| description | Aim: Our aim was to evaluate Saudi patient knowledge and awareness regarding smoking as a risk factor for bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and erectile dysfunction (ED).
Settings and Design: This quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted across three major tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia.
Material and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 539 patients in the urology outpatient clinic.
Statistical Analysis: Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Studies 21.0. For descriptive statistics, the frequency was calculated for all study variables. Chi-squared test was used for categorical variables. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 539 urological patients completed the questionnaire. There were 460 (85.4%) male and 79 (14.6%) female respondents. Only 60.9%, 41.2%, and 36.9% of participants were aware that smoking was a risk factor for ED, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer, respectively.
Conclusions: The knowledge and awareness were low among urological patients regarding smoking as a risk factor for urological diseases. |
