This was a cross sectional descriptive study carried out among Medical and Nursing students to assess the presence of eating disorders. Data was collected using self administered 'Sick, Control, One, Fat, Food' (SCOFF) and 'Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26)' questionnaires. It was found that 34.1% and 10.4% of the participants were at high risk to suffer from eating disorders on SCOFF and EAT-26 scales. Further, age, gender and education found to have significant association on SCOFF and EAT-26 scores (p < 0.05). Thus, the findings suggest the need for effective interventions to prevent depression and eating disorders among the future health professionals.
这是一项在医学和护理专业学生中开展的横断面描述性研究，旨在评估饮食失调症的存在情况。使用自行填写的“病态、控制、一、肥胖、食物”（SCOFF）问卷和“饮食态度测试（EAT - 26）”问卷收集数据。结果发现，在SCOFF和EAT - 26量表上，分别有34.1%和10.4%的参与者有患饮食失调症的高风险。此外，年龄、性别和教育程度与SCOFF和EAT - 26得分存在显著关联（p < 0.05）。因此，研究结果表明需要采取有效干预措施，以预防未来卫生专业人员出现抑郁症和饮食失调症。
