Studies have indicated a substantial increase in alcohol consumption among university students. Specifically, abusive consumption among health students can adversely affect their academic training and future professional practice.
This study aimed to analyze alcohol consumption habits among healthcare students and investigate the associations between alcohol consumption patterns and sociodemographic and academic variables.
We performed this cross-sectional study at a private university located in the city of Salvador, Bahia.
We conducted this study with 770 students using a printed, self-administered, anonymous questionnaire containing sociodemographic and academic performance data, as well as the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and Rutgers Alcohol Problems Inventory (RAPI).
We observed that the prevalence of alcohol consumption (65.1%) and binge drinking (57.5%) among Brazilian healthcare students was high, with more frequent consumption among men (73.1%), in medicine (83.0%) and veterinary medicine (79.1%) programs and in semesters beyond the fourth (71.7%). We found associations between drinking habits and sex (P = 0.016), religion (P < 0.000), course (P < 0.000) and semester (P = 0.047). Binge drinking was associated with attending academic activities without getting any sleep (P < 0.000), missing classes due to hangovers (P < 0.000), encountering issues with the institution's administration (P = 0.028), and failing to complete activities due to alcohol consumption (P < 0.000).
The prevalence of alcohol consumption and binge drinking among Brazilian healthcare students was high and associated with sex, religion, course, academic semester, risky behaviors, and negative academic impacts.
研究表明，大学生的酒精消费大幅增加。具体来说，医学生的滥用消费会对他们的学术培训和未来的专业实践产生不利影响。
本研究旨在分析医学生的饮酒习惯，并调查饮酒模式与社会人口统计学和学业变量之间的关系。
我们在巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多市的一所私立大学进行了这项横断面研究。
我们使用包含社会人口统计学和学业成绩数据以及酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）和罗格斯酒精问题清单（RAPI）的印刷、自我管理、匿名问卷对 770 名学生进行了这项研究。
我们发现，巴西医学生的饮酒（65.1%）和狂饮（57.5%）患病率很高，男性（73.1%）、医学（83.0%）和兽医（79.1%）专业以及第四学期以后（71.7%）的学生饮酒更为频繁。我们发现饮酒习惯与性别（P = 0.016）、宗教（P < 0.000）、课程（P < 0.000）和学期（P = 0.047）之间存在关联。狂饮与参加学术活动而不睡觉（P < 0.000）、因宿醉而缺课（P < 0.000）、与机构管理部门发生问题（P = 0.028）以及因饮酒而无法完成活动（P < 0.000）有关。
巴西医学生的酒精消费和狂饮率较高，与性别、宗教、课程、学业学期、风险行为以及学业负面影响有关。
