Introdução: O tabagismo entre Enfermeiros representa um desafio significativo para a Enfermagem em Saúde Comunitária e Saúde Pública tendo em conta o papel estratégico destes profissionais na promoção da saúde das comunidades. O consumo de tabaco pode comprometer a credibilidade das políticas de controlo e a eficácia das intervenções para além de serem prejudiciais à sua saúde. Este estudo analisa a prevalência do tabagismo em Enfermeiros e as suas repercussões no contexto comunitário até março de 2026.
Metodologia: Estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal, com amostragem bola de neve. Os dados foram recolhidos via questionário e analisados no software IBM SPSS.
Resultados: A amostra (n=322) apresenta média de idades de 41,19 anos (Dp = 11,306) e 87,9% de predominância feminina. A prevalência tabágica autorreportada na amostra de enfermeiros inquiridos é de 21,1%, sendo o stress laboral o principal motivo apontado para o consumo (14,6%). Embora 56,5% das unidades possuam políticas de ambiente livre de fumo, 34,2% dos Enfermeiros referem carência de apoio institucional à cessação. Notavelmente, 70,8% reconhecem que o seu comportamento individual influência a adesão dos utentes às orientações de saúde, e 46,6% realizam sistematicamente o aconselhamento antitabágico.
Conclusões: O tabagismo entre Enfermeiros pode refletir o impacto do stress ocupacional e da escassez de programas de apoio institucional. Para potenciar a eficácia das intervenções comunitárias, é imperativo reforçar a saúde do cuidador. Garantir o bem-estar dos Enfermeiros é crucial para a sustentabilidade das políticas de Saúde Pública. Futuras investigações com amostras mais robustas deverão aprofundar a relação entre o contexto laboral e o consumo de tabaco.

Introduction: Smoking among nurses poses a significant challenge for community health nursing and public health, given the strategic role these professionals play in promoting community health. Tobacco use can undermine the credibility of tobacco control policies and the effectiveness of interventions, in addition to being harmful to their own health. This study analyzes the prevalence of smoking among nurses and its repercussions in the community context through March 2026. Methodology: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study using snowball sampling. Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using IBM SPSS software. Results: The sample (n=322) had a mean age of 41.19 years (SD = 11.306) and was 87.9% female. The smoking prevalence was 21.1%, with work-related stress being the main reason cited for smoking (14.6%). Although 56.5% of the units have smoke-free policies, 34.2% of nurses report a lack of institutional support for smoking cessation. Notably, 70.8% acknowledge that their individual behavior influences patients’ adherence to health guidelines, and 46.6% routinely provide smoking cessation counseling. Conclusions: Smoking among nurses may reflect the impact of occupational stress and the lack of institutional support programs. To enhance the effectiveness of community-based interventions, it is imperative to improve the health of healthcare providers. Ensuring the well-being of nurses is crucial for the sustainability of public health policies. Future research with larger samples should further explore the relationship between the work environment and tobacco use.
