Examining the relationship between Orthorexia Nervosa and healthy lifestyle behaviors in students

Abstract Background Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) is an eating disorder characterized by a pathological obsession to healthy eating and excessive preoccupation with the consumption of healthy food. The ON levels of individuals are affected by their healthy lifestyle behaviors. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between ON levels as well as associated factors and healthy lifestyle behaviors in female students at Malatya Battalgazi Dormitory. Methods Our descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019 and included 300 female dormitory students. The survey form used in the study consisted of questions regarding sociodemographic characteristics and eating habits; the Orthorexia Nervosa Evaluation Scale and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale were also utilized. The Chi-Square, Student t, One Way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used in the statistical analysis of data and p < 0.05 was found to be significant. Results It was found that 16.7% of students had an inclination towards ON. Students who had 2 meals a day or less exhibited significantly lower ON tendencies compared to those who had 3 meals a day or more (p < 0.05). The groups showed statistical variations in total Healthy Lifestyle Behavior scores and sub-class scores when compared according to levels of parental education (p < 0.05). While the average Healthy Lifestyle Behavior score total was 124.8±14.61 in students who displayed ON tendencies, those that did not show such tendencies had a mean score of 120.0±19.74. Conclusions Students with ON tendencies have a higher healthy lifestyle behavior score. In addition, students consuming less than 2 main meals daily showed less signs of ON. In this case, it is necessary to prioritise updating and improving the methods evaluating the ON trends. It is thought that ON tendencies can be reduced and healthy lifestyle behaviors can be improved in students with education concerning nutritional awareness. Key messages The female students staying at Malatya Battalgazi Dormitory show low signs of ON. Healthy lifestyle behaviors of female students staying at Malatya Battalgazi Dormitory are above average.

Comparing the impact of educational messages based on an extended parallel process model on solid waste separation behaviors in female students: A four-group randomized trial

BackgroundThe increase in non-separated solid waste is a threat to environmental health. People may be motivated to reduce the destructive effects of waste accumulation in the environment by receiving educational messages and learning the proper methods of waste separation. This study aimed to determine the effect of educational messages on waste separation in dormitory students based on Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM). MethodsThis randomized controlled trial was performed on 320 students categorized into four groups from October to December 2019. After installing waste separation tags on separate containers, three types of messages were presented to encourage and educate waste separation in the following four groups: threat messages; efficacy messages; threat/efficacy messages; and control group. Data were collected prior to and one week after training by a self-reported valid and reliable questionnaire. They were analyzed in SPSS21. ResultsIn the efficacy group and threat/efficacy group, not only the mean scores of “perceived threat associated with non-segregation and waste accumulation”, “attitude” and “intention” but also the mean score of “efficacy” and “waste separation behavior” were improved (P < 0.05). In both groups, the mean score of “perceived barriers” for waste separation was lower than the other two groups (P < 0.001). DiscussionUse of efficacy-based massages alone or in combination with the threat component was proposed to promote waste separation. No specific study has documented the effectiveness of messages based on EPPM on solid waste separation behaviors. The current study highlighted the effectiveness of using EPPM to promote waste-separation behavior in practice, not in theory.

Gender-based differences in risk-taking behaviors among high school students in Southeast Iran.

Risk-taking behaviors among adolescents can negatively affect different dimensions of their health. This study was conducted to identify the gender-based differences in risk-taking behaviors among high school students in a Muslim population. Grade 10 students studying in high schools located in Kerman Province, Iran were enrolled through cluster sampling (n=2,676), and data were collected using a well-validated questionnaire about violence, sexual behaviors, and traffic-related conduct over the past 12 months. The tool also consisted questions regarding drug use over the past 30 days and over lifetime (i.e., current and ever use of drugs, respectively). The number of female participants was 1,407 (52.6%). The boys who had girlfriends (33.0%) were almost twice as many as the girls who had boyfriends (17.1%). Among the respondents, 27.8 and 12.0% of the boys and girls engaged in physical fighting, respectively. Overall, the prevalence of water pipe use in the last 30 days (18.7%) and over lifetime (43.5%) was higher than that of the consumption of other substances. The second and third most popular substances used in the past 30 days among boys and girls were alcohol and cigarettes and cigarettes and alcohol, respectively. On the whole, marijuana figured in the lowest lifetime use among the respondents. The rate of risk-taking behaviors in female students was lower than in males, and this difference was more evident than in Western countries. This discrepancy seems to be more obvious in cases where the religious prohibition of a behavior is greater such as extramarital intimacy.

