Daily habits of students and health concerns

Svakodnevne navike čovjek usvaja od najranijeg djetinjstva te ih ponavlja iz dana u dan tijekom svoga života, ne razmišljajući puno o njima. Važan je njihov pravilan odabir, jer koliko su one kvalitetne i dobre, tolika je njegova briga o vlastitom zdravlju. Dobrim i kvalitetnim navikama smanjuje rizik od različitih oboljenja te čuva svoje zdravlje. Zdrave navike nije lako steći, ali uz pomoć obitelji i škole dijete od najranijeg djetinjstva može usvajati i nadograđivati takve navike. Unutar obitelji dijete usvaja svoje prve navike, stoga roditelji i odrasli moraju biti trajan uzor za kojim će se dijete voditi. Zdrave i kvalitetne navike koje su usvojene unutar obitelji, škola pak treba dalje nadograđivati i promicati, a ukoliko su nekvalitetne i loše s vremenom poboljšavati. U okviru ovog rada, u ožujku 2017. godine, proveden je upitnik koji su ispunili učenici trećih i četvrtih razreda Osnovne škole Zdenka Turkovića u Kutjevu. Upitnik se sastoji od 12 pitanja vezanih uz prehrambene i higijenske navike te navike provođenja slobodnog vremena. Cilj istraživanja bio je ustanoviti koje dobre ili loše navike učenici primjenjuju još od mlađe školske dobi te kolika je njihova briga o vlastitom zdravlju s obzirom na kvalitetan odabir tih navika. Rezultati su pokazali kako se velik broj učenika tušira samo jedanput tjedno, nemaju pravilno raspoređene obroke tijekom dana, a s druge strane, velik broj učenika provede i više od 3 sata dnevno pred različitim medijima, zbog čega odlaze kasno na spavanje i manje su tjelesno aktivni.A man adopts his everyday habits since early childhood and then repeats them day after day during his life span, without even thinking about them. It is important to choose those habits wisely because if the habits are good, then the man’s healthcare will also be good. With good habits, man decreases a risk from different diseases and also takes care of his health. Healthy habits aren’t easy to accomplish, but the children, with the help of parents and school, from their early childhood can adopt and upgrade those habits. The child adopts its firs habits within the family and that is the reason why parents and grownups have to be a great model for children. Healthy and good habits, which are adopted within the family, school needs to upgrade and also promote. If the habits are bad, then the school needs to improve the bad habits. Within this paper, in March 2017, a questionnaire was conducted between the pupils from the 3rd and the 4th grade in Elementary School Zdenko Turković in Kutjevo. The questionnaire consists of 12 questions related to nutritional and hygienic habits and leisure time habits. Aim of the research was to establish good and bad habits that pupils apply from the early childhood, and also, what is the amount of care for their own health considering the good choice of habits. Results have shown that the great amount of pupils is having a shower only once a week and that the pupils do not have properly distributed meals during the day. On the other hand, great amount of pupils spend more than 3 hours on a daily basis in front of different kinds of media and that is the main reason for pupils to go to sleep late and to be less physically active
