Abstract
Ievads. Gatavojoties eksāmeniem un kolokvijiem, studenti piedzīvo lielu garīgu slodzi. Saistībā ar to aktualizējas problēma – kādā veidā ir iespējams paaugstināt spēju koncentrēt uzmanību un uzlabot atmiņu.
Mērķis. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir uzzināt, kādus medikamentus lieto Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes (RSU) studenti, lai uzlabotu atmiņu un spēju koncentrēt uzmanību, kā arī noskaidrot, kā studenti vērtē šo medikamentu ietekmi uz viņu atmiņu un spēju koncentrēt uzmanību.
Materiāli un metodes. Pētījuma respondenti ir RSU studenti, kas dzīvo Dienesta viesnīcā. Dienesta visnīcas istabas tika izvēlētas, izmantojot Microsoft Excel 2013 nejaušo skaitļu ģeneratoru. Izvēlēto istabu iedzīvotāji tika intervēti, izmantojot anketu, kurā tika iekļauti jautājumi par to, kādus medikamentus viņi lietoja, lai uzlabotu atmiņu un spēju koncentrēt uzmanību, par medikamentu uzņemšanas periodu, kā arī par to, kā šie medikamenti ietekmēja viņu atmiņu un spēju koncentrēt uzmanību to lietošanas laikā un divas nedēļas pēc to lietošanas beigšanas. Iegūtie dati tika analizēti, izmantojot programmu IBM SPSS Statistics 22.
Rezultāti. Pētījuma gaitā tika intervēti 127 RSU studenti.
No visiem respondentiem, 17 studenti (13.4%) atzīmēja, ka lietoja vismaz vienu medikamentu, lai uzlabotu atmiņu un spēju koncentrēt uzmanību. No tiem, kas lietoja medikamentus, visbiežāk atzīmēja divus nootropos līdzekļus – Piracetāmu (7 studenti – 41.2%) un Fenibutu (6 studenti – 35.3%).
No tiem, kas lietoja Piracetāmu, 4 studenti (57.1%) atzīmēja, ka lietoja to, gatavojoties gan kolokvijiem, gan eksāmeniem. Piracetāma lietošanas laikā 2 studenti (28.6%) atzīmēja, ka viņu atmiņa uzlabojās, bet 3 studenti (42.9%) – ka uzlabojās viņu spēja koncentrēt uzmanību. 6 studenti (85.7%) atzīmēja, ka pēc divām nedēļām kopš Piracetāma lietošanas beigām viņu atmiņa un spēja koncentrēt uzmanību atgriezās pie tāda paša līmeņa, kāds bija pirms tā lietošanas sākuma.
Tie, kas atzīmēja Fenibutu, lietoja to tikai sesijas laikā. Tikai 1 students (16.7%) atzīmēja, ka atmiņa uzlabojās, bet 4 studenti (66.7%) – ka spēja koncentrēt uzmanību uzlabojās tā lietošanas laikā. Pēc divām nedēļām kopš Fenibuta lietošanas beigām 5 studenti (83.3%) atzīmēja, ka gan atmiņa, gan spēja koncentrēt uzmanību atgriezās pie tāda paša līmeņa, kas bija pirms tā lietošanas sākuma.
Secinājumi. Neliels studentu skaits lieto medikamentus, lai uzlabotu atmiņu un koncentrācijas spējas. Visbiežāk lietotie medikamenti ir 2 nootropi – Piracetāms un Fenibuts. To lietošanas laikā ir vērojama neliela atmiņas uzlabošanās, savukārt spēja koncentrēt uzmanību ievērojami uzlabojas. Pēc šo medikamentu lietošanas gan atmiņa, gan spēja koncentrēt uzmanību atgriezās pie izejas stāvokļa gandrīz visiem studentiem.
Introduction. Students experience a great mental stress during the preparation for exams and colloquiums. In this relation, the problem becomes urgent - how it is possible to increase the ability to concentrate attention and to improve memory. Aim. The aims of this study is to find out, which medicines students of Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) take to improve their memory and ability to concentrate attention and to figure out, how students assess the impact of these drugs on their memory and ability to concentrate their attention. Materials and methods. Respondents of the study are students of RSU who live in the Students Dormitory. Using Microsoft Excel 2013 random number generator, the rooms of the Dormitory were randomly selected. Residents of selected rooms were interviewed using a questionnaire that included questions about what medications they took to improve their memory and ability to concentrate attention, about the period of their admission and how those medications affected memory and concentration of attention during their admission and during the first two weeks after the end of admission. The obtained data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 22. Results. In the course of the study, 127 students of RSU were interviewed. 17 students of all respondents (13.4%) noted that they had taken at least one medication to improve memory and concentration of attention. Of those having taken medications, two nootropics were noted more often - Piracetam (7 students - 41.2%) and Phenibut (6 students - 35.3%). Of those having taken Piracetam, 4 (57.1%) noted that they had taken it preparing both for colloquiums and for exams. During the use of Piracetam 2 students (28.6%) noticed that their memory improved and 3 (42.9%) - that their ability to concentrate attention improved. 6 (85.7%) noted that both memory and ability to concentrate attention in the first 2 weeks after the end of Piracetam intake returned to the same level as before its admission. Those who noted Phenibut had taken it only during the session. During its use, 1 student (16.7%) noticed that the memory improved, but 4 (66.7%) - that their ability to concentrate attention improved. In the first 2 weeks after the end of Phenibut admission, 5 (83.3%) noted that both memory and concentration of attention returned to the same level as before its admission. Conclusion. A small number of students take medicines to improve their memory and concentration. The most frequently used drugs among the students are 2 nootropics – Piracetam and Phenibut. During their admission, the memory improves slightly, but the ability to concentrate attention significantly improves. After the intake of these medications, both memory and ability to concentrate attention returned to the baseline in almost all the students.
