“…Statistically significant correlation was found between nicotine dependence and psychological demand (p < 0.001). The same result arose by multiple regression analysis while controlling for age (standardized beta TDS = 0.417, p = 0.009) [34]. …”

“…Job stress at the workplace was described in terms of psychological demand, decision latitude, supervisor support and coworker support [34] or by working more than 18 hours per week [36]. Eriksen’s study mentioned the social climate and the exposure to threats and violence as factors that caused stress at work [37].…”

“…Moreover, the relationship between job stress and tobacco use could be stronger in hospital with high smoking prevalence among nurses and among shift workers. Tobacco use may be a way of stress management instead of using other measures of stress reduction [34]. The results of Sarna’s et al study indicated that smoking was not just a personal issue, but it was affecting nurses’ ability to cope with stress.…”

“…Rowe and Macleod Clark performed a systematic review about the reasons that nurses smoke and they concluded that nurses were subject to the same kinds of stress as other females and thus were smoking for the same reasons [7]. The relationship between job stress and nicotine dependence could be stronger in hospitals with higher smoking prevalence among nurses, because it was speculated that nurses in such hospitals would be more allowed to smoke when feeling stressful during their assignment [34]. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a summary of the existing published knowledge on the nurses’ tobacco consumption as a coping mechanism against stressful working environment.…”

The aim of this study was to provide a summary of the existing published knowledge on the possible relationship between the workplace as a stressor factor and nurses’ tobacco use. A systematic review of the literature from 1995 to 2009, using the MEDLINE database took place. Studies, that referred to nurses’ smoking habit exclusively or as a part of the study, were included in the review. 491 studies were retrieved and their titles/abstracts were examined systematically. Twenty one studies were retrieved for further consideration by a comprehensive literature review. Ten studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria and they were examined further. There is a conflict on the possible relationship between workplace as a stressor factor and nurses’ smoking habits, because there is no evidence on if the nurses’ work environment causes smoking initiation.

ObjectiveThis study analyses the association between occupational stress factors and nicotine dependence. Our hypothesis is that occupational stress factors increase nicotine dependence.MethodsData were taken from the Cologne Smoking Study, a case-control study that examines which genetic/psychosocial factors lead to a higher risk for smokers to suffer from cardiac infarction, lung cancer and/or to become addicted to nicotine. Our sample consisted of N = 197 currently smoking and employed participants. Nicotine dependence was measured using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). The extent of the stress factors experienced at work was assessed using the Effort-Reward Imbalance scale (ERI). Logistic regression was used for the statistical analysis.ResultsContrary to our hypothesis, the results show that occupational stress factors are actually associated with lower levels of nicotine dependence (N = 197; adjusted OR = 0.439; p = .059).ConclusionsOne possible explanation for the study's findings is that the participants have a heavy workload and can only smoke in their spare time. Another reason may be workplace smoking bans. Furthermore, the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence is unable to examine nicotine dependence during working hours.
