Abstract:
Academic stress and transitioning to young adulthood can lead medical students to develop inadequate eating habits, affecting both their physical and mental well-being and potentially compromising their ability to offer effective preventive counseling to future patients. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the levels of mindful eating and nutrition knowledge in Romanian medical students and their associations with various sociodemographic variables. Additionally, we explore the relationship between mindful eating and nutrition knowledge while accounting for sociodemographic factors and examine the impact of these factors on excess weight. Significant predictors of excess weight include high weight gain in the past year (OR = 15.8), the mindful eating questionnaire (MEQ) score (OR = 0.131), male gender (OR = 2.5), and being in the clinical years of medical school (OR = 2.2). While nutrition knowledge levels do not directly impact weight status, they share a 4% common variance with mindfulness in multivariate analysis. Notably, high weight gain is independent of the levels of mindful eating, but univariate testing links it to disinhibition and emotional response, components of mindfulness. Mindful eating stands out as independently associated with both nutrition knowledge and excess weight among medical students. Thus, interventions to address obesity should consider incorporating mindfulness training to enhance food intake awareness and improve weight management outcomes in Romanian medical students.
摘要:
学业压力和过渡到年轻成年可能导致医学生养成不适当的饮食习惯,影响他们的身心健康,并可能损害他们为未来患者提供有效预防咨询的能力。这项研究的主要目的是分析罗马尼亚医学生的正念饮食和营养知识水平及其与各种社会人口统计学变量的关系。此外,我们在考虑社会人口统计学因素的同时,探讨了注意饮食与营养知识之间的关系,并研究了这些因素对超重的影响。超重的重要预测因素包括过去一年的高体重增加(OR=15.8),正念饮食问卷(MEQ)得分(OR=0.131),男性(OR=2.5),并且在医学院的临床年(OR=2.2)。虽然营养知识水平不会直接影响体重状况,在多变量分析中,他们与正念有4%的共同差异。值得注意的是,高体重增加与正念饮食的水平无关,但是单变量测试将其与抑制和情绪反应联系起来,正念的组成部分。在医学生中,正念饮食与营养知识和超重独立相关。因此,解决肥胖问题的干预措施应考虑纳入正念训练,以提高罗马尼亚医学生的食物摄入意识并改善体重管理结果.
