Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | Salud y Drogas | Abstract: | Introducción. El consumo de tabaco en pipa de agua se extiende a nivel mundial especialmente entre
adolescentes y jóvenes, conociéndose su distribución en diferentes países europeos, entre los que no figura
España. Objetivo. Identificar la prevalencia de su consumo en estudiantes canarios de educación
secundaria obligatoria y bachillerato. Método. Participaron 1770 alumnos de la provincia de Las
Palmas. La muestra se obtuvo estratificando cada bloque académico por áreas geográficas, agrupando a
los alumnos en tantos clusters como grupos había en el centro por cada uno de los cursos. El instrumento de
recogida de datos fue un cuestionario ad hoc, realizándose un análisis descriptivo (SPSS 17.0 para
Windows). Las proporciones se compararon utilizando el test de la χ2. Resultados. La prevalencia de consumo
(33.7%), es mayor entre las mujeres, los estudiantes de primero de Bachillerato y los que disponen de un
presupuesto semanal superior a 5 euros, siendo el patrón más frecuente, mensual (43.3%), de fin de
semana (89.4%) y en casa de amigos (46.9%) o en parques (38.2%). Conclusión. La considerable
prevalencia de este tipo de fumadores de tabaco hallada entre los adolescentes canarios alerta de una posible
subestimación de la frecuencia de tabaquismo en los adolescentes de nuestro país. Introduction. Waterpipe consumption is a worldwide phenomenon, especially among adolescents and young adults. There is data on its distribution in various European countries but Spain is not among them. Objective. To estimate the prevalence and to obtain the pattern of waterpipe tobacco consumption in secondary education and high school in Spanish students. Method. The study was carried out in 1770 students from the Province of Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain. To estimate the size of the sample, each academic block was stratified by geographic areas, grouping the students in as many clusters as groups there were in each centre and each course. Instrumental data was an ad hoc questionnaire designed for this study. Statistical analysis included a descriptive study (SPSS 17.0 Windows program). The study of the proportions was calculated using Chi-Square (Χ2) test. Results. Our results show a waterpipe tobacco consumption in 33.7% of all the students, being this consumption higher in girls from first course of high school who had a weekly income of more than 5 €. The pattern of consumption in our students was monthly (43.3%), every weekend (89.4%), and in a friend's house (46.9%) and in parks (38.2%). Conclusion. The considerable prevalence of this type of smoker among Canarian adolescents suggests a possible underestimation of the smoking frequency among Spanish adolescents. |
