| Abstract | Cilj: Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je istražiti ciklus budnost-spavanje u studenata i studentica Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu pomoću upitnika „Jeste li jutarnji ili večernji tip“, promjene cirkadijanog ritma tijekom šest godina studija, te njihov utjecaj na akademski uspjeh studenata. Materijali i metode: Provedeno je presječno istraživanje u koje su uključeni studenti i studentice svih šest godina studija Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu u akademskoj godini 2011/2012. Studenti i studentice dobili su anonimne upitnike za vrijeme nastave koji su sadržavali pitanja o dobi, spolu, studiju/smjeru i prosjeku ocjena, te 19 pitanja iz upitnika „Jeste li jutarnji ili večernji tip“, na temelju kojih se bodovanjem odredilo je li osoba jutarnji ili večernji tip. Rezultati: Broj bodova dobiven upitnikom „Jeste li jutarnji ili večernji tip“, kretao se od najmanjeg 22 boda do najvećeg 72 boda. Većina studenata i studentica, 186 (60,98%) imali su broj bodova od 42 do 58, što ih svrstava u prijelazni tip. Ipak, studentice su imale nešto viši ukupni rezultat u odnosu na studente (49,30±9,25 vs. 46,03±9,40, p=0,01) tijekom svih šest godina studija. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da su studenti sa nižim prosjekom ocjena imali manji broj bodova od studenata sa višim prosjekom ocjena (46,46±9,04 vs. 49,77±10,00, p=0,01). Zaključci: Provedenim istraživanjem utvrđeno je da su svi studenti i studentice Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu neovisno o dobi i godini studija prijelazni tip. Studenti su imali nešto niži broj bodova ostvaren upitnikom „Jeste li jutarnji ili večernji tip“u odnosu na studentice što upućuje na to da su studenti više večernji tip. Studenti koji imaju niži akademski uspjeh više su pripadali večernjem tipu od studenata sa višim akademskim uspjehom, koji su više pripadali jutarnjem tipu. |
| Abstract (english) | Objectives: The aim was to investigate the sleep-wake cycle in male and female students of University of Split School of Medicine using the questionnaire, "Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire". Additionaly, we investigated changes of circadian rhythm over the six years of study and it's impact on the academic performance of students. Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving students of all six years of study of University of Split School of Medicine in the academic year 2011/2012th. Students are given an anonymous questionnaire containing questions about age, gender, study/course and grade point average, and 19 questions on which the marking determines whether a person is a morning or evening type. Results: The number of points obtained by "Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire" ranged from the smallest, which was 22 points to the largest, which was 72 points. Most male and female students, 186 (60.98%) had scores 42-58, placing them in a intermediatte type. However, female students had a higher overall score than male students (49.30±9.25 vs. 46.03±9.40, p=0.01) during the six years of study. Results showed that students with lower academic performance average had a lower number of points awarded with "Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire" than those with a higher academic performance (46.46±9.04 vs. 49.77±10.00, p=0.01). Conclusion: The conducted research found that all students of University of Split School of Medicine regardless of age and year of study, were an intermediatte type. Male students had a slightly lower number of points achieved in "Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire" in relation to the female students, indicating that male students are more evening type. Students who had lower academic achievement were more evening type than the students with higher academic success, who tend to be more morning type. |
