Yeme davranışı, bireyin biyolojik ihtiyaçlarının ötesinde sosyal, kültürel ve psikolojik dinamikler ile şekillenen karmaşık bir süreçtir. Aile, bireyin ilk yemek deneyimlerinin yaşandığı temel sosyal bağlam olarak, bu davranışların gelişiminde belirleyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, aile içindeki yemek yeme davranışlarının, özellikle çocukların beslenme alışkanlıkları üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmada, ailedeki yemek saatlerinin nasıl düzenlendiği, hangi yemeklerin sıkça tüketildiği, sağlıklı yeme alışkanlıklarının nasıl şekillendiği ve bu alışkanlıkların yetişkinlik dönemine nasıl yansıdığına dair bulguların elde edilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmanın evreni Siirt, örneklemi ise Siirt ilinde yaşayan 15 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Nitel veri toplama yöntemi kullanılarak veriler analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcılara yönelik derinlemesine mülakatlar yapılmış ve aile içindeki yemek alışkanlıkları, yemek zamanları, yemek seçimleri ve sağlıklı beslenme bilinci hakkında veriler toplanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, aile içindeki yemek yeme alışkanlıkları çocukların beslenme alışkanlıkları üzerinde önemli bir etki yaratmaktadır. Ailede yemek saatlerinin genellikle birlikte vakit geçirme amacıyla düzenlendiği ve bu saatlerin sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının pekiştirilmesine yardımcı olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, ailede sıkça tercih edilen yemeklerin geleneksel tariflere dayalı olduğu ve sağlıklı beslenme bilincinin annelerin meyve ve sebzeleri mevsiminde alması, işlenmiş gıdalardan kaçınılması gibi tutumlarla şekillendiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bu alışkanlıklar, yetişkinlik döneminde de sürdürülmektedir. Bu bulgular, aile içindeki yemek yeme alışkanlıklarının çocukların beslenme alışkanlıklarının gelişiminde belirleyici bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir.

Determinants of eating behavior: A family-focused study

Öz

Eating behavior is a complex process shaped by social, cultural, and psychological dynamics beyond an individual's biological needs. The family, as the primary social context where individuals have their first eating, plays a crucial role in the development of these behaviors. This study aims to examine the impact of family eating behaviors on children’s dietary habits. This study seeks to uncover findings on the how family meal times are organized, which foods are frequently consumed, how healthy eating habits are formed, and how these habits are reflected in adulthood. The study population comprises Siirt, with a sample of 15 participants residing in the Siirt province. Data were analyzed using qualitative data collection methods. In-depth interviews were conducted with participants, gathering data on family eating habits, meal times, food choices, and awareness of healthy eating. The findings reveal that family eating habits significantly influence children's dietary behaviors. Family meal times were found to be typically organized with the purpose of spending time together, reinforcing healthy eating habits. Additionally, the meals frequently prepared in families were based on traditional recipes, and healthy eating awareness was shaped by mothers' attitudes, such as purchasing seasonal fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods. These habits were observed to persist into adulthood. The results demonstrate that family eating habits play a decisive role in shaping children's dietary behaviors.
