摘要
背景:肠易激综合征(IBS)在医学和护理专业学生中的患病率上升是一个全球性的挑战。不幸的是,关于意大利医学和护士学生的数据很少。因此,本研究旨在评估该地区肠易激综合征的患病率,并评估人口统计学、大学、地中海饮食依从性和与肠易激综合征增加相关的焦虑因素。目的:评估医学和护理专业大学生肠易激综合征患病率、焦虑水平和地中海饮食依从性。方法:向参与者发送匿名在线问卷。分析了一些人口统计学和教育变量,以及与肠易激综合征定义相关的症状的存在(根据Rome IV标准)。此外,还评估了焦虑水平和对地中海饮食的坚持程度。结果:161名学生中,21.11%符合IBS的Rome IV标准。在一些亚组中,校外学生或没有奖学金获得者,发现IBS的百分比更高(p < 0.05)。病程外被证明与IBS发病风险增加和未报告的风险相关(OR: 8.403, p < 0.001)。肠易激综合征组的焦虑水平和地中海饮食依从性明显较差(p < 0.01)。在我们的研究中,坚持地中海饮食与IBS发病风险降低相关(OR 0.258, p = 0.002)。结论:我们的意大利医学和护理专业学生的样本记录了一个不可忽略的IBS百分比。因此,可以建议进行筛查和提高认识运动。
The Burden of Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Medical and Nurse Italian University Student Population: The VANVITELLI-IBS Survey.
Background: The increased prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) among medical and nursing students is a global challenge. Unfortunately, data on the Italian medical and nurse student population are scarce. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the prevalence of IBS in this setting and to evaluate the demographic, university, Mediterranean diet adherence, and anxiety factors associated with its increased presence.
Objective: To assess the prevalence of IBS, anxiety levels, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in medical and nursing university students.
Methods: An anonymous online questionnaire was sent to participants. Several demographic and educational variables were assayed, and the presence of symptoms associated with the definition of IBS (according to Rome IV criteria). In addition, anxiety levels and adherence to the Mediterranean diet were also assessed.
Results: Of 161 students, 21.11% met the Rome IV criteria for IBS. Some subgroups, the out-ofcourse students or no scholarship recipients, were found to have a higher percentage of IBS (p < 0.05). Being out-of-course was shown to be associated with an increased and unreported risk of presenting IBS (OR: 8.403, p < 0.001). Levels of anxiety and adherence to the Mediterranean diet were significantly worse in the IBS group (p < 0.01). Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a reduced risk of presenting IBS in our setting (OR 0.258, p = 0.002).
Conclusion: Our sample of Italian medical and nursing students recorded a non-negligible percentage of IBS. Therefore, screening and awareness campaigns could be suggested.
