Weight Fluctuation and Diet Concern Negatively Affect Food-Related Life Satisfaction in Chilean Male and Female Adolescents.

ABSTRACT: Problematic eating behaviors and obesity are frequent problems encountered during adolescence that may potentially result in psychological, social and physical consequences that may interfere with adolescent development and well-being. The present study evaluates the relationship between satisfaction with food-related life and satisfaction with family life, and their relationship with life satisfaction in male and female adolescents. We explored the relationships between both subscales of the Revised Restraint Scale (RRS), Diet Concern (DC) and Weight Fluctuation (WF) and adolescent life satisfaction as well as satisfaction with food-related life and family life. We also explored the moderating role of socioeconomic status (SES). A questionnaire was applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 470 adolescents (mean age 13.2 years, 52.3% female) in Chile, including the RRS, Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Satisfaction with Food-related Life (SWL-Food) scale and Satisfaction with Family Life (SWL-Family) scale. Using structural equation modeling, we found that adolescent life satisfaction was related to satisfaction with family life and food-related life in both genders. In male adolescents, a negative relationship was identified between WF and food-related life satisfaction. In contrast, a negative relationship was identified in female adolescents between DC and food-related life satisfaction. DC and WF were not directly related to life satisfaction or to satisfaction with family life in either gender. SES was found to moderate the relationship between food-related life satisfaction and life satisfaction and the relationship between WF and food-related life satisfaction in female adolescents. These findings suggest that reducing DC in female adolescents and reducing WF in male adolescents and female adolescents from higher SES may improve their food-related life satisfaction.

Project description:Interventions: The intervention is a face-to-face educational psychoanalysis program.Intervention group:Intervention method: Training groups will be 4 to 6 people and the training is done in a classroom formed at the infirmary, the training class includes:A: Educational pamphlet provided to the learner at the beginning of the classB: PowerPoint using a computer and monitorThe training time will be 60 minutes. At the beginning of the session and before the training, the researcher gives the questionnaires to patients and asks them to complete those questionnaires, then the training begins by the researcher. According to the educational pamphlet, the researcher first outlines the importance of conducting these examinations and notes the dangers of non-timely examinations and its non-adherence. Then explains the examination method with the help of images that represent how the examination will be performed. These images are available on Pamphlet and PowerPoint; Images and explanations will be based on how to make such examinations scientifically as well as the special procedure of the surgeon. Through these images and descriptions, we help the patients to learn how to prepare themselves for examinations. We explain to patients the cause of each question doctor asks and they will be asked to answer the questions correctly and tell the doctor real signs and symptoms in order to help the doctor identify the actual diagnosis. The duration of this training phase is estimated 30 minutes. After the training stage, the psychological preparation of patients begins. Fellow psychologist who is already coordinated with the research project, talks with patients and makes them mentally prepared to accept such examinations. The duration of this psychological counseling will be 30 minutes. During this psychologica Primary outcome(s): Anexiety_ embarrassment_ concern about judgment. Timepoint: Before intervention and after intervention. Method of measurement: Measurement of Beck’s Anxiety Scale and measurement of embarrassment and concern are judgments of the medical embarrassment questionnaire. Study Design: Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Single, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: Sample selection: the method of selecting admission days of this surgeon for the intervention and control group will be randomly and by using random number table in block method. Visitation days for the mentioned surgeon will be done by randomized block design, and weekdays will be allocated to two groups through block method. First, the researcher constitutes different permutations of A (indicating the visitation date of intervention group) and B (indicating the visitation date of control group) which consist of 6 different modes: for example (1-AABB, 2-ABAB… 6-ABAB). Then to select specific days for control group and intervention group from the table, randomly moves his finger from a point in the random number table in a row or column direction. If a number between one and six is observed, its permutation will be noted. For example, if
