Abstract

Uvod: V času pandemije koronavirusne bolezni 2019 se je povečano poseganje po prehranskih dopolnilih pojavilo kot alternativna strategija po krepitvi imunskega sistema. Zaradi množičnega pojava nepreverjenih virov se je pojavilo zmotno prepričanje o učinkovitosti prehranskih dopolnil na resnost obolenja. Namen magistrskega dela je ugotoviti povezavo med uporabo prehranskih dopolnil in potekom bolezni COVID-19. Metode: Uporabili smo kvantitativno metodologijo raziskovanja in kot raziskovalni inštrument anketni vprašalnik. Anketirali smo prebolevnike COVID-19, od teh 67 uporabnikov in 33 neuporabnikov prehranskih dopolnil. Pridobljene podatke smo obdelali s programoma Microsoft Excel in IBM SPSS 28. Hipoteze smo preverili s hi-kvadrat in Mann-Whitney testom. Rezultati: Ugotovili smo povezavo med pogostejšo uporabo prehranskih dopolnil pri bolezni COVID-19 ter spolom in starostjo. Vendar pa povezava med spolom in uporabo prehranskih dopolnil pred (p = 0,308) in med boleznijo COVID-19 (p = 0,112) ni statistično značilna. Prav tako tudi ne povezava med starostjo in uporabo prehranskih dopolnil pred (p = 0,274) in med boleznijo (p = 0,324). Ugotovili smo tudi povezavo med blažjim potekom COVID-19 in uporabo prehranskih dopolnil. Povezava je bila statistično značilna s strani uporabe pred boleznijo (p = 0,045), vendar ne med boleznijo (p = 0,487). Razprava in sklep: Ugotovljena je bila povezava med starostjo in spolom ter pogostejšo uporabo prehranskih dopolnil, vendar ni statistično značilna. Precej večja raba le-teh je bila prisotna med žensko in starejšo populacijo. Povezava med uporabo prehranskih dopolnil in blažjim potekom bolezni COVID-19 je bila deloma ugotovljena. Z blago obliko bolezni so bili povezani vitamin C in D, omega-3, cink in probiotiki.

Secondary title: The use and impact of dietary supplements on the course of the covid-19 disease
Secondary abstract: Indroduction: During the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic, increased intervention in food supplements emerged as an alternative strategy to strengthen the immune system. The emergence of unverified sources led to mistaken beliefs about the effectiveness of food supplements on the severity of the disease. The purpose of this master's thesis is to establish a connection between the use of food supplements and the course of COVID-19 disease. Methods: We used quantitative survey methodology and a survey questionnaire as a research instrument. Covid-19 patients were surveyed, of which 67 were users and 33 non-users of food supplements. The obtained data has been processed using Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS 28. We verified the hypotheses using the Chi-Square and the Mann–Whitney U tests. Results: We found a connection between an increased use of food supplements due to COVID-19 illness and gender and age. However, the connection between gender and the use of food supplements before (p = 0.308) and during the disease (p = 0.112) was not statistically significant. Neither is the relationship between age and the use of food supplements before (p = 0.274) and during the disease (p = 0,324). We found a link between a milder form of COVID-19 and the use of food supplements. The connection was statistically significant when used before the disease (p = 0.045), but not during (p = 0,487). Discussion and conclusion: A link between age and gender and the increased use of dietary supplements has been identified, but was not statistically significant. A higher use was present between the female and older population. A relationship between the use of dietary supplements and the milder course of COVID-19 disease has been partly established. Vitamins C, D, omega-3, zinc and probiotics have been associated with a mild form of the disease.
