بررسی نقش دینداری در گرایش به سیگار نوجوانان پسر شهر تهران

پژوهش با هدف بررسی رابطۀ دینداری با گرایش به سیگار نوجوانان انجام شده است. جامعۀ آماری این پژوهش شامل دانش‌آموزان پسر دبیرستان‌های شهر تهران است که با بهره‌گیری از روش نمونه‌گیری خوشه‌ای چندمرحله‌ای تعداد 290 نفر انتخاب شدند. به‌منظور گرد‌آوری اطلاعات از پرسشنامه‌های دینداری گلاک و استارک (1965) و اعتیاد به نیکوتین فیروزآبادی (1395) استفاده شد. برای تجزیه‌ و تحلیل داده‌ها، از روش‌های همبستگی پیرسون و رگرسیون چندگانه بهره گرفته شد. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهند که بین دینداری و اعتیاد به سیگار همبستگی معناداری وجود دارد و همچنین همبستگی بین نمرۀ کلی دینداری با اعتیاد به سیگار، منفی (0/360-) است و بر این اساس می‌توان گفت افرادی که دینداری بیشتری دارند، میزان اعتیاد به سیگار کمتری دارند. نتایج مربوط به تحلیل رگرسیون چندگانه برای پیش‌بینی اعتیاد به سیگار از طریق ابعاد دینداری، نشان داد که ابعاد دینداری به‌جز بعد عاطفی قادر به پیش‌بینی اعتیاد به سیگار می‌باشند.

the role of religiosity in tendency to smoke among adolescent boys in tehran

the present study aims to investigate the relationship between religiosity and cigarette smoking in male adolescents. the statistical population of this study includes male senior high school students in tehran. multi-stage cluster sampling was used to select 290 students who filled out golak and stark religiosity questionnaire (1965) and firoozabadi nicotine addiction questionnaire (2016) to collect information. data was analyzed with pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. findings revealed a significant correlation between religiosity and cigarette addiction. the correlation between total score of religiosity and cigarette addiction is inverse (-0.360) such that the more religious an individual is, the lower their cigarette addiction rate is. the results of multiple regression analysis indicate that religiosity dimensions, except for experience dimension, can predict cigarette addiction.introduction: drug abuse among adolescents is currently one of the health, social and economic issues across the world, which directly affects their health (delavari heravi et al., 2005). drug abuse starts in many people at high school, therefore, one of the most important ways to reduce drug abuse in adulthood is to control it in adolescence. studies show that most adolescents start using drugs around the age of 12 or 13. researchers argue that adolescents start using legal substances such as tobacco and then turn to illegal substances such as alcohol, inhalants and marijuana (pumariega et al., 2005). many researchers believe that faith and religiosity can help individuals deal with emotions and social conditions. besides, religiosity is correlated with several mental health indicators; for example, religious people turn to delinquency, drug and alcohol abuse, divorce and suicide less frequently than non-religious people (diener et al., 2002: 82). some factors affect drug abuse as protective factors and others as risk factors. one of the protective factors is religiosity, reported in some studies (wills et al., 2003: 24) as a shield against drug dependence. recent studies on the relationship between religiosity and the tendency to smoke in adolescents in iran have been conducted mostly with study populations of university students and adults, and most studies have focused on religiosity with other issues (identity crisis, lifestyle, etc.). therefore, given the importance of this subject and its potential impact on committing high-risk behaviors such as the tendency to smoke, this study was conducted to investigate the role of religiosity in the tendency to smoke among male adolescents in tehran.methodology: the research method in this descriptive study was correlational, which is classified as applied research. the study population consisted of all male students aged 15 to 18 in tehran (n = 364,118 according to the statistics of the general directorate of education of tehran province).
