Risk Factors for Gastritis Among Nursing Students: A Cross Sectional Study
Subject
gastritis, dietary patterns, sleep quality, stress
Description
Gastritis is characterized by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dull epigastric pain, upper abdominal
discomfort, early satiety, and loss of appetite. Some patients also report dizziness and neck discomfort. Without
proper treatment, gastritis may progress to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), causing severe symptoms
such as chest pain, heartburn, and sleep disturbances, which can significantly reduce productivity. Gastritis
commonly affects individuals in their productive years, including students, due to irregular eating patterns, poor
sleep quality, and high stress levels. This study aims to identify the dominant risk factors contributing to gastritis
among nursing students. The research of an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was
employed. A total of 107 students were purposive sampling technique based on inclusion criteria: being active
nursing students with a history of gastritis. Data were collected using dietary patterns questionnaires, Pittsburgh
Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS), and gastritis symptoms
questionnaires. Data were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression with a significance level of p<0.05.
Results indicated that 52.3% had poor dietary patterns, 90.7% had poor sleep quality, and 26.2% experienced
stress. Logistic regression analysis revealed that stress was the most dominant risk factor (OR=11.78; 95% CI:
3.72–37.29; p<0.001), followed by dietary pattern (OR=2.49; 95% CI: 1.02–6.08; p=0.046), while sleep quality
showed no significant association (p=0.448). In conclusion, stress is the primary risk factor for gastritis among nursing students. Therefore, stress management and lifestyle interventions are necessary to prevent gastritis and promote students' well-being
