Caffeinated Energy Drink Consumption among First Year Medical Students
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The consumption of caffeinated energy drinks is one of the coping strategies used by college students in the management of stressful academic situation. Energy drinks are freely available at all places without regulation or proper education for its side effects. The purpose of the study is to determine the association between caffeinated energy drink consumption and student’s study habits in relation to self-perceived academic load. The study was done among first year MBBS students using an expert validated questionnaire which covered sociodemographic characteristics, study habits, frequency, pattern and knowledge of caffeinated energy drink consumption. Descriptive statistics were used for presenting the findings. On analysis of the data, caffeinated energy drink consumption was found to be increased for academic purpose among medical students without sufficient knowledge regarding its effects. Whenever academic level perception is more, levels of anxiety increased which leads to increased caffeinated energy drink consumption. Results from this study provide important and novel information regarding energy drink consumption habits among medical students and a need to introduce possible interventions to provide safe consumption.
