Study Habit Dimensions: Empirics of University Student Gambling and Social Networking Interference

The prevalence rate of gambling and social networking in the university setting interferes with students’ study habit dimensions. Thus, this study seeks to determine the dimensions of study habits exhibited by university students in Ghana, precisely the University of Cape Coast. The study adopted the descriptive survey design with a sample size of 351. The Study Habits Inventory (SHI) was adapted to determine the dimensions of students’ study habits. The inventory recorded a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient (r) of .97. From the findings, it was evident that most students had satisfactory study habits in all five dimensions (Allotment of time, concentration, consultation, procedure in studying and reading and library use). Hence, it was inferred from the findings that the satisfactory study habits of students were because they did not have a very well-planned and organised study time. To this, it was recommended that, since one’s study habits can be interfered with by gambling and social life activities, the Study Habit Unit, in collaboration with the department academic counsellors, hall counsellors and a recommended “Gaming Research Unit” of the university should intermittently run an open forum where students can test their study habit dimensions and be acquainted so as to seek counsel or improvement where necessary

Perceptions of university students on nutrition as a useful tool to manage anxiety and depression levels

Objective: Mental health problems among university students are an emergent public health issue and prevention is crucial. Dietary interventions are currently being investigated as additional treatment options for mental illness. This work aimed (i) to measure and correlate the general status of physical-mental health and diet habits of undergraduate students (n=164, 96 females and 68 males) from different universities, in England and Türkiye; (ii) to develop a specific questionnaire to measure their knowledge on nutrition for mental health (as only general nutrition knowledge questionnaires were available), and (iii) to identify barriers for healthier food choices and sustainable behavioural changes. Materials and methods: The study was based on a cross-sectional survey. Undergraduate students were invited by email and their participation was voluntary and anonymous. Values were expressed as means and standard deviation. A significance level of 0.05 was set. Discussion and conclusion: The results showed that more than 1/3 presented a medium to a high level of somatization symptoms while more than 1/4 presented a moderate to severe level of anxiety and depression. Moreover, results showed a significant negative correlation between nutritional knowledge with physical status, anxiety and depression level and a significant positive correlation with adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Cost, time, convenience and no healthy options on campus canteens/restaurants were the main reported barriers against a healthier diet. Most of the students showed poor nutritional knowledge on how nutrition may impact mental health, but a high interest in learning about nutrition to improve their physical and mental health. Nutrition education and the support of a nutritional team may be alternative tools at the universities to help students manage their anxiety/depression, general health status and academic performance.
