大學生睡眠品質與能量飲料使用之相關性：以七縣市的大學生為例

Association between Sleep Quality and Energy Drink Consumption among a Sample of College Students in Seven Counties in Taiwan

本研究旨在了解大學生睡眠品質與能量飲料使用行為之關聯性。本研究為橫斷性研究的問卷調查，以全臺大專校院年滿20歲之學生為母群體，採立意取樣，於2015年利用自編的結構式問卷進行資料蒐集，共得有效問卷359份。研究結果顯示，受調查的大學生近一個月內約有20.4%曾飲用能量飲料，主要的飲用原因包括工作提神、準備考試、覺得好喝。男性比女性容易出現使用能量飲料之行為 (OR = 2.8, 95% CI: 1.6, 5.0)。此外，睡眠品質愈差者，較容易出現使用能量飲料之行為 (OR = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.4, 4.1)。本研究建議應使大學生了解能量飲料成分對於睡眠品質可能造成的影響，避免過度依賴使用能量飲料提神。

The purpose of this study is to understand the consumption of energy drinks among college students in Taiwan, and to examine its association with sleep quality. We conducted cross-sectional study and recruited 359 college students who are 20 years old or more. Data came from a self-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, ANOVA, correlation coefficient and logistic regression. Among surveyed students, 20.4% used energy drinks in the past mouth, and the major reasons included keeping alert at work, preparing for exam, feeling tasty. Males (OR= 2.8, 95% CI: 1.6, 5.0) and those with poor sleep quality (OR= 2.3, 95% CI: 1.4, 4.1) had a higher odds of using energy drinks. Findings suggest that college students using energy drinks might have poor sleep quality. Health interventions should remind college students the possible association between energy drink use and poor sleep quality.
