Amaç: Genç yetişkinler üzerinde, riskli davranış ve alışkanlıklar bağlamında yapılan çalışmalarda madde bağımlılığının önem ve yaygınlığının giderek arttığı gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencileri arasında sigara, alkol ve bağımlılık yapıcı madde kullanımının yaygınlığını ve ilişkili faktörleri araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Kesitsel nitelikteki bu araştırmanın evrenini Tarsus Üniversitesinde ön lisans, lisans ve lisansüstü düzeylerde öğrenim gören 2.536 öğrenci oluşturmakta olup, anket formları çevrim içi yöntemle öğrencilerin tamamına ulaştırılmış ve 536 geri dönüş sağlanmıştır. Örneklem seçimi yapılmamış, evrenin %22’sine ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada sayı, oran, ortalama, standart sapma gibi tanımlayıcı istatistikler dört gözlü tablolardan elde edilen odds ratio’lar hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %26,9’u sigara, %17,6’sı alkol, %2,4’ü bağımlılık yapıcı madde kullandıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Hayat boyunca en az bir defa madde kullanma riskini yakın çevrede madde kullanıcısı olması 12.4 kat, aktif sigara içicisi olmak 9.5 ve sınıf tekrarı yapmak 8.9 kat artırmaktadır (p<0.001). Sonuç: Bağımlılık yapıcı madde kullanımıyla ilgili olarak gençlere ve ailelere yönelik bilinçlendirme programlarının önemi bu çalışmada da ortaya çıkmıştır. Özellikle, -ilk denenen ve diğer maddeleri kullanıma yönelmedeki risk faktörünü artıran- sigaranın kullanımını önleme çalışmalarına öncelik verilmesi önemli görülmektedir.

Aim: Studies conducted on young adults in the context of risky behaviors and habits show that the importance and prevalence of substance addiction is gradually increasing. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of cigarette, alcohol and drug use among university students and related factors. Method: The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of 2536 students studying at the associate, undergraduate and graduate levels at Tarsus University. The questionnaire forms were delivered to all of the students by online method and 536 responses were obtained. Sample selection was not made, 22% of the population was reached. In the study, descriptive statistics such as number, ratio, mean, and standard deviation and the relative risks were calculated from the four-cell tables. Results: 26.9% of the participants stated that they used cigarettes, 17.6% alcohol, and 2.4% drugs. The risk of using a substance at least once in a lifetime increases 12.4 times with the presence of a substance user in the immediate environment, 9.5 times by being an active cigarette smoker, and 8.9 times by repeating a grade. Conclusion: The importance of awareness-raising programs for young people and families regarding addictive substance use has also been emerged in this study. In particular, it is considered important to prioritize efforts to prevent smoking, which is first tried and increases the risk factor for using other substances.
