Abstract
Background: The use of energy drinks has increased among young people in recent years. While these drinks may initially increase physical and mental performance, they also have many negative effects, such as causing heart rhythm disorders, migraine, anxiety disorders, insomnia, interactions with other drugs, and addiction. This study determined the knowledge of university students about energy drinks and their usage habits. Method: This descriptive study targeted 2400 students studying at the Vocational School of Health Ser-vices. No sampling method was used and 435 students agreed to participate in the study. Results: Of the students, 10.8% used energy drinks, 50.6% knew about energy drinks, 30.3% used the internet, and 29.8% thought that they posed a danger to cardiac health. Of the users, 42.6% loved the taste and 54.5% used them because they provided energy. Conclusions: There were significant differences in the students' consumption of energy drinks by gender and smoking status (p<0.05). It is necessary to increase the awareness of students about the effects of energy drinks using both through written-visual-social media and in schools.
