Aktivitas fisik dan excessive daytime sleepiness dengan frekuensi makan selama pandemi Covid-19

Abstract

Background: The Study from Home implementation due to the Covid-19 pandemic has triggered lifestyle changes, especially in physical activities and consumption frequency. The increased use of gadgets triggers changes in sleep quality, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness. Changes in unhealthy and inadequate food consumption can impact insufficient nutritional needs.Purpose: Knowing the relationship between physical activity and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) with consumption frequency in nutrition students of Universitas Airlangga during the Covid-19 pandemic.Method: The research was an analytical observational study with cross-sectional design. The research sample was 145 nutrition students who met the inclusion criteria and were obtained through simple random sampling. Data collection instruments used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Food Frequency Questionnaire. Data analysis used the Spearman correlation test.Results: The majority of respondents are 20 years old (46.9%), female (93.1%), light physical activity (57.9%), normal sleepiness level (60.0%), often consume staple-foods (73.8%), side-dishes (83.4%), vegetables (64.1%), and rarely consume fruit (57.9%), energy-dense foods (67.6%). There is no relationship between physical activity (p>0.05) and EDS (p>0.05) with consumption frequency.Conclusion: There is no relationship between physical activity and EDS with consumption frequency in nutrition students during the Covid-19 pandemic.Suggestion: It is necessary to increase physical activity, improve sleep quality, and consumption frequency according to balanced nutrition guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic.Keywords: College Student; Covid-19 Pandemic; Excessive Daytime Sleepiness; Meal Frequency; Physical ActivityPendahuluan: Penerapan Study from Home akibat pandemi Covid-19 memicu perubahan gaya hidup, terutama aktivitas fisik dan frekuensi konsumsi. Peningkatan penggunaan gadget memicu perubahan kualitas tidur yang mengarahkan pada kantuk berlebihan di siang hari. Perubahan konsumsi makan tidak sehat dan tidak adekuat akan berdampak pada ketidakcukupan kebutuhan gizi. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) dengan frekuensi makan mahasiswa gizi Universitas Airlangga selama pandemi Covid-19.Metode: Jenis penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Sampel penelitian sebesar 145 mahasiswa yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan diperoleh secara simple random sampling. Instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, dan Food Frequency Questionnaire. Analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman.Hasil: Mayoritas responden berusia 20 tahun (46,9%), perempuan (93,1%), aktivitas fisik ringan (57,9%), tingkat kekantukan normal (60,0%), sering mengonsumsi makanan pokok (73,8%), lauk-pauk (83,4%), sayuran (64,1%), serta jarang mengonsumsi buah (57,9%), makanan padat energi (67,6%). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik (p>0,05) dan EDS (p>0,05) dengan frekuensi konsumsi.Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan EDS dengan frekuensi konsumsi mahasiswa gizi selama pandemi Covid-19.Saran: Diperlukan peningkatan aktivitas fisik, perbaikan kualitas tidur, dan frekuensi konsumsi sesuai pedoman gizi seimbang selama pandemi Covid-19.
