ÜNİVERSİTE ÇALIŞANLARINDA KAFEİN TÜKETİMİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, bir üniversitede çalışan akademik ve idari personelin günlük kafein tüketimlerini ve bunu etkileyen etmeleri belirlemek amacı ile yapılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma Ege Üniversitesi'ne bağlı çeşitli bölümlerde yalnızca kafein tüketme alışkanlığı olan bireylerde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini 362 birey oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak anket formu kullanılmış ve verilerin analizi SPSS 10.0 programı ile yapılmıştır.Bulgular : Günlük tüketilen kafein miktarı ortalaması 247.63 ± 174.62 mg olarak bulunmuştur. Cinsiyetin ve akademisyen olarak çalışmanın, tüketilen günlük kafein miktarını etkilemediği, çocukken çikolata alışkanlığı olan bireylerin tükettikleri günlük kafein miktarlarının daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştırSonuç: Erişkin çalışan bireylerin orta düzeyde kafein tükettikleri, ancak bu miktarın gelecekte kafein yoksunluğu belirtileri gelişmesi için zemin hazırlayabileceği söylenebilir. Toplumdaki bireyler dengeli beslenme hakkında eğitilirken, kafeinin zararları ve gıdalardaki ve içeceklerdeki kafein miktarları da buna dahil edilmelidir
