Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı lise öğrencileri arasında enerji içeceği tüketim sıklığını ve bu durumun algılanan stres ve uyku kalitesi üzerine olan etkilerini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmaya 2806 çocuk katıldı. Hazırlanan anket formu uygulandı. Anket formun ilk bölümü öğrencilerin sosyodemografik özelliklerini ve enerji içeceği tüketme durumları sorgulandı. Algılanan stres ve uyku kalite indeksleri uygulandı.
Bulgular: Öğrencileri ortalama yaşı 15.73 ± 1.16 yıl saptandı. Enerji içeceği tüketim sıklığı %70,8 (1988) belirlendi. Erkek cinsiyet, ayrılmış ailenin ferdi olmak, düzensiz uyku alışkanlığı, enerji içeceklerinin sağlıksız olduğunu ve bağımlılık yapıcı olduğunu düşünmek tüketim sıklığını etkileyen faktörler olarak saptandı. Ortama algılanan stres ve uyku kalite indeks puanları sırasıyla 28.95 ± 7.22 ve 6.56 ± 2.84 hesaplandı ve enerji içeceği tüketen öğrencilerin puanları tüketmeyenlere oranla daha yüksekti.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada enerji içeceği tüketim sıklığı oldukça yüksek saptandı. Enerji içeceği kullanımı algılanan stres düzeyini ve uyku kalitesini olumsuz etkilemekteydi. Öğrencilere yönelik bu içeceklerin zararlı etkilerini anlatacak eğitim programları hazırlanmalıdır.
Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of energy drink consumption and its effects on perceived stress and sleep quality among high school students.
Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 2806 students participated. A specific questionnaire was performed. The first part of the survey investigated the sociodemographic characteristics and the energy drink consumption habits of students. The perceived stress scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were performed.
Results:The mean age of students was 15.73 ± 1.16 years. The prevalence of energy drink consumption was %70,8 (1988). Male sex, being a member of divorced family, irregular sleep habits, and believing that energy drinks are unhealthy, and addictive significantly affected the frequency of energy drink usage.
The mean score of the students' Perceived Stress Scale was 28.95 ± 7.22 and the mean score of the PSQI was 6.56 ± 2.84. Perceived Stress Scale and PSQI scores of consumer students were higher than non-consumers.
Conclusion:Energy drink consumption was found to be quite frequent in the study group. Consumption of energy drinks negatively affected the level of stress and sleep quality. Educational programs should be provided to students on the harmful effects of these beverages.
