Factores Socioculturales y Estilos de Vida Asociados al Tabaquismo en Comunidad Universitaria de Bolivia
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El tabaquismo es un problema de salud pública en comunidades universitarias. Este estudio transversal investigó la prevalencia y los factores socioculturales y de estilo de vida asociados al consumo de tabaco en 224 estudiantes y trabajadores de la Universidad Nacional Ecológica en Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Se encontró una prevalencia de tabaquismo del 76.3%. El análisis, mediante Chi-cuadrado y Odds Ratio (OR), reveló una fuerte asociación con tener fumadores en el hogar (OR: 4.8), familiares fumadores (OR: 2.4) y amigos fumadores (OR: 6.9). Asimismo, el estrés percibido se asoció significativamente con el hábito de fumar. Estos hallazgos subrayan la influencia del entorno social y el bienestar emocional en el tabaquismo, y la necesidad de desarrollar intervenciones de salud pública culturalmente adaptadas para la prevención y cesación del tabaquismo en el contexto universitario boliviano.
