Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the water/fluid intake patterns of students and affecting factors.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, water/fluid intake and affecting factors among 4922 students studying in primary, secondary and high schools in Ortahisar district of Trabzon province in 2017-2018 academic year were investigated. As the data collection tool, a questionnaire form evaluating sociodemographic characteristics and water/fluid consumption patterns was used.
Results: The plain water intake of the students was determined as 1199 ± 572 mL/day and the total fluid intake was found as 1611 ± 688 mL/day. In addition, it was revealed that daily fluid intake of 2098 (62.6%) of the students was below the sufficient amount advised by National Academy of Medicine (NAM). It was found that the amount of daily fluid intake of boys, older children, those whose maternal education level is high school or low, those who have maximum two siblings, and those who are not engaged in sportive activities was inadequate.
Conclusion: Daily fluid intake of more than half of the students is below the amount advised by NAM for children by age and gender groups. Considering the possible adverse consequences of this situation on health, it is suggested that appropriate interventions should be made to increase fluid intake of children.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada öğrencilerin su/sıvı tüketim özellikleri ve etkileyen faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmada Trabzon ili Ortahisar ilçesindeki ilkokul, ortaokul ve liselerde 2017-2018 yılında eğitim gören 4922 öğrencinin su/sıvı tüketimi ve etkileyen faktörler değerlendirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak sosyodemografik özellikler ve su/sıvı tüketim özelliklerinin değerlendirildiği anket formu kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin sade su tüketim miktarının 1199 ± 572 mL/gün, toplam sıvı tüketim miktarının ise 1611 ± 688 mL/gün olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin 2098’inin (%62,6) günlük toplam sıvı tüketiminin National Academy of Medicine (NAM) tarafından önerilen düzeyin altında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Erkeklerin, büyük çocukların, anne eğitim düzeyi lise ve altında olanların, kardeş sayısı iki ve daha az olanların ve sportif faaliyeti olmayanların günlük sıvı tüketim miktarının daha yetersiz olduğu saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Öğrencilerin yarısından fazlasının günlük sıvı tüketiminin NAM’ın çocuklar için yaş ve cinsiyet gruplarına göre önerdiği miktarın altında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu durumun sağlık üzerindeki olası olumsuz sonuçları dikkate alınarak çocukların sıvı alımını artırmak için uygun müdahalelerin yapılması önerilmektedir.
