Evaluation of Associated Factors with Nutrition Behavior and Dietary Self-efficacy for Healthy Food Choice among Primary School Students

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the associated factors with nutrition behavior and dietary self-efficacy for healthy food choices among primary school students. Methods: The study is a cross-sectional research conducted with 4th grade students in the city center of Eskisehir in the 2018 academic year. The study group consisted of 402 students studying in six primary schools in the city center of Eskisehir. Data of the study were collected using a questionnaire including socio-demographic characteristics, Food Behavior Scale (FBS), and Children Dietary Self-efficacy Scale (CDSS). Results: The mean age of the students in the study group was 9.88 ± 0.44 years and 51.0% of the students were female. Of the participants 19.9% were overweight and 10.2% were obese. While female students in CDSS chose healthy food with a mean ± SD 65% ± 24 percentages, male students chose healthy food with a mean ± SD 55% ± 25 percentages (p<0.001). Medium level positive relation (r = 0.426, p<0.001) was detected between scores taken from FBS and CDSS in Spearman Correlation Analysis. In the multiple linear regression performed to determine the relationship between FBS and CDSS after controlling the effect of related factors, it was determined that nutrition behavior indicated a positive relation ((β (95% CI): 0.398 (0.301-0.495)) with CDSS score. Conclusion: Dietary self-efficacy was determined as a factor influencing nutrition behavior. In this regard, it was concluded that monitoring the close relationship between nutrition behavior and dietary self-efficacy could be useful beginning from early ages.
