Description
Ashraf Jehad Abuejheisheh and a large team of co-authors survey smoking and stress among Palestinian nursing faculty, in a two thousand twenty-five nationwide study. Health educators who smoke undermine their own role modeling.
One hundred sixty-four faculty from seventeen institutions answered questionnaires including a standard stress scale. Smoking prevalence was thirty-seven percent, cigarettes the usual form, driven by peers, stress relief, and cultural norms; women and single participants smoked more. Nearly half reported moderate to extremely severe occupational stress, and current smokers were more stressed than others. Stress fell with age. The authors recommend culturally tailored cessation programs and tobacco-free campus policies.
