Abstract

BACKGROUND: It is widely known that excessive or prolonged stress in humans, can negatively affect eating behavior. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to validate the Salzburg Stress Eating Scale (SSES) in the Greek language and to examine its psychometric properties, in a sample of adults, in Greece. METHODS: An online survey was conducted. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the three-factor eating questionnaire (TFEQ) R-18 and two subscales of the Dutch Eating Behavior questionnaire (DEBQ) were used, together with the SSES. Certain sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics were also assessed. Exploratory Factor analysis (EFA), Cronbach’s α and Spearman’s rho were used. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 368 participants (51.1% women) and the mean age of the participants was 35 years. EFA indicated one factor in SSES with Eigenvalues > 1, which explained the 54.6% of total variance. The Cronbach’s Alpha was 0.920. SSES was significantly positively correlated with the subscales of the DEBQ (for the Restrained Eating subscale r = 0.147 and for the Emotional Eating subscale r = 0.615, p < 0.001) and was significantly negatively correlated with two subscales of the TEFQ (for the TFEQ1 r = – 0.233 and for the TFEQ2 r = – 0.562, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The Greek version of SSES is a reliable tool for assessing changes in eating behavior, in relation to stress.

希腊版萨尔茨堡压力饮食量表在成人中的验证

背景:众所周知，人类过度或长期的压力会对饮食行为产生负面影响。目的:本研究的目的是验证萨尔斯堡压力饮食量表(ses)的希腊语，并在希腊成年人样本中检查其心理测量特性。方法:采用在线调查方法。采用压力感知量表(PSS)、三因素饮食问卷(TFEQ) R-18和荷兰饮食行为问卷(DEBQ)的两个分量表，并结合进食行为量表(ss)进行研究。某些社会人口和生活方式特征也被评估。采用探索性因子分析(EFA)、Cronbach’s α和Spearman’s rho。结果:样本包括368名参与者(51.1%为女性)，参与者的平均年龄为35岁。EFA表示具有特征值>的一个因素;1，这解释了54.6%的总方差。Cronbach’s Alpha为0.920。主观生活能力与DEBQ各分量表呈显著正相关(克制饮食分量表r = 0.147，情绪饮食分量表r = 0.615, p <0.001)，并且与TEFQ的两个分量表呈显著负相关(TFEQ1 r = - 0.233, TFEQ2 r = - 0.562, p <0.001)。结论:希腊版本的ses是评估饮食行为变化的可靠工具，与压力有关。
