Abstract:Objective To analyze the relationships of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use behavior with knowledge and cognition among medical students by structural equation model, and to provide new strategies for e-cigarette control activity. Methods From May to November 2022, a stratified multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to select 4,126 medical students from 3 medical universities in Guizhou Province to conduct a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was designed based on the China Youth Tobacco Epidemic Survey Questionnaire-2019 and related literatures, and the structural equation model was constructed and evaluated by AMOS 26.0 software. Results A total of 4,126 students were surveyed in this study, including 2,052 (49.73%) males and 2,074 (50.26%) females. There were 1,613 (39.09%)studeutsin the group aged 18 years and younger, 1,966 (47.65%) in the group aged 19-21 years, 547 (13.26%) in the group aged 22 years and above, 1,031 (24.99%) in the urban area group and 3,095 (75.01%) in the rural area group. The utilization rate of e-cigarette attempts among the medical students was 6.54%, the awareness rate of e-cigarette 89.99%, and the awareness rates of knowledge about different e-cigarettes were between 54.89% and 74.29%. As for attitude towards use of different e-cigarettes, the rates of positive attitude were between 4.56% and 21.43%. The goodness-of-fit effect of the final model was better. Results of the structural equation model displayed that factors influencing the medical students' e-cigarette usebehavior were knowledge (β=0.073, P< 0.05), cognition (β=0.051, P<0.05) and attitude (β=-0.150, P<0.05). The direct effect of knowledge on e-cigarette use behavior was higher than the indirect effect. Cognition and attitude had a direct effect on e-cigarette use behavior. Conclusion The levels of knowledge and cognition on e-cigarettes among the medical students need to be improved. The medical students' status of knowing knowledge regarding e-cigarettes can directly affect the use behavior of e-cigarettes, and also indirectly affect the use behavior of e-cigarettes through cognition and attitude. Comprehensive interventions should be conducted from three aspects of knowledge, cognition and attitude so as to promote the formation of anti-smoking awareness and reduce e-cigarette use behavior.
