August 11, 2022 updated by: Gülin Öztürk Özkan, Istanbul Medeniyet University

Evaluation of Intuitive Eating and Hedonic Hunger Status and the Effects of Intuitive Eating and Hedonic Deficit on Body Mass Index, Mental Health and Sleep Quality in University Students.

This study was conducted with the participation of 62 female and 38 male students between the ages of 18-36 studying at various universities. A questionnaire consisting of seven parts was applied to the participants. In the first part, 20; demographic data and general health status of the participants; There were 11 questions including nutritional habits and anthropometric measurements (body weight and height). The other parts of the questionnaire were the Intuitive Eating Scale (IES-2), Power of Food Scale (PFS-Tr), Food Craving Questionnaire (FCQ-T), the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Scale (PUKI), Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) and Palatable Eating Motive Scale (PEMS), respectively contains. Consent from the participants was also obtained with the questionnaire form.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intuitive eating scale (IES-2)
Time Frame: 2 months
Intuitive eating scale (IES-2) consists of 23 questions, each of which includes five options ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. A 5-point Likert scale was used in the scale. In 1,2,3,7,8,9,10 questions, strongly disagree 5, disagree 4, undecided 3, agree 2 and strongly agree 1 point. The scoring of the answers to the other questions is in the opposite order (strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, undecided 3, agree 4, and strongly agree 5 points). The scale score was calculated by dividing the total score obtained at the end of the questions by 23. Intuitive eating behavior also increases in parallel with the increase in the scale score. The median values of the Intuitive Eating Scores of the students participating in the study were found. Participants with a scale score below the median value were considered as having no intuitive eating behavior, and participants with a median value and above were considered individuals with intuitive eating behavior

Power of food scale (PFS)
Time Frame: 2 months
Power of food scale (PFS) is a scale developed to evaluate the effects of palatable foods on the psychological and hedonic states of individuals. The Turkish version with a reliability study was used in this study (PFS-Tr) A validated version of this scale consisting of 15 items was used. The scale was evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale. Accordingly, I strongly disagree 1 point, I disagree 2 points, I am undecided 3 points, I agree 4 points, and I strongly agree 5 points. The scores obtained from all items were divided into five and the scale score was found. It was concluded that the hedonic hunger levels of individuals with a nutritional power score of 2.5 and above increased. It has been accepted that individuals with a high score are sensitive to the food environment and psychologically under the influence of food
2 months
Food Craving Questionnaire (FCQ)
Time Frame: 2 months
Food Craving Questionnaire (FCQ) is a scale developed for the assessment of food cravings. The Turkish version with a reliability study was used in this study (FCQ-T). In this scale, evaluation is made with a 6-point Likert scale. It was scored always 6 points, mostly 5 points, often 4 points, occasionally 3 points, rarely 2 points, never 1 point. High scale scores of the participants indicate an increase in food cravings
2 months
Pittsburg Sleep Quality Scale (PUKI)
Time Frame: 2 months
Pittsburg Sleep Quality Scale (PUKI) is a scale developed to evaluate sleep quality. This scale includes 18 items with 7 components. These components are subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, use of sleep medication, and daytime sleep dysfunction. Each component is scored between 0-3 points, with a maximum total score of 21. A total score of 5 or more indicates poor sleep quality, and an increase in the score indicates a decrease in sleep quality
2 months
Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS)
Time Frame: 2 months
the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), whose reliability study was conducted, was used. The scale consists of 14 questions and is evaluated with a 5-point Likert scale. It is scored as 1 point to strongly disagree, 2 points to disagree, 3 points to slightly agree, 4 points to agree and 5 points to completely agree. The total score on the scale is between 14 and 70. The increase in the total score indicates that the mental well-being of the individual increases.
