Abstract
Background: A balanced diet can prevent the development of long-term health issues such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and cancer. The study's goal was to assess the nursing students' attitudes toward sensible dieting.
Materials and methods: The current study was conducted using a descriptive study design. The study ran from December 15, 2022, to April 15, 2023. The probability sampling method simple random was used to select (288) males and females. The sample was collected by direct interviews with students, face to face. The data were collected by developing a questionnaire based on the previous study and the collected data was arranged, analyzed, and presented in descriptive statistics by using "Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program version 26".
Results: The research indicates that there are noteworthy obstacles to adopting a healthy diet among students, with a standard deviation of 0.611 and a mean of 3.1462. With a standard deviation of 0.569, the perceived benefits of healthy dieting were 4.110.
Conclusion: The researchers concluded that maintaining a healthy state through adherence to a healthy diet is significantly hampered by personal, social, and organizational factors.
背景:均衡的饮食可以预防长期健康问题的发展,如糖尿病、肥胖、高血压、心脏病和癌症。本研究的目的是评估护生对合理节食的态度。材料和方法:本研究采用描述性研究设计。这项研究从2022年12月15日持续到2023年4月15日。采用概率抽样法,简单随机抽取男女各288人。样本是通过与学生面对面的直接访谈收集的。在之前研究的基础上,采用问卷调查的方式收集数据,并使用“Statistical Package for The Social Sciences program version 26”对收集到的数据进行整理、分析和描述性统计。结果:研究表明,学生在健康饮食方面存在显著障碍,标准差为0.611,均值为3.1462。在0.569的标准差下,健康节食的感知收益为4.110。结论:研究人员得出结论,通过坚持健康饮食来保持健康状态受到个人、社会和组织因素的显著阻碍。