The Influence of Health Promotion on Female Students' Behaviour in SMA An - Nizam Medan about Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a gynaecological disorder that is often characterised by dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and or infertility. These symptoms are very common and often found as a symptom of other diseases so that endometriosis is more difficult to diagnose or often diagnosed late. Therefore, diseases like this would be better if we prevent them before they suffer. Although endometriosis is caused by multifactor, we can still do simple prevention and be positive. However, several other factors cause this prevention not to be applied in daily life such as lack of knowledge, inadequate facilities or an environment that does not support. Therefore, health promotion as a medium of information and the establishment of community self-reliance is expected to shift bad habits or form new good habits to be more vigilant and prevent endometriosis. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with the pretest-posttest method and was processed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Based on the results of data analysis, there is a significant increase in the behaviour of female students before and after health promotion.

Eating Disorders and the Risk of their Development in Students according to the Level of Personal Anxiety

The research examined eating disorders and the risk of their development in students according to the level of personal anxiety from a gender perspective. An analysis showed a connection between the level of personal anxiety and compulsive and external types of eating behavior in female students. The sample group consisted of 70 people, of whom 52,9 % had a high level of personal anxiety (the proportion of girls was 83,8 %). 95,7 % of students had either compulsive (64,2 %) or external (21,4 %) eating disorder. At this age, an eating disorder does not affect body weight. However, if the level of personal anxiety increases, it escalates the risk of developing at least three types of eating disorders by 11,5 times. With an increase in the level of personal anxiety, the risk of developing external overeating increases by 12,5 times and the risk of developing a compulsive type of eating behavior increases by 1,5 times. The research revealed some gender features of eating disorders development: girls with a high level of personal anxiety proved to have a 5,68 times higher risk of developing various eating disorders. However, a study in the ability to cope with stress in students with different levels of personal anxiety with regard to gender did not show any statistically significant differences in the study groups. The research demonstrated that there is a need in psycho-preventive measures that would shape rational nutrition stereotypes in students.

Psychological distress and risk for suicidal behavior among university students in contemporary China

BackgroundPsychological distress and suicidal behavior are important mental health problems among university students and warrant research to inform strategies for effective prevention in this young population. The present study aimed to assess psychological distress and suicidal behavior and to unravel their associations among university students. MethodsA total of 5972 undergraduate students, randomly selected from six universities in central China, comprised the sample. The Chinese version of the Symptom Checklist-90-revised (SCL-90-R) was used to assess various psychological symptoms. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between psychological distress and risk for suicidal behavior. Results40.7% of the university students reported positive in a least one of the 9 psychological symptom dimensions assessed by the SCL-90-R. 7.6% of the students reported suicidal behavior in the previous twelve months. The risk of suicidal behavior was significantly associated with psychological symptoms of all types, but there were notable differences by sex. For male students, depression and phobic anxiety increased the risk of suicidal behavior. Meanwhile, depression and obsessive-compulsiveness were positively associated with suicidal behavior in female students. Furthermore, increasing risk of suicidal behavior was associated with increasing positive symptom total (PST) score and a statistically significant trend was observed. LimitationsData collected from a cross-sectional survey does not allow any examination of causal inference. ConclusionsPsychological distress and suicidal behavior were both common among university students; and psychological distress was highly associated with suicidal behavior. The findings underscore the importance of mental health care for university students.
