Abstract Details

2021, Bachelor of Science, Walsh University, Honors.
Electronic cigarettes are smoking devices that primarily deliver nicotine and possibly tetrahydrocannabinol to users through an inhaled aerosol. Despite the lack of data on the short- term and long-term effects of inhaling e-cigarette aerosols, these devices continue to grow in popularity. Negative attitudes towards conventional cigarette use has been researched within medical professionals, but no research has been done regarding negative attitudes towards e- cigarette use from medical professionals. Negative attitudes towards patients who use conventional cigarette can affect patient care outcomes. This research will examine the correlation between knowledge of e-cigarettes and negative attitudes towards them held by Nurse Anesthetists through a survey in a private Facebook group of Ohio Nurse Anesthetists. Negative attitudes in this study has been divided into two variables, health risk and health promotion. The hypothesized result of this study was a positive correlation between knowledge of e-cigarettes and negative attitudes towards e-cigarette users. This study showed a positive correlation between e-cigarette knowledge and negative attitudes towards e-cigarette users held by Nurse Anesthetists, meaning that when a participant scored higher in e-cigarette knowledge, they were likely to have stronger negative attitudes towards e-cigarette users.
