In this study, we examined the relationship between university students' attitudes toward healthy nutrition with mindful eating, motivation to participate in physical activity, and academic success.
A total of 497 healthy students aged between 21 and 38 were randomly selected from among senior students of the Faculty of Health Sciences and nonhealth-related faculties. In the study, a questionnaire form consisting of questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants were used, along with the Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN), Mindful Eating Questionnaire, and Motivation Scale for Participation in Physical Activity.
The total scores of ASHN and MEQ were found to be significantly higher in those studying in health-related departments and those with high academic success. In addition, a significant inverse relationship was found between the total score of MEQ and BMI and waist circumference. A statistically significant and positive correlation was found between the total mean score of ASHN and the total mean score of MEQ and MSPPA.
It has been concluded that the development of healthy eating and lifestyle habits in university students positively affects their academic success as well as their general health.
本研究旨在探讨大学生对健康营养的态度与正念饮食、参与体育活动的动机与学业成功之间的关系。
从健康科学学院和非健康相关学院的高年级学生中随机抽取了 497 名健康学生，年龄在 21 岁至 38 岁之间。在研究中，使用了一份包含参与者社会人口特征问题的问卷表，以及健康营养态度量表（ASHN）、正念饮食问卷和参与体育活动的动机量表。
研究发现，在健康相关专业学习和学业成绩较高的学生中，ASHN 和 MEQ 的总分明显更高。此外，MEQ 的总分与 BMI 和腰围呈显著负相关。ASHN 的总分均值与 MEQ 和 MSPPA 的总分均值之间存在显著正相关。
研究结果表明，大学生养成健康的饮食和生活习惯，不仅对他们的学业成功，而且对他们的整体健康都有积极的影响。
