Lifestyle and health of students

V današnjem svetu so vse pogostejše kronične nenalezljive bolezni, ki nastanejo predvsem zaradi nezdravega prehranjevanja, nezadostne telesne aktivnosti, kajenja, alkohola, stresa oziroma na kratko, nastanejo zaradi nezdravega življenjskega sloga posameznika. Zdrav življenjski slog se v današnjem času, ko ljudje nimajo več časa za telesno aktivnost in zdravo prehrano zanemarja. Zanemarjanje zdravega življenjskega sloga pa za seboj pušča posledice na vseh področjih, še posebej pa so posledice vidne tako na telesnem, kot na duševnem zdravju. V diplomskem delu so predstavljeni modeli zdravja, življenjski slog mladostnikov, dejavniki tveganja, ki zavirajo zdrav življenjski slog posameznika in preventivna vloga medicinske sestre pri izboljšanju zdravja. Raziskovalna metodologija. Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji. Podatke za raziskavo smo pridobili iz preventivnih zdravstvenih kartonov, ki so vsebovali 13 vprašanj zaprtega in odprtega tipa. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 125 študentov in študentk Univerze v Mariboru. Podatke smo statistično obdelali ter rezultate ponazorili v obliki grafikonov. Rezultati. Raziskava je pokazala, da študentke ne uživajo bolj ali manj zdrave prehrane kot študenti. Vsi posegajo namreč po zelo podobni prehrani, saj se jih večina hrani v identičnih študentskih restavracijah. Dobili smo tudi podatek, da so študentke manj telesno aktivne kot študenti, saj se več kot polovica anketiranih študentk s športom ne ukvarja več kot štiri ure tedensko. Vrste razvad katerih se poslužujejo študenti in študentke se v večini med seboj ne razlikujejo, večina jih posega po cigaretah, manj po alkoholu, najmanj pa jih ima izkušnje z drogami. Razprava in sklep. Odnosi do zdravega načina življenja so predvsem med mladimi zelo slabi, zato bo potrebno na tem področju še marsikaj spremeniti. Pot do zdravega sloga življenja se oblikuje že v otroštvu, zato je potrebno v tem obdobju otroke poučiti, kaj je zdrav življenjski slog in kako vpliva na naše zdravje in počutje.In modern world chronic non infectious diseases are all more common and they arise because unhealthy eating habits, not efficient amount of physical activity, smoking, alcohol and stress. To put it short term, diseases occur because of unhealthy lifestyle of individual person. To neglect the healthy way of living, leave us with consequences on every area and they can be seen on physical level as on mental state as well. In my diploma thesis I presented the theoretical basis of healthy living, healthy lifestyle of young, risk factor which slows down healthy living and the preventive role of nurses in improving health. Research methodology. The research is founded on quantitative methodology. Data were obtained from the preventive medical records that contain 13 questions closed and opened type. All 125 students that participated in the research were from University of Maribor. We statistically processed the data and illustrated the results in form of charts. Results. Research has shown, that female students do not eat more or less healthy food than male students and that they encroach on the similar food because most of them eat in the same student restaurants. We also received information that the female students are less physically active than male students. As more than half on surveyed female students are not involved with the sports more than 4 hours a week. Kinds of habits which takes place in both genders are not mutually differ, most of them encroach to cigarettes, less to alcohol and at least is the experience with drugs. Discussion and conclusion. Attitudes to healthy lifestyle among young people are mostly very poor, that is why changes on this subject are crucial and necessary. The right way to healthy way of living is formed in early childhood, that is why teaching children at this stage of development what is and how healthy lifestyle effect our health and being is crucial
