Yetişkin Bireylerde Sürdürülebilir ve Sağlıklı Yeme Davranışları ile E-Sağlıklı Beslenme Okuryazarlığı ve Beslenme Bilgi Düzeyi Arasındaki İlişkinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: Gelecek nesillere yaşanabilir bir dünya bırakmak için bireylerin sürdürülebilir ve sağlıklı beslenme davranışlarının arttırılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, yetişkin bireylerin sürdürülebilir ve sağlıklı beslenme davranışları ile e-sağlıklı beslenme okuryazarlığı ve beslenme bilgi düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın örneklemini, yaşları 18-65 yıl arasında değişen 110 erkek ve 102 kadın olmak üzere toplam 222 birey oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma verileri anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Bireylerin sürdürülebilir ve sağlıklı beslenme davranışlarını belirlemek amacıyla “Sürdürülebilir ve Sağlıklı Beslenme Davranışları Ölçeği”, elektronik sağlıklı beslenme okuryazarlık düzeyini değerlendirmek amacıyla “e-Sağlıklı Beslenme Okuryazarlık Ölçeği (e-SBO)” ve beslenme bilgi düzeyini belirlemek amacıyla “Yetişkinler için Beslenme Bilgi Düzeyi Ölçeği (YETBİD)” kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Kadınlarda sürdürülebilir ve sağlıklı beslenme davranışları ölçeği toplam puanı 4,0±1,05 ve erkeklerde 3,9±0,87’dir (p>0,05). Kadınların e-SBO düzeyleri (41,4±7,26) erkeklerden (38,6±7,20) daha yüksektir (p<0,001). Kadınların hem YETBİD temel beslenme hem de besin tercihi puanı (sırasıyla, 59,9±10,48 ve 40,4±8,95) erkeklerden (sırasıyla, 53,3±11,08 ve 35,2±10,77) daha yüksektir (p<0,001). Sürdürülebilir ve sağlıklı beslenme davranışları ölçeği toplam puanı ile e-SBO toplam puanı, YETBİD temel beslenme puanı ve besin tercihi puanı arasında pozitif yönlü ilişki saptanmıştır (p<0,001). Aynı zamanda, e-SBO toplam puanı ile YETBİD temel beslenme ve besin tercihi puanları arasında da pozitif korelasyon bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Sonuç: Beslenme bilgi düzeyi ve dijital sağlıklı beslenme okuryazarlığı, sürdürülebilir ve sağlıklı beslenme davranışlarının kazanılmasında önemli faktörlerdir. Bu nedenle, beslenme eğitimlerinin yaygınlaştırılması ve beslenme eğitimlerinin içerisinde sürdürülebilirlik kavramına yer verilmesi önerilebilir.

Evaluation of the Relationship between Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviors with e-Healthy Diet Literacy and Nutrition Knowledge Level in Adults

Abstract

Objective: It is necessary to increase the sustainable and healthy eating behaviors of individuals for leaving a livable world to next generations. This study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between sustainable and healthy eating behaviors, e-healthy diet literacy, and nutritional knowledge levels in adults. Materials and Methods: The study consists of 222 individuals (110 males, 102 females) aged between 18-65 years. Study data were obtained through a questionnaire. The “Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviors Scale” was used to evaluate sustainable and healthy eating behaviors. The “e-Healthy Diet Literacy Questionnaire (e-HDLQ)” was used to determine digital healthy diet literacy. The “Nutrition Knowledge Level for Adults Scale (YETBID)” was used to assess nutrition knowledge. Results: The mean total score of the sustainable and healthy eating behaviors scale was 4.0±1.05 in females and 3.9±0.87 in males (p>0.05). The mean e-HDLQ score of females (41.4±7.26) was higher than in females (38.6±7.20) (p<0.001). Both basic nutrition and food preference scores of females (59.9±10.48 and 40.4±8.95, respectively) were higher than in males (53.3±11.08 and 35.2±10.77, respectively) (p<0.001). There was a positive correlation between sustainable and healthy eating behaviors scale, e-HDLQ, YETBID basic nutrition, and food preference scores (p<0.001). There was also a positive correlation between e-HDLQ score, YETBID basic nutrition and food preference scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nutrition knowledge level and digital healthy diet literacy are important factors in acquiring sustainable and healthy eating behaviors. Therefore, it can be recommended to disseminate nutrition education by including the concept of sustainability.
