The aim of the study was to analyze potential relations between occupational stress, coping styles and ing habits.
Questionnaires administered to 160 public administration employees allowed for assessing eating habits, occupational stress and coping styles.
The eating habits correlated with work stress (ro-Spearman's = 0.17-0.29). More unhealthy eating patterns were observed in employees characterized by a higher level of stress. Such stressors as overload, lack of control over work and inappropriate work organization were especially related to poorer eating habits. Among the analyzed coping styles, focusing on emotions (ro-S = 0.19) and searching for emotional support most significantly correlated with poorer eating behaviors (ro-S = 0.16). There were statistically significant differences in eating habits, depending on the level of job stress (U = 1583.50, p < 0.05). Employees with high job stress had a stronger tendency to habitual and emotional eating more than those with a medium level of job stress.
The relationship between subjective assessment of job stress, coping and eating habits has been confirmed. Taking into account the role of stress and coping, as the potential determinants of eating patterns in humans, more attention should be paid to education and promotion of knowledge about the relationship between stress and human eating behaviors to prevent obesity and eating disorders.
本研究旨在分析职业压力、应对方式与饮食习惯之间的潜在关系。
对160名公共行政部门员工进行问卷调查，以评估饮食习惯、职业压力和应对方式。
饮食习惯与工作压力相关（斯皮尔曼相关系数=0.17 - 0.29）。压力水平较高的员工中观察到更多不健康的饮食模式。诸如工作负荷过重、对工作缺乏控制以及工作组织不当等压力源尤其与较差的饮食习惯相关。在分析的应对方式中，关注情绪（斯皮尔曼相关系数=0.19）和寻求情感支持与较差的饮食行为相关性最为显著（斯皮尔曼相关系数=0.16）。根据工作压力水平，饮食习惯存在统计学显著差异（U = 1583.50，p < 0.05）。与中等工作压力水平的员工相比，高工作压力的员工更倾向于习惯性进食和情绪化进食。
工作压力的主观评估、应对方式与饮食习惯之间的关系已得到证实。鉴于压力和应对方式作为人类饮食模式潜在决定因素的作用，应更加关注教育以及推广关于压力与人类饮食行为之间关系的知识，以预防肥胖和饮食失调。
