Since Aaron Antonovsky’s salutogenesis theory and Morgan and Ziglio’s health assets model were first proposed, there has been a growing concern to define the resources available to the individual and the community to maintain or improve health and well-being. The aim of the present study was to identify the dimensions that characterise community assets for health. To this end, we conducted a systematised review with a meta-synthesis and content analysis of research or projects involving asset mapping in the community. Articles that met our eligibility criteria were: (1) based on the salutogenic approach and (2) described an assets mapping process and among their results, explained what, how and why particular community assets for health had been selected. The search included primary studies in the published and grey literature which were selected from websites and electronic databases (Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus, EBSCOhost, Dialnet, SciELO). Of the 607 records examined by a single reviewer, 34 were included in the content analysis and 14 in the qualitative synthesis. Using an inductive process, we identified 14 dimensions with 24 categories, for which in-depth literature reviews were then carried out to define specific indicators and items. These dimensions were: utility, intention, previous use, accessibility (“circumstances–opportunity–affordability”), proximity-walkability, connectivity, intelligibility (visibility, transparency), identity (uniqueness, appropriability, attachment), design (configuration, functionality, comfort), safety (objective/subjective), diversity, the dimension of public and private, and sustainability (which includes maintenance, profitability or economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, centrality-participation and equity-inclusiveness).

Objetivo: describir el consumo de tabaco en estudiantes de nivel técnico de Enfermería de Teziutlán (Puebla, México) durante el periodo de exámenes. Así mismo se evaluaron diferencias en función del sexo, el tipo de familia y el curso académico. Método: estudio descriptivo transversal realizado en marzo de 2020 en dos escuelas de Enfermería de Teziutlán. Para una n= 936 se estimó una muestra de 460 personas. Se llevó a cabo un muestreo por conveniencia. Se recogieron variables socio-demográficas (edad, sexo, curso académico, tipo de familia) y el cuestionario para la clasificación de consumidores de cigarrillos (C4) para jóvenes que establece cuatro niveles de consumo: bajo, moderado, alto y dependiente. Se realizaron índices de estadística descriptiva y análisis bivariantes. Resultados: participaron 552 estudiantes (media 17 años) de los cuales el 60,8% (n= 336) era fumador [55% de las mujeres (n= 160) y 68% de los hombres (n= 260); p< 0,001]. De ellos el 65% (n= 218) tenía un nivel moderado de consumo. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p= 0,001) en el consumo en función del tipo de familia, mayor en monoparentales maternas [47,7% (n= 160)]. No hubo diferencias en el nivel de consumo en función del curso, ni del sexo (p> 0,05). Conclusión: la proporción de estudiantes técnicos de Enfermería que fuman en tiempo de evaluación es alta y superior en hombres que en mujeres. El nivel de consumo (C4) es habitualmente moderado y varía en función del tipo de familia, pero no del curso ni del sexo., Objective: to describe the use of tobacco among students of Nursing at technical level in Teziutlán (Puebla, Mexico) during the exam period. Likewise, differences were assessed based on gender, type of family, and academic year. Method: a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted on arch, 2020 in two Nursing schools from Teziutlán. A sample of 460 persons was estimated for a n= 936. Convenience sampling was conducted. Sociodemographic variables were collected (age, gender, academic year, type of family), and the questionnaire for classification of cigarette users (C4) for young persons, which determines four levels of use: low, moderate, high, and dependent. Descriptive statistical indexes and bivariate analyses were applied. Results: the study included 552 students (mean 17 years old); 60.8% of them (n= 336) were smokers [55% of women (n= 160) and 68% of men (n= 260); p< 0.001]. Out of these, 65% (n = 218) had a moderate level of use. Statistically significant differences in use (p= 0.001) were found based on type of family: it was higher in those with a single female parent [4.7% (n= 160)]. No differences were found in the level of use based on the academic course or gender (p> 0.05). Conclusion: there is a high proportion of Nursing assistant students who smoke during the time of evaluation, and this is higher among men than in women. The level of use (C4) is typically moderate, and varies based on type of family, but not on academic year or gender.
