Objective: To evaluate the eating behavior disorders in the nutrition and dietetics department students. Method: This study was conducted on a total of 210 volunteer students (201 female and 9 male), studying at Ondokuz Mayıs University Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. A questionnaire consisting of demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, Eating Attitude Test (EAT-40), Orthorexia-15 Scale (ORTO-15) and Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh Test (BITE) was applied to the students. The analysis of the data was evaluated with the SPSS 24.0 package program. Results: The students EAT-40, ORTO-15 and BITE test mean scores were 12.8±7.8 points, 37.8±3.4 points and 13.5±6.6 points, respectively. According to the ORTO-15 cutoff score, 73.3% of the students were found to be orthorexic. It was determined that BITE test mean scores increased as BMI increased (p<0.05). There was a negative correlation between EAT-40 score and ORTO-15 score, and a positive relationship between BMI groups and BITE score (r=-0.246), (r=0.437), (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it was found that deterioration in eating attitude was associated with an increase in orthorexia nervosa tendency. In addition, it has been observed that binge eating is an effective factor in increasing BMI. If the eating disorders of the Nutrition and Dietetics department students who are educated in the field of health and nutrition are like this, the extent of the nutritional problems in other university students may be more serious. For this reason, university students'eating attitudes should be evaluated and all students should be informed about healthy nutrition and eating disorders from childhood by giving them nutrition education.
Amaç: Beslenme ve Diyetetik bölümü öğrencilerinde yeme davranış bozukluklarının değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Bu çalışma, Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü'nde öğrenim görmekte olan 201 kadın, 9 erkek olmak üzere toplam 210 gönüllü öğrenci üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Öğrencilere demografik özellikler, antropometrik ölçümler, Yeme Tutum Testi (YTT-40), Ortoreksiya-15 Ölçeği (ORTO-15) ve Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh Testi’nden (BITE) oluşan anket formu uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 24.0 paket programı ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin YTT-40, ORTO-15 ve BITE testi puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 12.8±7.8 puan, 37.8±3.4 puan ve 13.5±6.6 puandır. ORTO-15 kesme puanına göre öğrencilerin %73.3’ünün ortorektik olduğu görülmüştür. BKİ arttıkça BITE testi puan ortalamalarının arttığı saptanmıştır. (p<0.05). YTT-40 puanı ile ORTO-15 puanı arasında negatif yönlü, BKİ grupları ve BITE puanı arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir (r=-0.246) (r=0.437) (p<0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonuçlarına göre yeme tutumundaki bozulmanın ortoreksiya nervoza eğilimindeki artışla ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca tıkınırcasına yeme durumunun BKİ artışında etkili bir faktör olduğu görülmüştür. Sağlık ve beslenme alanında eğitim alan Beslenme ve Diyetetik bölümü öğrencilerinin yeme bozuklukları durumu böyle ise diğer üniversite öğrencilerindeki beslenme sorunlarının boyutu daha ciddi olabilir. Bu nedenle üniversite öğrencilerinin yeme tutumları değerlendirilmeli, tüm öğrencilere çocukluk çağından itibaren sağlıklı beslenme ve yeme bozuklukları konusunda beslenme eğitimleri verilerek bu konuda bilgilendirilmeleri sağlanmalıdır.
