Resumo
O presente estudo aborda de forma sistematizada o consumo do tabaco e seus derivados: narguilé e cigarro eletrônico, além de trazer uma conceituação acerca do uso do álcool. Sob este viés, o objetivo geral da pesquisa está em compreender o padrão de consumo de tais substâncias entre a população universitária nas regiões do Brasil e analisar o impacto das bebidas alcoólicas e da influência dos pares para a incidência de tais substâncias. Deste modo, através da formulação de perguntas específicas e semiestruturadas e a aplicação de questionários online, a amostra foi composta por 588 estudantes universitários pertencentes às diferentes instituições de ensino do Brasil. Entre os instrumentos utilizados: Questionário sociodemográfico para obter o perfil geral da amostra, uma versão adaptada do questionário Global Health Professional Student Survey, a fim de avaliar o consumo de cigarro eletrônico e narguilé. O AUDIT-C (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) para avaliar o consumo de álcool; além de um questionário para mensurar a influência social no consumo dessas substâncias. Confirmando nossa hipótese, ao observar a correlação de uso entre cigarro eletrônico-álcool e narguilé- álcool, observou-se que o uso das substâncias normalmente são realizados em contextos onde a disponibilidade de bebidas alcoólicas se faz presente. Com relação à influência social, notou-se que os participantes não continuariam a usar cigarro eletrônico e narguilé caso seus pares não utilizassem também, sugerindo que os pares e o contexto social são fatores que incidem para o uso de substâncias. Este estudo visou destacar a importância em compreender os padrões de consumo de substâncias psicoativas entre estudantes universitários e como as variáveis sociais podem influenciar esses padrões de uso. Os resultados ressaltam a complexidade da influência social no consumo de substâncias entre estudantes universitários e podem auxiliar a reflexão de estratégias de prevenção e intervenção direcionadas a essa população, fornecendo subsídios para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas de saúde mais eficazes.
This study systematically addresses the consumption of tobacco and its derivatives: hookahs and electronic cigarettes, as well as providing a conceptualization of alcohol use. From this point of view, the general objective of the research is to understand the pattern of consumption of these substances among the university population in the regions of Brazil and to analyze the impact of alcoholic beverages and the influence of peers on the incidence of these substances. Thus, through the formulation of specific, semi-structured questions and the application of online questionnaires, the sample consisted of 588 university students belonging to different educational institutions in Brazil. The instruments used included a sociodemographic questionnaire to obtain a general profile of the sample, and an adapted version of the Global Health Professional Student Survey questionnaire to assess electronic cigarette and hookah consumption. The AUDIT-C (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) to assess alcohol consumption, as well as a questionnaire to measure social influence on the consumption of these substances. Confirming our hypothesis, when observing the correlation of use between electronic cigarettes-alcohol and hookah-alcohol, it was observed that the use of these substances is usually carried out in contexts where alcoholic beverages are available. With regard to social influence, it was noted that participants would not continue to use e-cigarettes and hookahs if their peers did not also use them, suggesting that peers and social context are factors that influence substance use. This study aimed to highlight the importance of understanding psychoactive substance consumption patterns among university students and how social variables can influence these consumption patterns. The results highlight the complexity of the social influence on substance use among university students and may help to reflect on prevention and intervention strategies aimed at this population, providing input for the development of more effective public health policies.
