University days: lifestyle of nursing students

INTRODUCTION

The health of the students of the State University of Milagro and its lifestyles has encouraged us an interest in knowing the university life that they carry within the classrooms and their homes, since this depends an optimal university performance of eachone of them. To enter the subject, we must know the concept of lifestyle defined by the World Health Organization, which Kickbush expresses as “general way of life based on the interaction between living conditions in a broad sense and individual patterns of behavior determinedby sociocultural factors and personal characteristics ".

Youth is being identified as the greatest risk of its lifestyles, taking into account that the university is an area of change that is influenced by variations in habits, the result of changes in hours of schedules, less free time and the fulfillment they demandAcademic tasks and go to classes, are aspects that trigger few healthy habits in university students.

That is why the decisions that students make about their lifestyles will influence. If decisions are taken irrational, they will be increasing the possibility of getting sick and can even lead to death. But if they raise awareness and make good decisions in a rational way they will be preserving good habits and promoting their health to have a benevolent quality of life, since it is one of the primary factors of the World Health Organization that hopes to have a reduction of premature deaths byNon -communicable diseases for the year 2030.

Lifestyles and health problems are broad, since they cover a set of behaviors adapted by youth, in a study of 1.262 first semester students of a German university registered health risks (food, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol intake), their social groups and the factor of behaviors, where a high prevalence of the four health behaviors was found, only the2% of young people had no risk behavior, 10% had only one risk behavior, 35% had three and 18% risk behaviors, and a low level of intention to change behavior was found. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, a study was carried out with 410 young university students where the prevalence and grouping of unhealthy habits were covered, including stress, physical exercise, food consumption and the consumption of toxic substances, where high reportedstress, high sedentary lifestyle, little intake of fruits and vegetables, but with high alcohol consumption and a high proportion of smokers. And in the United States the prevalence and grouping of health maintenance and high behaviors were evaluated, 65% of women presented two or more unhealthy behaviors where three cluster occurred: the first level had low maintenance of their health, the second present low level of health and low risk behavior;and the third was found high health maintenance and moderate risk behaviors.

In research carried out at a University of Mexico, the percentage of general lifestyle threw 7.94%;while in the country of Lima 66% of women and 34% of men were found that was placed at a soluble lifestyle level. And in Colombia-Cali, 50% of the postgraduate students of health scienceweek (53%), two cups of coffee a day (55.2%) and cigar consumption (51.9%).

In the case of Peru in the population between 14 and 29, it had been generated in years, negative aspects that bring imbalance in the determinants of health and quality of life in the young man, which are physical inactivity, decomposition of the decomposition of thefamily nucleus and social groups, changes in mood, deterioration of the environment among others. On the other hand in Latin America, it is reported that socioeconomic levels influence the individual’s lifestyles.

And finally in Ecuador they greatly influence what are the bad eating habits that university students carry, since their diet is based only on foods rich in fats, carbohydrates and sugars, together with sedentary lifestyle, stress and individual isolation that is created by the demandsof university classes and tasks, unleashed noncommunicable diseases such as: obesity, hypertension, diabetes among others. That is why all these points must be taken as relevance and improve them with talks, campaigns or educational activities with the aim of raising awareness and promoting healthy lifestyles, which according to the World Health Organization are main mortality factors worldwide.

They have been evidenced in information searches carried out that aspects that affect health in students are: stress, sedentary lifestyle, insomnia, unbalanced diet and toxic substances intake. According to the World Health Organization, 63% of the deaths are caused by the ECNS, which cover cardiovascular, brain -brain, obesity, respiratory, diabetes, diabetes, among others directly linked to the styles of the styles with the styles ofLife based on the quality of life, especially alcohol, sedentary lifestyle and nutritionmortality.

And although students who attend the nursing career would be expected to present good health habits for the information they receive every day in their classrooms and the extensive knowledge provided in disease promotion and prevention, they apply them, they seem that they do not internalize in theirdaily living.
