Sociodemographic and academic factors associated with unhealthy lifestyle among Brazilian nursing students

This study aimed to identify sociodemographic and academic factors associated with unhealthy lifestyles among Brazilian undergraduate nursing students. A cross-sectional study was completed by 286 nursing students in Brazil. Multinomial logistic regression was conducted to examine the association between sociodemographic and academic variables with the latent lifestyle indicator. The model fit's validity was assessed using Akaike information coefficient estimation, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and the ROC curve. A high health risk lifestyle was 2.7 times more likely among students aged 18-24 years than students aged 25 years or older (OR = 2.7, 95% CI = [1.18, 6.54] p = 0.02); 2.3 times more likely among students with ≥400 h of semester time (OR = 2.3, 95% CI = [0.93, 5.90], p = 0.07); and 3.8 times more likely among female students (OR = 3.8, 95% CI = [0.82, 8.12], p = 0.09). A moderate health risk lifestyle was 1.8 times more likely among students from the 6th to 10th semesters (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = [-0.95, 3.75], p = 0.07). Sociodemographic and academic factors were associated with unhealthy lifestyles. Health promotion efforts are necessary to improve nursing students' health behaviors.

Lifestyle behaviors among undergraduate nursing students: A latent class analysis

This is a cross-sectional study whose objective was to identify clustering of lifestyle behaviors among undergraduate nursing students to inform health promotion efforts and improve health outcomes later in life. All 353 undergraduate nursing students from the School of Nursing in a public university, Bahia, Brazil were invited to participate. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were according to the major project. Participants must be enrolled and attending the 1st to 10th semester, with a minimum age of 18 years. Participants were excluded if they had any physical disabilities that limited the collection of anthropometric measures or were completing an internship off-campus. A total of 286 undergraduate nursing students met the criteria and completed the survey. The questionnaires included standardized measures for demographic, academic, and lifestyle behaviors (e.g., tobacco use, alcohol use, physical activity level, sedentary behavior, and fruits and vegetables consumed). Latent class analysis was performed to identify any clustering of lifestyle behaviors. Descriptive analyses indicated that 3.1% of the students were smokers, 23.1% consumed alcohol, 34.3% were inactive, 85.0% were sedentary, and 80.8% did not consume recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. Latent class analysis produced four distinct subtypes of health risk: (a) low-health risk (33.57%); (b) moderate-health risk (27.97%); (c) high-health risk (19.58%); and (d) very high-health risk (18.88%). Approximately 38.5% of students were in the very high or high-risk classes. The proportion of students with very high and high-health risks emphasizes the importance of health promotion programs for university nursing students.

Prevalência e fatores associados ao excesso de peso corporal em adolescentes

Resumo Objetivo Analisar a prevalência de excesso de peso corporal em adolescentes e fatores associados. Métodos Estudo transversal conduzido com 635 adolescentes de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 10 e 16 anos, em escolas públicas estaduais. A coleta de dados foi realizada no segundo semestre de 2016 por uma equipe multidisciplinar. Coletou-se dados demográficos, da história familiar, desenvolvimento púbere e hábitos comportamentais. Foi feita a classificação dos adolescentes, conforme o estado nutricional. Utilizou-se a análise bivariada e a regressão múltipla hierarquizada de Poisson, o que possibilitou verificar a associação do excesso de peso corporal com as demais variáveis, bem como a razão de prevalência entre elas. Resultados A prevalência de excesso de peso foi de 32,8% dos adolescentes, associada a história familiar de dislipidemia (p=0,003; RP=1,474; IC95%= 1,139-1,907) e a ingestão de álcool (p=0,044; RP=1,430; IC95%= 1,009-2,028). As demais variáveis neste estudo não foram associadas ao EPC. Conclusão Verificou-se altas prevalências de excesso de peso corporal entres os adolescentes, associadas à história familiar de dislipidemia e ingestão de álcool.

Uživanje alkohola med študenti zdravstvene nege

Uvod: Pitje alkoholnih pijač je med mladostniki v Sloveniji in tudi drugod po svetu zelo velik problem. Največ mladih pije alkoholne pijače predvsem v obdobju adolescence. Namen raziskave je bil predstaviti uživanje alkohola med študenti zdravstvene nege, ki je tudi sicer vse pogostejši problem v sodobnem načinu življenja. Metode: Anketiranje je potekalo v prvi polovici leta 2015 med študenti rednega študija zdravstvene nege 1. stopnje. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 217 študentov. Uporabljeno je bilo priložnostno vzorčenje. Uporabili smo osnovno deskriptivno statistiko in kvantitativno raziskovalno metodologijo s pomočjo strukturiranega vprašalnika. Rezultati: Med anketiranimi se je v izbiri najpogostejših alkoholnih pijač pokazala statistično pomembna razlika (p = 0,000) glede na spol, saj moški posegajo bolj po pivu, ženske bolj po žganih pijačah. Prav tako je razlika po spolu prisotna v opitosti, saj so bili moški v zadnjih 30 dneh pred anketiranjem statistično značilno bolj pogosto opiti kot ženske (p = 0,000). Diskusija in zaključek: Iz rezultatov raziskave je razvidno, da več kot polovica anketiranih študentov zdravstvene nege tvegano pije alkoholne pijače. Raziskava nakazuje, da bolj tvegano pijejo študenti moškega spola. Pridobljeni podatki nakazujejo potrebo po obsežnejši raziskavi o uživanju alkohola med slovenskimi študenti.
