烟的数量和尼古丁成瘾的程度在两组之间没有差异。护生中母亲吸烟率较高。尽管学生们相信，但两组学生对吸烟的了解仍然普遍。护士学生比医学生更不清楚他们对吸烟的特殊责任。在调整吸烟状况后，这一差异仍然显著（p< 0.01）。学生们高估了当地医院保健人员、意大利人和青少年中当前吸烟者的流行程度。在意大利的医学和护士学校中，应该强制进行有针对性和持续的预防吸烟培训。
In this study we evaluated the smoking habits, beliefs and attitudes of nurse and medical students at the University of Siena and Florence, Italy. Students who entered the 1st year of school in 1998 were asked to complete a self-administered anonymous questionnaire. Two hundred medical students completed the questionnaire; they had a mean age (±SD) of 19.8 ± 1.7 years and 68% were females. A total of 205 nurse respondents answered to the questionnaire; they had a mean age of 21.8 ± 4.1 years and females were 83% of the total. The overall response rate among students always remained higher than 85%. Thirty per cent of medical students were current smokers, and 5% former-smokers. A total of 43% of nurse students were current smokers and 11.5% former-smokers. Nurse students were more likely to smoke than medical students (p= 0.001). Among current smokers, the number of daily cigarettes smoked and the degree of nicotine addiction did not differ between groups. The prevalence of maternal smoking were higher among nurse students. In spite of students' beliefs the knowledge about smoking remained generic in both groups. Nurse students were less aware than medical students of their special responsibility towards people about tobacco smoking. Such a difference remained significant also after adjustment for smoking status (p< 0.01). Students overestimated the prevalence of current smokers among health caregivers of the local hospitals, and Italian people and adolescents. Targeted and continuous training about smoking prevention should be mandatory in Italian medical and nurse schools.
