This report outlines our strategy to examine the influence of workplace stress on eating behaviour, discussing the current literature which explores the relationship between stress and eating behaviour. This research aims to add to and develop the current understanding of the links between stress and eating behaviour. Specifically the aims are to examine the effect of workplace stress in both day workers and shift workers and their subsequent eating behaviour.
The effect of healthy working environment initiatives on stress and eating behaviour will also be examined by comparing a workplace with such an initiative to one with no such initiative. The role of personality on both eating behaviour and stress susceptibility will be examined. In order to achieve this, 450 individuals from 3 public sector workplaces will be recruited. Anthropometric measurements (waist-hip ratio, BMI, visceral fat percentage) will be assessed, as well as personality, eating behaviour profiles, food intake (7-day weighed intake food diary) and both individual daily stressors as well as workplace stress assessed using the demand/control model of job strain will be assessed.
Implications for policy and future research are also discussed.
本报告概述了我们研究工作场所压力对饮食行为影响的策略，讨论了探索压力与饮食行为之间关系的现有文献。本研究旨在增进和拓展目前对压力与饮食行为之间联系的理解。具体目标是研究工作场所压力对日班工人和轮班工人的影响及其随后的饮食行为。
通过将实施健康工作环境倡议的工作场所与未实施该倡议的工作场所进行比较，研究健康工作环境倡议对压力和饮食行为的影响。将研究人格在饮食行为和压力易感性方面的作用。为实现这一目标，将从3个公共部门工作场所招募450名个体。将评估人体测量指标（腰臀比、体重指数、内脏脂肪百分比），以及人格、饮食行为概况、食物摄入量（7天称重食物摄入日记），并使用工作压力的需求/控制模型评估个体日常压力源以及工作场所压力。
还讨论了对政策和未来研究的启示。
