Students are a group particularly high risk of adverse effects from such restrictions introduced within counter transmission the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Fear felt of contracting the disease and social isolation can lead to consuming excessive amounts of energy with food, resulting in weight gain and eating disorders.
The aim of the study was analysed selected lifestyle aspects of Polish and Turkish students before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine the existence of differences between the lifestyles of these individuals during the two periods.
The study was conducted at the turn of 2020-2021 among 435 students, including 331 Polish and 104 Turkish students. The research instrument was an original questionnaire created in a Google Forms, consisting of metric and a proper part regarding lifestyle before and during the pandemic. Prior to the actual study, in order to verify whether the research tool is understandable, a pilot study was conducted, which included 40 individuals. The Wilcoxon test was used to examine the differences between the lifestyle of students before and during the pandemic. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Both before and during the pandemic, most Polish students ate 4-5 meals daily (52.9% and 47.7%, respectively), while most Turkish students ate 3 meals (47.1% and 38.5%, respectively). There were statistically significant differences in: duration of sleep (p=0.001), way of spending one's leisure time (p=0.001) and type of physical activity (p=0.001) among the Polish and Turkish students before and during the pandemic.
The results of this study showed changes in the lifestyle of both Polish and Turkish students during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. This indicates the need to develop interventions to prevent harmful behaviour and their health consequences in the future.
学生是一组特别容易受到 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间引入的反传播限制措施不利影响的群体。对感染疾病和社会隔离的恐惧可能导致过度摄入食物中的能量，导致体重增加和饮食失调。
本研究旨在分析波兰和土耳其学生在 COVID-19 大流行前后的部分生活方式，并确定这两个时期这些个体生活方式之间是否存在差异。
本研究于 2020-2021 年之交在 435 名学生中进行，其中包括 331 名波兰学生和 104 名土耳其学生。研究工具是一份原始问卷，以谷歌表格的形式创建，由度量部分和疫情前和疫情期间生活方式的适当部分组成。在实际研究之前，为了验证研究工具是否易于理解，进行了一项试点研究，其中包括 40 人。使用 Wilcoxon 检验来检验学生在疫情前和疫情期间生活方式的差异。p<0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。
无论是在疫情前还是疫情期间，大多数波兰学生每天吃 4-5 餐（分别为 52.9%和 47.7%），而大多数土耳其学生每天吃 3 餐（分别为 47.1%和 38.5%）。波兰和土耳其学生在疫情前和疫情期间的睡眠时长（p=0.001）、休闲时间的打发方式（p=0.001）和体育活动类型（p=0.001）方面存在统计学显著差异。
与疫情前相比，本研究结果表明波兰和土耳其学生在疫情期间的生活方式发生了变化。这表明需要制定干预措施，以防止未来有害行为及其对健康的影响。
