Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on feeding and hygiene habits of nursing students. The research is a cross-sectional type and was conducted with the students of Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Health Sciences online between 2019-2020. The universe of the study consists of 155 students, and it was attempted to reach the entire population without sampling, and 126 students (81%) agreed to participate in the study.Mean age of the students was 21.52 ± 1.47 years. It was determined that 68.3% of the students had gained weight during the pandemic process. In the covid-19 pandemic the students increased daily consumption of vitamin C, legume, prebiotics, probiotics and spices and vegetables such as turmeric, ginger; while they reduced consumption of acid/fizzy drinks, junk food and fast food (p<0.05). It was found that the students increased home hygiene applications (such as cleaning frequently used daily wares and surfaces with bleacher, airing the house every two hours and personal hygiene applications (such as keeping a social distance of one meter, avoiding hand-shake in the covid-19 pandemic (p<0.05). It was found that quarantine which is usually considered to be a negative process, was effective on earning positive feeding behaviors on one hand and caused weight gain on the other. It was determined that most nursing students had had higher personal hygiene applications even before the pandemic and they largely adapted to pandemic-related personal hygiene applications.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Covid-19 pandemisinin hemşirelik öğrencilerinin beslenme ve hijyen alışkanlıklarına etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırma kesitsel tipte olup 2019-2020 tarihleri arasında Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi öğrencileriyle internet yoluyla yürütüldü. Araştırmanın evrenini 155 öğrenci oluşturmakta olup örnekleme yapılmamış evrenin tümüne ulaşılmaya çalışılmış, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 126 öğrenci örneklemi oluşturmuştur (%81). Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21,52 ± 1,47 yıldır. Öğrencilerin % 68,3’ünün pandemi süresince kilo aldığı belirlendi. Covid-19 pandemisinde öğrencilerin günlük C vitamini, kurubaklagil, prebiyotik, probiyotik, zerdaçal, zence-fil gibi baharat ve bitki tüketimi artarken, asitli/gazlı içecek, abur cubur gıda tüketimi ve ayaküstü beslenme alışkanlığının azaldığı saptandı (p<0,05). Covid-19 pandemisinde öğrencilerin (günlük sık kullanılan eşyaları, yüzeyleri çamaşır suyuyla temizleme; evi iki saatte bir havalandırma gibi) ev hijyen uygulamaları ile (bir metre sosyal mesafe koyma, tokalaşmama gibi) kişisel hijyen uygulamalarının arttığı tespit edildi(p<0,05). Karantina gibi olumsuz görülen bir sürecin olumlu beslenme davranışı kazanmada etkili olduğu, diğer taraftan kilo artışına sebep olduğu bulundu. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin çoğunluğunun kişisel hijyen uygulamaları pandemi öncesinde de yüksek olduğu pandemiye özgü kişisel hijyen uygulamalarına yüksek oranda uyum sağlandığı tespit edildi.
