Abstract

This survey by correlation study with partial qualitative design examined the effect of attendance at breakfast with school achievement in 710 first-year nursing students at a nursing institute in Northern Taiwan. Dietary attendance cards were scanned by computer before each meal. Since the school is located at a geographically isolated suburban area, this program was compulsory for all first-year nursing students and was included in the tuition fee. Comparison of attendance at breakfast over the four-month semester (from September 1999 to January 2000) and final semester class ranking showed a lower attending rate of breakfast (attendance at breakfast equal to or under 60% of mean times in a 4-month semester) was significantly associated with lower scores on tests in six individual classes and a class rank; while a higher frequency of breakfast attendance (attendance at breakfast equal to or over 85% of mean times in a 4-month semester) was significantly associated with higher scores on tests in six individual classes and a higher class rank (p <.001). To determine the relationships between frequency of attending breakfast and practicing health promotion behaviors, the Chinese Health Promoting Scale was used. We also found that those who skipped breakfast frequently had more negative health promotion behaviors than those who attended breakfast more regularly (p <.001). These results indicate that school achievement is negatively affected when nursing students omit breakfast. The research outcome supports the importance of breakfast in school achievement.

护生早餐出席率与学业成绩的关系。
本研究采用部分质性设计的相关研究,以北台湾某护理学院710名一年级护生为研究对象,探讨早餐出席率与学业成绩的关系。每餐前用电脑扫描饮食考勤卡。由于学校位于地理上孤立的郊区,该课程对所有一年级护理专业的学生都是必修课,并包含在学费中。对四个月学期(1999年9月至2000年1月)的早餐出勤率和最后一个学期班级排名的比较表明,较低的早餐出勤率(四个月学期中早餐出勤率等于或低于平均时间的60%)与六个班级和一个班级排名的考试成绩较低显著相关;而吃早餐的频率越高(在4个月的学期中,吃早餐的频率等于或超过平均时间的85%),在6个班级的考试中得分越高,班级排名也越高(p < 0.001)。为了确定吃早餐频率与健康促进行为之间的关系,我们使用了中国健康促进量表。我们还发现,经常不吃早餐的人比经常吃早餐的人有更多的负面健康促进行为(p < 0.001)。结果表明,护生不吃早餐对学业成绩有负向影响。研究结果支持了早餐对学习成绩的重要性。
