| Sažetak | Cilj istraživanja: Do danas je provedeno puno istraživanja o navikama spavanja studenata, međutim većina tih istraživanja pretpostavila je da su navike spavanja svih studenata jednake, bez obzira koji fakultet pohađaju. Ipak, čini se da se studenti medicine razlikuju od drugih studentskih skupina te je upravo cilj ovog istraživanja bio usporediti navike spavanja, navike povezane uz spavanje i životne navike studenata medicine, FESB-a i ekonomije na Sveučilištu u Splitu.
Ispitanici i postupci: Ovo istraživanje uključilo je ukupno 988 redovnih studenata (507 žena) koji su anonimno ispunili upitnik tijekom 2011./2012. i 2012./2013. akademske godine. Upitnik je sadržavao pitanja iz pet područja: uobičajene navike spavanja, poremećaji spavanja, ponašanje povezano sa spavanjem, korištenje farmakološki aktivnih tvari i osobne podatke.
Rezultati: Statističkom analizom dobivenih podataka utvrđeno je da su se studenti medicine budili ranije tijekom radnih dana od studenata FESB-a i ekonomije (7:08±0:48 vs. 8:09±1:36 i 7:51±1:30, P<0,001) te da su imali kraću latenciju spavanja i manje vremena provedu spavajući. Tijekom vikenda, studenti medicine su se opet budili ranije od studenata FESB-a i ekonomije te išli ranije spavati od studenata FESB-a. Također studenti medicine češće su izjavljivali da se osjećaju kronično umorni u usporedbi sa studentima FESB-a i ekonomije (30,2% vs. 21,3% i 20,6%, P=0,005). Proučavajući životne navike, studenti medicine provodili su više vremena učeći od studenata FESB-a i ekonomije te manje konzumirali kavu (61,6%; P<0,008) i manje pušili (21,4%; P<0,020) od studenata FESB-a (71,8% pilo kavu i 29,2% pušilo) i ekonomije (70,8% pilo kavu i 30,2% pušilo).
Zaključak: Navike spavanja i životne navike studenata medicine značajno se razlikuju od navika spavanja i životnih navika studenata FESB-a i ekonomije. Studenti medicine kraće trajanja spavanja tijekom radnog tjedna pokušavaju nadoknaditi tijekom vikenda što je teško, uzimajući u obzir moderni način života adolescenata u Hrvatskoj s značajnom odgodom odlaska na spavanje tijekom vikenda. Također studenti medicine su češće izjavljivali da se osjećaju umorni što se može odraziti na njihov akademski uspjeh. Upravo te rezultate trebalo bi imati na umu pri planiranju nastavne satnice. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | Objectives: A considerable amount of knowledge is found on sleep habits of student populations, but the conclusions derived from those studies often assumed that all students were homogenous, regardless of various majors and faculties they attended. However, population of medical students appear to be a student population of specific scientific interest concerning sleep related variables. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare sleep habits, sleep related variables, and lifestyle habits of students in the following study programs: Medicine, Engineering, and Economy at the University of Split, Croatia.
Patients and methods: The study included a total of 988 full-time students (507 females) who completed the questionnaire anonymously during the academic years 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 The questionnaire covered five main areas: usual sleep habits, sleep disturbances, sleep related behavior, use of pharmacologically active substances, and personal data.
Results: The results of this study establish that medical students reported their weekday rise time earlier than engineering and economy students (7:08±0:48 vs. 8:09±1:36 and 7:51±1:30, respectively; P<0.001), and shorter sleep latency and sleep duration. During weekends, medical students woke up earlier in comparison to engineering and economy students, and went to bed earlier than engineering students. Also, medical students reported more often to feel chronically tired, in comparison to engineering and economy students (30.2% vs. 21.3% and 20.6%, respectively; P=0.005). Medical students spent significantly more time studying than engineering and economy students (3:03±1:36 hours per day vs. 2:15±1:48 and 2:07±1:21, respectively; P<0.001), and reported significantly less drinking coffee (61.6%; P<0.008) and smoking (214%; P<0.020) than engineering (71.8% drinking coffee and 29.2% smoking) and economy (70.8% drinking coffee and 30.2% smoking) students.
Conclusion: Sleep and lifestyle habits of medical students were significantly different compared to economy and engineering students. Medical students reported shorter sleep latency and shorter sleep duration during weekdays, trying to compensate this on weekends which is a rather difficult task considering a modern lifestyle of youth in Croatia with significantly delayed sleep phases on weekends. They were also feeling chronically tired in a greater proportion than engineering and economy students. This may reflect to medical students academic performance and the school authorities should keep this in mind when creating the teaching schedules. |
