Adolescents' Level of Knowledge about Popular Diets and The Relationship Between Approaches and Emotional States, Descriptive Research
Öz
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes of adolescent students in a high school about popular diets and their emotional states.
Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 volunteers aged 10-19 between 15 January- 15 February 2024. A questionnaire form prepared by the researchers, including questions on demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, eating habits, knowledge, opinions, and emotional states regarding popular diets, was applied to the participants through face-to-face interviews. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 27, and the significance level was accepted as p<0.05.
Results: 50.5% of the participants were female and 49.5% were male. 45.0% of the participants stated that they had researched healthy eating, and 48.0% defined popular diets as 'diets known by everyone'. The most well-known popular diet was intermittent fasting (44.0%), and 36.0% of the participants stated that they had practiced this diet before. The most common source of access to popular diets was the media (67%). While 40.0% of the participants reported not experiencing significant mood changes after dieting, 30.0% reported experiencing changes. Female students had a significantly higher level of knowledge about popular diets than male students (p<0.05).
Conclusion: It was found that adolescents are interested in healthy nutrition, intermittent fasting is the most known among popular diets, and the media is the most effective source of information. In this context, it is recommended to monitor nutritional content in the media and conduct accurate information activities for adolescents.
