Öğrencilerin enerji içeceği tüketim bilincinin ve alışkanlıklarının araştırılmasında bir meslek yüksekokulu örneği

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı yükseköğretim düzeyindeki öğrencilerin enerji içecekleri hakkında bilgi düzeylerini ve tüketim alışkanlıklarını belirlemektir. Araştırma evrenini Honaz Meslek Yüksekokulu öğrencileri oluştururken örneklemini anketi doldurmayı kabul eden toplam 100 öğrenci (58 kadın ve 42 erkek) oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada öğrencilere demografik özellikleri, enerji içecekleri hakkındaki bilgileri ve tüketim alışkanlıkları, sağlık üzerindeki etkileri hakkında sorular yöneltilmiştir. Yaşları 18-24 yıl arasında değişen öğrencilerden elde edilen verilere yüzde frekans dağılımı yapılmıştır. Katılımcıların %55 oranında enerji içeceği tükettiği, %73’ünü enerji içeceği hakkında bilgi sahibi olmadıklarını, enerji içeceklerinin şeker (%66) ve kafein (%44) içerdiğini, enerji içeceklerinin kalp için tehlikeli olduğunu (%62), uyku saatini azalttığını (%46) ifade etmişlerdir. Sonuç olarak; ön lisans öğrencilerinin %55’i tadını sevdikleri için enerji içeceği tükettikleri ve enerji içeceklerinin bileşenleri ve bu bileşenlerin sağlık açısından ortaya çıkardığı riskleri bilmedikleri saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin enerji içeceği tüketimi ve etkileri konusunda görsel medya ve yazılı kaynaklar aracılığı ile bilgi ve bilinç düzeyinin artırılması gerekmektedir
