- Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the association of daily the level of caffeine intake, cigarette smoking and alcohol intake with the level of anxiety and depression among the students, residents and teaching staff, and to compare those three groups for these variables. Method: Study population consisted of 130 students (male: 67, female: 63), 54 residents (male: 31, female: 23), and 35 members of teaching staff (male: 18, female: 17). Students were divided into two groups as those in basic medical education phase (within first 3 years) and those in clinical medical education (within last 3 years). All subjects were administered a 14-item questionnaire concerning caffeine, cigarette and alcohol use, and Beck Depression and Beck Anxiety scales. Results: Total caffeine intake values by male subjects (n=116) and female subjects (n=103) were 288.8 mg/day and 214.7 mg/day respectively (p=0.002). Daily caffeine consumption in different groups were as follows: teaching staff 346±183 mg/day, residents 258±204 mg/day, clinical medical education students 248 mg/day and basic medical education students 202±141 mg/day. Caffeine intake was positively correlated with alcohol intake and number of cigarettes consumed (r= 0.232, p=0.001 and r=0.351, p=0.0001, respectively). There was no association between caffeine and cigarette consumption and anxiety and depression scores. Discussion and Conclusion: Caffeine intake was higher in males than females and in teaching staff than students. Cigarette smoking and alcohol intake increases with caffeine intake. Amount of caffeine consumed was not associated with depression and anxiety levels.
