Uporaba tobaka med študentsko populacijo : diplomsko delo

Pegam, Sandra (author), Razpotnik, Špela (mentor)

Diplomsko delo je razdeljeno na tri dele. V prvem delu sem predstavila glavne sestavine tobaka ter preučila zgodovino njegove uporabe. Zanimalo me je, kateri so glavni vzroki za začetek kajenja med mladimi. Poskušala sem odgovoriti na vprašanje, ali gre pri kajenju tako rekoč le za navado ali lahko govorimo že o zasvojenosti s tobakom. Pri tem sem se oprla na mnenja različnih avtorjev, ki si med seboj nasprotujejo. Pozorna sem bila na to, zakaj toliko mladih oz. študentov kadi, kaj jih pri kajenju privlači; zakaj je kajenje mnogim tako težko opustiti. V drugem delu sem predstavila štirifazni proces razvoja v kadilca, o katerem pišejo avtorji Čop, Perina, Hudek in Stergar; v nadaljevanju sem opredelila različne kategorije kadilcev. Predstavila sem tudi motivacijske postopke v procesu opustitve kajenja ter podala nekaj koristnih napotkov, ki bodo tako mladim kot tudi starejšim ljudem lahko v pomoč pri opuščanju kajenja. V empiričnem delu sem se poglobila v dejavnike in okoliščine, ki so povezane s tem, da nekateri začnejo kaditi, drugi pa ne. Zanimalo me je, koliko študentov razmišlja o prenehanju kajenja in koliko je tistih, ki jim je to že uspelo; katero metodo opustitve so pri tem izbrali oz. katero metodo opustitve kajenja bi izbrali, če bi se odločili, da bodo prenehali kaditi. Poleg tega me je zanimalo tudi, kaj študenti menijo o tem, kako bi morali ukrepati oz. kakšne zakone bi morali sprejeti v slovenski državi, da bi se zmanjšalo število kadilcev med mladimi. Podatke sem pridobila z anketnim vprašalnikom. Na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov sem ugotovila, da ne obstajajo statistično značilne razlike pri podvrženosti kajenju med študenti glede na to, kje živijo, glede na sestavo njihove družine, njihovo povprečno oceno, izobrazbo njihovih staršev. Prišla sem do spoznanja, da obstajajo statistično značilne razlike k nagnjenosti h kajenju glede na finančni položaj družine, in sicer so h kajenju bolj nagnjeni tisti, ki so manj zadovoljni s finančnim položajem družine.

Abstract

The thesis consists of three parts. The first part presents the main tobacco components and explores the history of its use. Then it looks into the main reasons for starting to smoke among young people and attempts to establish whether smoking is a mere habit or an actual tobacco addiction. It transpired that different authors have conflicting opinions about this question. Moreover, the thesis tries to determine why so many students smoke, what attracts them to smoking and why many of them find it so difficult to quit. The second part of the thesis deals with the four-phase process of developing into a smoker, which was elaborated by Čop, Perina, Hudek and Stergar, and defines different categories of smokers. Moreover, it presents motivational procedures while quitting and proposes some useful guidelines that may help both young and older smokers quit. The empirical part focuses on the factors and circumstances that are connected to whether a person starts smoking or not. It also explores how many students think about quitting and how many have already quit, which methods they chose or would choose if they decided to stop. We were also interested in their opinion on what should be done and what laws should be adopted in Slovenia to curb the habit among young people. Data was obtained using a survey questionnaire. Results indicate that there are no statistically significant differences in proneness to smoking among students with regard to where they live, their family structure, average grade, or education of their parents. However, statistically significant differences were observed in proneness to smoking with regard to the financial situation of the family, meaning that students who are less satisfied with the financial situation are more inclined to start smoking.
