Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Türkiye is the leading country that has been applying the MPOWER criteria of the World Health Organization for years. However, the prevalence of smoking among nurses appears to be high, according to the literature. Therefore, we aimed to determine the prevalence, addiction levels, and dynamics of tobacco smoking among nurses in Türkiye.
METHODS: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, a questionnaire (prepared in cooperation with the \"World Health Organization\") and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence were administered to 529 nurses working at a tertiary-care university hospital in 2020. Logistic regression was performed to determine factors predicting smoking.
RESULTS: The prevalence of smoking among nurses was 32.7% (n = 173). The mean Fagerström test score indicated a \"low dependence\" level (score: 3 ± 2.6). Both results were higher for males. A relationship was found between trying smoking cigarette and hookah. Of the \"current smokers\" group, 102 (60.4%) stated that they wanted to quit smoking. Only 21 (27.6%) of the nurses who have tried to quit smoking thus far have received professional help.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of smoking among nurses working at a tertiary-care university hospital was relatively low compared to that among nurses in Türkiye. While females are normally expected to smoke less, the high prevalence of smoking among nurses (most of them female) raises the question of the professional basis of this situation. However, the low rate of receiving professional help reveals the lack of promotion and accessibility of smoking cessation outpatient clinics in the faculty environment. Finally, the perception that hookah is an alternative tobacco product leads to cigarette smoking. The good news was that nurses had a low dependency rate.

摘要：
目的：Türkiye是多年来一直采用世界卫生组织MPOWER标准的领先国家。然而,护士的吸烟率似乎很高，根据文献。因此,我们的目的是确定患病率，成瘾水平,以及图尔基耶护士吸烟的动态。
方法：在这项描述性横断面研究中，2020年,我们对在一所三级护理大学医院工作的529名护士进行了调查问卷(与"世界卫生组织"合作编制)和Fagerström尼古丁依赖测试.进行Logistic回归以确定预测吸烟的因素。
结果：护士吸烟率为32.7%(n=173)。平均Fagerström测试得分表示“低依赖性”水平（得分：3±2.6）。男性的两个结果均较高。在尝试吸烟和水烟之间发现了一种关系。在“当前吸烟者”组中，102人（60.4％）表示他们想戒烟。到目前为止，只有21名（27.6％）尝试戒烟的护士获得了专业帮助。
结论：与图尔基耶的护士相比，在三级护理大学医院工作的护士的吸烟率相对较低。虽然女性通常会减少吸烟，护士（其中大多数是女性）的高吸烟率提出了这种情况的专业基础的问题。然而,获得专业帮助的低比率表明，在教师环境中，戒烟门诊诊所缺乏推广和可及性。最后,认为水烟是一种替代烟草产品会导致吸烟。好消息是护士的抚养率很低。
