| Abstract | Ciljevi istraživanja: Ciljevi ovog istraživanja bili su utvrditi učestalost korištenja stimulansa, vrstu stimulansa, okolnosti i način uzimanja, sociodemografska i socioekonomska obilježja ispitanika te njihov akademski uspjeh. Nadalje, cilj je bio utvrditi moguću povezanost korištenja stimulansa s akademskim uspjehom u studentskoj populaciji te sociodemografskim i socioekonomskim obilježjima ispitanika. Nacrt istraživanja: Presječno istraživanje. Ispitanici i metode: Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 373 studenata završnih godina preddiplomskih studijskih programa Sveučilišta u Osijeku. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom ožujka i travnja 2019., a bili su obuhvaćeni svi fakulteti u Osijeku. Istraživanje je provedeno anonimnim anketnim upitnikom koji se sastoji od pitanja o korištenju raznih psihostimulansa, navikama učenja i akademskom uspjehu te od sociodemografskih i socioekonomskih pitanja. Rezultati: Među 373 ispitanika, 40,8 % pije kavu više puta dnevno, a 12,1 % svaki dan samo ujutro. Najčešći je razlog ispijanja kave njen okus. 58 % ispitanika rijetko pije čaj, a 26,5 % ispitanika pije čaj par puta tjedno. Marihuanu nikada nije probalo 37,8 % ispitanika, a najčešći je razlog korištenja marihuane iz zabave. 80,7 % ispitanika nije nikada probalo tablete za povećanu koncentraciju i bolje pamćenje. Energetska pića ponekad pije 48,5 % ispitanika, a nikada 45,3 % ispitanika. Najviše je studenata koji nikada ne piju kavu, čaj ili energetska pića nezaposleno. Zaključak: Nije pronađena povezanost između socioekonomskih i sociodemografskih obilježja ispitanika s korištenjem stimulansa i akademskim uspjehom studenata. Nema značajne razlike u prosjeku ocjena studenata koji koriste stimulanse i studenata koji ih ne koriste. |
