AB [EN AbstractThe role of nursing students as future health promoters of healthy behaviors is influenced by their attitude towards smoking. A crosssectional study using a self-administered survey was performed to analyze smoking prevalence among undergraduate the nursingstudents who attend nursing faculties in 2 European countries (Spain and Portugal) during academic period 2015 to 2016. A total of1469 subjects were surveyed (response rate of 79.8%). An 80% of the students were female with a mean age of 21.9 (4.8) years. Theoverall prevalence of tobacco use was 18.9%, with an average percentage of 16.2% in Portugal and 18.3% in Spain. Statisticalsignificance was observed in relation to smoke and previous studies (16.4% vs 27.1%; P<.001). Only 1.1% of the students reportedusing electronic cigarette. 15.8% of smokers started smoking while at university with statistical gender and previous studiesdifferences (P<.001). Fagerström and Richmond test showed low nicotine dependence (2.8±2) and moderate motivation to stopsmoking (4.9±3), respectively. Smoking prevalence among nursing students was slightly higher than the general Europeanpopulation. For that reason, measures to reduce tobacco use have to be focused on students and university policies on tobaccocontrol should be a challenge in the future.
