Abstract

Positive Psychological (PP) constructs (e.g., optimism and gratitude) may impact the adherence to healthy behaviors, including diet, though prior studies have shown mixed findings. This qualitative study explored the relationships between PP constructs and dietary behaviors among 21 adults with metabolic syndrome through semi-structured interviews. Directed content analysis led to five themes: eating healthfully leads to PP constructs, PP constructs lead to eating healthfully, eating healthfully prevents negative emotions, healthy behaviors associated with diet, and an upward healthy spiral. Given the close relationship between PP constructs and diet, these may be targeted to improve diet in risk populations through interventions that promote well-being.

积极心理建构在代谢综合征患者饮食和饮食行为中的作用:一项定性研究。

积极心理(PP)结构(如乐观和感恩)可能会影响对健康行为的坚持，包括饮食，尽管先前的研究显示了不同的结果。本研究通过半结构化访谈，探讨了21例成人代谢综合征患者的PP结构与饮食行为之间的关系。定向内容分析得出五个主题:健康饮食导致PP结构，PP结构导致健康饮食，健康饮食防止负面情绪，与饮食相关的健康行为，以及向上的健康螺旋。考虑到PP结构与饮食之间的密切关系，这些可以通过促进健康的干预措施来改善风险人群的饮食。
