| dc.description.abstract | Background: Medical students are a population at high risk of academic stress
and often consume coffee to enhance focus and alertness. Coffee consumption
may affect the digestive system and sleep quality, particularly in relation to
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and insomnia.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between coffee
consumption and GERD symptoms and to evaluate the role of insomnia among
medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam Indonesia.
Methods: This was an observational quantitative study with a cross-sectional
design conducted among active medical students of Universitas Islam Indonesia.
Data were collected using a coffee consumption questionnaire, the GERD-Q to
assess GERD symptoms, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess
insomnia. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses.
Results: A total of 67 respondents participated in this study, the majority of whom
were female. The results showed no significant association between coffee
consumption and GERD occurrence based on consumption status (p=0.349),
duration (p=0.108), frequency (p=0.458), or type of coffee consumed (p=0.182).
Conclusion: Coffee consumption is not significantly associated with GERD
symptoms among medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam
