Abstract

Amaç: Yeme bozuklukları,
önemli fiziksel komplikasyonlarla ilişkili ciddi ruhsal hastalıklardır. Bu
çalışmanın amacı, ergen öğrenciler arasında bozulmuş yeme tutumları sıklığını
ve psikolojik semptomlarla ilişkisini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışmaya 338 lise öğrencisi katılmıştır.
Veriler, Yeme Tutum Testi-26 (YTT˗26), Duke Sağlığı Profili ve sosyodemografik
soruları içeren kendi kendine uygulanabilen bir anket formu kullanılarak
toplandı. 20 ya da daha yüksek bir YTT-26'ı skoru, bozuk yeme tutumlarının
varlığı olarak tanımlandı. Veriler, hem tanımlayıcı hem de analitik
istatistikler kullanılarak, SPSS 16,0 ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Yeme bozukluğu tutumlarının sıklığı %18,3 (erkeklerde
%7,1, kızlarda %21,3) olarak bulundu. Bu sonuçlar, yeme bozuklukları gelişme
riski ile yaş, cinsiyet ve ruhsal sağlık arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
ilişkiler olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuç:
Yeme bozuklukları, özellikle kızlarda olmak üzere ergenler arasında daha yaygın
bir hale gelmektedir. Yeme bozuklukları ergenlerin ruh sağlığıyla güçlü bir
şekilde ilişkili olduğundan, özellikle okul eğitimi müfredatında, her iki
cinsiyet için ergenlik döneminin gelişimsel zorlukları ve sorunlarına odaklanan
müdahale programları uygulanmalıdır.
