Abstract:

 


Objective: This
research was conducted in order to determine the nutrition knowledge and habits
of the students who are studying at Isparta Vocational School of Health
Services, Suleyman Demirel University. 


Methods: 116 students
studying at the university have participated in the research voluntarily. A
questionnaire consisting of 36 questions was administered to determine
participants' knowledge and habits about nutrition. In the analysis of the
obtained data, frequency analyses were performed using statistical package
program (SPSS 15.0). 


Results:
At the end of the study, it was determined that most of the
participants had sufficient knowledge about nutrition, food items, the
importance of nutrition and how a good nutrition should be. However, it has
been found that the ratio of those who have inadequate knowledge about calorie
intake and those who are fed with inadequate meals are at a level not to be
underestimated.









Conclusions: In the
light of these findings, we can say that vocational high school students should
make more efforts to reflect the nutritional knowledge in daily life.
