Abstract

Za ohranjanje zdravja in normalno delovanje našega telesa sta zdrava in uravnotežena prehrana ter zdrav življenjski slog ključnega pomena. Zagotovijo nam vnos vseh hranilnih snovi, ki jih potrebujemo, vse pogosteje pa marsikdo poseže po prehranskih dopolnilih za doseganje priporočenih vrednosti hranilnih snovi. Študenti spadajo med populacijo ljudi, ki so na pomanjkanje določenih hranilnih snovi bolj občutljivi zaradi svojega specifičnega življenjskega sloga (veliko časa, preživetega sede, slabe prehranjevalne navade, uživanje alkohola, kajenje in pomanjkanje spanca). Študenti zato posegajo po prehranskih dopolnilih, čeprav za njihovo uživanje pogosto nimajo dovolj ustreznega znanja. Namen magistrskega dela je bil ugotoviti, kako dobro študenti v Sloveniji poznajo prehranska dopolnila, katera prehranska dopolnila uživajo in kako pogosto ter kakšen odnos imajo do njih. Zanimali so nas razlogi, zakaj študenti v Sloveniji uživajo prehranska dopolnila, kakšne so razlike med študenti družboslovnih in naravoslovnih študijskih področij in kako je epidemija COVID-19 vplivala na uživanje prehranskih dopolnil med študenti. Uporabljen je bil kvantitativni raziskovalni pristop z deskriptivno metodo. Za namen raziskave je bil elektronsko uporabljen strukturiran anketni vprašalnik. Vzorec raziskave je vključeval 234 slovenskih študentov, različnih študijskih področij, stopenj in letnikov. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je prehranska dopolnila do sedaj uživalo 85 % študentov. Najpogosteje so študenti posegali po prehranskih dopolnilih vitamina D, vitamina C, vitamina B, proteinih, probiotikih, magneziju in omega-3 maščobnih kislinah. Ocenjujemo, da študentje v času epidemije COVID-19 niso pogosteje kot pred epidemijo uživali prehranskih dopolnil. Študenti, ki so v času epidemije COVID-19 uživali več prehranskih dopolnil kot pred epidemijo, so najpogosteje posegali po vitaminu D, vitaminu C, cinku, magneziju in omega-3 maščobnih kislinah. Več kot polovica študentov pozna več prehranskih dopolnil, zlasti jih več poznajo ženske in fizično aktivni študenti. Študenti zaupajo v varnost prehranskih dopolnil in menijo, da se je treba pred uporabo prehranskih dopolnil posvetovati z zdravnikom ali farmacevtom. Študenti so pokazali pomanjkljivo znanje pri odločitvah, ki jih sprejemajo o prehranskih dopolnilih. Najpogostejši razlog za uživanje prehranskih dopolnil študentje navajajo okrepitev imunskega sistema oziroma izboljšanje zdravja. Študenti družboslovnih študijskih področij pogosteje uživajo prehranska dopolnila kot študenti naravoslovnih študijskih področij. Fizično aktivni študenti uživajo več prehranskih dopolnil kot fizično manj aktivni študenti, predvsem pa posegajo po železu, kalciju, cinku, selenu, kaliju, jodu, proteinih in prehranskih vlakninah. Glede na rezultate raziskave bi bilo treba študente ozaveščati o pomenu uživanja prehranskih dopolnil in pomenu uravnotežene prehrane ter zdravega življenjskega sloga za zdravje. Pomembno je, da imajo študentje ustrezno prehransko znanje in se zavedajo, kdaj je treba uživati prehranska dopolnila.

Secondary title: Students' knowledge, attitudes and dietary supplement use
Secondary abstract: A healthy and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are essential for maintaining good health and the normal functioning of our bodies. They provide us with all the nutrients we need, however, many people are increasingly turning to dietary supplements to meet the recommended nutrient levels. Students are a population of people who are more vulnerable to deficiencies of certain nutrients due to their specific lifestyle (lots of sedentary time, poor eating habits, alcohol consumption, smoking and lack of sleep). This is why students are turning to dietary supplements even though they often lack the knowledge to take them. The aim of the master's thesis was to find out how well students in Slovenia know about dietary supplements, which dietary supplements they take, how often they take them and what their attitudes towards them are. We were interested in the reasons why students in Slovenia take dietary supplements, the differences between students in social and natural sciences, and how the COVID-19 epidemic has affected the use of dietary supplements among students. A quantitative research approach with a descriptive method was used. For the survey, a structured questionnaire was administered electronically. The survey sample consisted of 234 Slovenian students from different fields, levels and years of study. The results of the survey showed that 85% of students have taken dietary supplements so far. The most common supplements taken by students were vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin B, protein, probiotics, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids. We estimate that students were no more likely to take dietary supplements during the COVID-19 epidemic than before the epidemic. Students who took more dietary supplements during the COVID-19 epidemic than before the epidemic were most likely to take vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids. More than half of students are more familiar with dietary supplements, especially women and physically active students. Students have confidence in the safety of dietary supplements and believe that they should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking dietary supplements. Students showed a lack of knowledge in the decisions they make about dietary supplements. The most common reason students give for taking dietary supplements is to boost their immune system or improve their health. Students in social sciences are more likely to take dietary supplements than students in natural sciences. Physically active students consume more supplements than less physically active students, in particular iron, calcium, zinc, selenium, potassium, iodine, protein and dietary fibre. According to the results of the survey, students should be made aware of the importance of taking dietary supplements and the importance of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle for good health. It is important that students have adequate nutritional knowledge and are aware of when to take dietary supplements. Key words: students, dietary supplements, knowledge, attitude, consumption, COVID-19.
