Özet:

 Objective: This study was designed to examine the effects of tobacco usage and secondhand smoke on exercise tolerance, fear of COVID-19 and physical activity level in young adults. Materials and Methods: The 126 participants who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 3 groups according to their smoking status as never exposed n28, passive smokers n69 and active smokers n29. Participants functional capacity was assessed with the 6-minute walk test, COVID-19 fear levels with the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, and physical activity levels with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results: The 6-minute walk test distances of the groups were similar p0.978. The groups were statistically different in terms of Fear of COVID-19 Scale scores p0.004, and post-hoc analysis revealed that this difference was due to the difference between passive smokers and active smokers p0.004. As a result of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire analysis, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of moderate-intensity activity, walking, total score and sitting time p0.05. Conclusion: It was determined that passive smokers were more affected by tobacco exposure status in terms of the fear of COVID-19 and physical activity level in young adult university students. These results revealed the negative effects of tobacco even in young university students with very low tobacco exposure. We thought that developing and maintaining smoking cessation politics and clean air space practices will be effective in preventing social health problems.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma genç erişkin bireylerde tütün kullanımı ve pasif içiciliğin egzersiz toleransı, COVİD-19 korkusu ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyi üzerine etkisini incelemek üzere planlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 126 katılımcı sigara kullanım durumlarına göre hiç maruziyeti olmayan n28, pasif içici n69 ve aktif içici n29 olarak 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Katılımcıların fonksiyonel kapasiteleri 6 dakika yürüme testi, COVİD-19 korku düzeyleri Koronavirüs Korku Ölçeği ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Grupların 6 dakika yürüme testi mesafeleri benzerdir p0,978. Grupların KKÖ skorları açısından istatistiksel olarak farklı olduğu p0,004, post-hoc analizde bu farkın pasif içiciler ile aktif sigara kullananlar arasındaki farktan kaynaklandığı belirlendi p0,004. Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi analizi sonucunda ise grupların orta şiddetli egzersiz, yürüme, toplam skor ve oturma süreleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu belirlendi p0,05. Sonuç: Tütün maruziyet durumunun genç erişkin üniversite öğrencilerinin COVİD-19 korkusu ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyi bakımından pasif içicilerin daha çok etkilendiği belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, tütün maruziyet miktarı oldukça düşük olan genç üniversite öğrencilerinde dahi, tütünün olumsuz etkilerini göstermektedir. Sigara bırakma politikalarının ve temiz hava sahası uygulamalarının geliştirilerek sürdürülmesi, toplumsal sağlık sorunlarının önlenmesinde etkili olacağını düşünmekteyiz.
