Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore caffeine intake habits and the perception of its effects on health among college students. After completing a literature review on the topic of caffeine and its effects, a problem was identified relating to increased caffeine consumption and a gap in knowledge about the effects of caffeine among college students. This was a quantitative, cross-sectional study with a descriptive design. The participants were 120 college students in a campus population of about 2000 in Northern Indiana. The survey contained five demographic and 19 Likert-type statements on a 4-point scale of (1) "strongly disagree," (2) "disagree," (3) "agree," and (4) "strongly agree." Data collection occurred on the college campus at the sandwich shop, during the lunch hour. In the perception category, "Regularly consuming caffeine can have long-term negative effects on health" (mean [SD], 3.10 [0.68]) received the highest agreement. In the habit category, "I drink caffeinated beverages because I like the taste" (mean [SD], 3.11 [0.85]) received the highest agreement. In conclusion, college students are aware of the negative effects of caffeine, yet 75% consumed one or more and some exceeding five servings daily.

大学生咖啡因摄入习惯及其对健康影响的认知

本研究的目的是探讨咖啡因的摄入习惯及其对大学生健康的影响。在完成了关于咖啡因及其影响的文献综述后，发现了一个与咖啡因摄入量增加有关的问题，以及大学生对咖啡因影响的认识存在差距。这是一项定量、横断面研究，采用描述性设计。参与者是印第安纳州北部约2000名校园人口中的120名大学生。该调查包含5个人口学和19个李克特类型的陈述，分为4个等级(1)。“强烈不同意，”(2)“不同意”,(3)“同意”和(4)“强烈同意。”数据收集是在大学校园的三明治店进行的，时间是午餐时间。在认知类别中，“经常摄入咖啡因会对健康产生长期负面影响”(mean [SD]， 3.10[0.68])获得了最高的认同。在习惯类别中，“我喝含咖啡因的饮料是因为我喜欢它的味道”(mean [SD]， 3.11[0.85])获得了最高的认同。综上所述，大学生意识到咖啡因的负面影响，但75%的人每天摄入一份或更多，有些人甚至超过五份。
