摘要
1997年红牛推出后,能量饮料开始流行起来。现在有不同的品牌可供选择,年轻人主要消费这些饮料。本研究评估约旦大学生对能量饮料消费的知识、态度和认知。通过有效的在线调查收集所需数据,从谷歌表格中提取到Excel电子表格中,并使用Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 24.0进行统计分析。选取全国代表性的大学生样本,平均年龄为22⋅2±3⋅9岁(n 749)。参与研究的学生对能量饮料的知识表现出中性水平,平均知识得分= 7⋅1±2⋅2(满分12分),其中66% (n 498)的学生喝过能量饮料并体验过其效果。总的来说,研究的参与者对能量饮料表现出中立的态度,70⋅5% (n 528)的人承认能量饮料能增加活动,但超过70%的人认为能量饮料有有害的副作用。发现p值有显著性
Knowledge, attitude, and perception of energy drinks consumption among university students in Jordan.
Energy drinks gained popularity after the launch of Red Bull in 1997. Different brands are now available and young adults mainly consume these drinks. This study assesses the knowledge, attitude, and perception of energy drink consumption among university students in Jordan. A validated online survey was used to collect the required data, extracted from Google Forms into an Excel spreadsheet and statistically analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 24.0. A nationally representative sample of university students with a mean age of 22⋅2 ± 3⋅9 years (n 749) was obtained. The participating students demonstrated a neutral level of knowledge about energy drinks, as the mean score of knowledge = 7⋅1 ± 2⋅2 (out of 12), with 66 % (n 498) of them having consumed energy drinks and experienced their effects. Generally, the study's participants demonstrated a neutral attitude towards energy drinks and 70⋅5 % (n 528) acknowledged that energy drinks increase activity, but more than 70 % of them believed that energy drinks have harmful side effects. It was found that there is a significant (P-value <0⋅5) positive correlation between knowledge score and female gender, studying a medical major, and monthly income. The main reasons for consuming energy drinks were reported to be: to stay awake for longer, help study, and become more energetic. There is a need for more structured awareness campaigns to warn students about the possible side effects of these products in order to reduce the consumption and popularity of these drinks among students.
