Studiranje podrazumijeva razne izazove koji mogu narušiti homeostazu, a neki su od tih izazova opterećenost učenjem, želja za akademskim postignućem i studiranje uz rad. S obzirom na navedeno, kod studentske je populacije općenito važno promicati osobne zdrave navike, a kod studenata sestrinstva i medicine uz to i navike promoviranja zdravog načina života. Cilj je ovog preglednog rada utvrditi kojim se mjerama procjenjuje i kojim se metodama istražuje životni stil studenata sestrinstva i medicine. Pregled opsega proveden je i dovršen 28. prosinca 2020. godine pretraživanjem baze podataka Medline/WoS. Uključeni su članci koji opisuju primarna opažajna istraživanja o zdravom životnom stilu studenata sestrinstva i medicine. Od 68 identificiranih članaka, 12 ih je prihvaćeno (17,7 %) za konačnu analizu. Izrađene su kvantitativna i kvalitativna analiza podataka. Za procjenu životnog stila koriste se upitnici i antropometrijski instrumenti, a fokus je na kriterijima zdravog načina života, kao što su učestalost tjelesne aktivnosti, indeks tjelesne mase, kvaliteta spavanja, balansiranost prehrane, mentalno zdravlje i drugi. Mjere tjelesnog zdravlja u većoj su mjeri zastupljene od mjera mentalnog zdravlja. Sva su istraživanja bila presječnog tipa. Istraživanja pokazuju da studenti sestrinstva i medicine nemaju optimalan životni stil. Potrebna su daljnja istraživanja povezanosti mentalnog zdravlja i životnog stila s ciljem osmišljavanja strategija za unapređenje zdravog načina života u ovoj populaciji, kao i ispitivanja učinkovitosti takvih strategija., Studying involves a host of challenges that can disrupt homeostasis. Some of these include the burden of learning, the desire for academic achievement, and studying while working. Therefore, it is important to promote personal healthy habits in the student population, and for nursing and medical students, additional habits to promote healthy lifestyles. This scoping review aims to determine which measures are used to assess the lifestyle of nursing and medical students and which methods are used to research them. The scoping review was conducted and completed on December 28, 2020, by searching the Medline / WoS database. Articles describing primary non-experimental research on the healthy lifestyles of nursing and medical students were included. Of the 68 articles identified, 12 (17.7%) were accepted for final analysis. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses were conducted. Questionnaires and anthropometric tools are used for the assessment, and the focus is on healthy lifestyle criteria such as frequency of physical activity, body mass index, sleep quality, balanced diet, mental health, and others. Physical health is represented more frequently than mental health. All studies were cross-sectional studies. Research shows that nursing and medical students do not have an optimal lifestyle. The relationship between mental health and lifestyle needs further research to develop strategies to promote healthy lifestyles in this population and also to study the effectiveness of these strategies.
