Metode: Istraživanje se provelo uz pomoć anketnog upitnika na odabranom uzorku studenata prijediplomskih studija Sestrinstva, Fizioterapije, Radiološke tehnologije i Primaljstva Fakulteta zdravstvenih studija te studenata Ranog i predškolskog odgoja Učiteljskog fakulteta. Upitnik se sastojao od 3 dijela. Prvi dio bio je test znanja o dodacima prehrani po principu točno/netočno, dok je drugi dio služio za utvrđivanje učestalosti korištenja 31 metode KAM. Treći dio služio je za utvrđivanje stava prema KAM metodama.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 207 (35%) od ukupno mogućih 586 ispitanika. Najveći postotak ispitanika uključivao je na žene (N=170; 82%), dok je muškaraca bilo N=36 (17%). Jedna se osoba nije željela izraziti u pogledu spola (0,5%). Prosječna dob ispitanika bila je 21,14 godina (SD=5,07). Istraživanje je pokazalo relativno nisko znanje o dodacima prehrani kod studenata oba fakulteta (FZS 11%; UČ 18%) odnosno utvrđen je vrlo visoki postotak pada na testu znanja (FZS 89%; UČ 82%). S obzirom na smjer, studenti prijediplomskih studija Ranog i predškolskog odgoja imali su prolaznost 18%, dok je na FZS-u najveća prolaznost bila kod studenata Fizioterapije (14%) i Sestrinstva (14%). Najčešće korištene metode KAM-a kod studenata oba fakulteta bile su prirodni proizvodi - vitamini i minerali te probiotici. Od um-tijelo praksi najčešće korištene metode kod studenata FZS-a su duhovnost i molitva te masaža, dok su kod studenata Učiteljskog fakulteta to bile masaža i aromaterapija. Stav ispitanika prema KAM-u je pozitivan. Prosječna vrijednost stava izražena kao medijan iznosila je 3,4 (raspon min 1,4 – max 4,9). Najniža razina stava utvrđena za smjer Sestrinstvo, a najviša za smjer Primaljstvo i Fizioterapija.
Zaključak: Istraživanje je pokazalo relativno nisko znanje o dodacima prehrani studenata FZS-a i Učiteljskog fakulteta. Najčešće korištene KAM metode među studentima oba fakulteta bile su prirodni proizvodi. Ispitanici su pokazali pozitivan stav prema KAM-u. Studenti Primaljstva i Fizioterapije pokazali su najvišu razinu pozitivnog stava.
Abstract (english) Aim:To determine the knowledge of undergraduate students of the Faculty of Health Studies and the Faculty of Teacher Education of the University of Rijeka on nutritional supplements and to measure their willingness to use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
Methods: The research was conducted by use of a questionnaire on selected cohort of undergraduate students enrolled in Nursing, Physiotherapy, Radiological Technology and Midwifery courses at the Faculty of Health Studies and students of Early and Preschool Education at the Faculty of Teacher education. The questionnaire consisted of 3 parts. The first part was a true/false test of knowledge on nutritional supplements, while the second part was used to determine the frequency of use of 31 CAM methods. The third part served to determine the attitude towards CAM methods.
Results: 207 (35%) out of a total of 586 possible respondents participated in the research. The largest percentage of respondents were women (N=170; 82%), while there were N=36 (17%) men. One person did not want to express the gender (0.5%). The average age of the respondents was 21.14 years (SD=5,07). The research showed relatively low knowledge about nutritional supplements among students of both faculties (FHS 11%; FTE 18%), and specifically showed a very high percentage of failure on the knowledge test (FHS 89%; FTE 82%). According to the course, undergraduate students of Early and Preschool Education had a pass rate of 18%, while at FHS the highest pass rate was among students of Physiotherapy (14%) and Nursing (14%). The most frequently used CAM methods by students of both faculties were natural products - vitamins and minerals and probiotics. Among the mind-body practices, the most frequently used methods among the FHS students were spirituality and prayer and massage, while among the students of the Faculty of Teacher education, these were massage and aromatherapy. The respondents' attitude towards CAM was positive. The average value of the attitude expressed as median was 3,4 (range min 1,4 – max 4,9). The lowest level of attitude was determined for Nursing, and the highest for Midwifery and Physiotherapy.
Conclusion: The research showed a relatively low level of knowledge of Faculty of Health Studies and the Faculty of Teacher Education students on nutritional supplements. The most frequently used CAM methods among students of both faculties were natural products. Respondents showed a positive attitude towards CAM. Midwifery and Physiotherapy students showed the highest level of positive attitude.
