Abstract(s)
Os comportamentos e hábitos alimentares apresentam particular impacto na promoção da saúde e, por sua vez, na prevenção da doença. Existe um número significativo de fatores internos e externos ao organismo que influenciam o comportamento alimentar, nomeadamente a perceção da imagem corporal e a regulação emocional. O contexto militar apresenta diversos aspetos singulares da profissão que podem ter implicações no comportamento e hábitos alimentares e, por sua vez, para a saúde.
O presente estudo teve como objetivos 1) Caracterizar uma amostra da Marinha Portuguesa relativamente a dados sociodemográficos; 2) Caracterizar o comportamento alimentar, a perceção da imagem corporal e a regulação emocional; 3) Analisar se existe associação numa amostra de militares da Marinha Portuguesa entre o comportamento alimentar, a regulação emocional e a perceção da imagem corporal e 4) Analisar a associação do comportamento alimentar, perceção da imagem corporal e regulação emocional tendo em conta as variáveis sociodemográficas. Uma amostra de 192 militares da Marinha Portuguesa do sexo masculino, com idades entre os 20 e os 59 anos (M = X, SD = 8.8), respondeu a um questionário online incluindo a recolha de dados sociodemográficos e em três instrumentos de avaliação psicológica: Testes de Atitudes Alimentares; Versão Reduzida da Escala de Insatisfação Corporal Masculina e Escala de Regulação Emocional.
Os resultados demonstraram uma associação negativa significativa entre o comportamento alimentar e a perceção da imagem corporal, mas não se verificou correlação significativa entre o comportamento alimentar e a regulação emocional.
Este estudo permitiu obter dados exploratórios sobre o comportamento alimentar, a satisfação da imagem corporal e a regulação emocional em militares da Marinha Portuguesa. Estes indicadores permitem refletir sobre futuras linhas de intervenção para promover um comportamento alimentar mais saudável nesta população, bem como uma maior adoção de comportamentos de saúde.
Eating behavior and eating habits have a special impact on health promotion and, in turn, on disease prevention. There is a quantum of interrelated factors, of internal and external origin to the organism, which influence eating behaviors and habits, namely the perception of body image and emotional regulation. The military environment presents several unique aspects of the profession that may have implications for eating behaviors and eating habits and, in turn, for health. The present study aimed to: 1) characterize a sample of military personnel of the Portuguese Navy in terms of sociodemographic data; 2) characterize eating behavior, body image perception and emotional regulation; 3) analyze whether there is an association in a sample of Portuguese Navy military personnel between eating behavior, emotional regulation and body image perception; and, 4) analyze the association between eating behavior, body image perception and emotional regulation taking into account sociodemographic variables. This investigation involved the participation of 192 male biological soldiers from the Portuguese Navy with a mean age of 45 years (SD=8.8). A questionnaire was organized comprising sociodemographic data and three psychological assessment instruments: Tests of Eating Attitudes; Short Version of the Male Body Dissatisfaction Scale and Emotional Regulation Scale. The results of the present study demonstrated a statistically significant negative association between eating behavior and body image perception, but there was no statistically significant correlation between eating behavior and emotional regulation in this sample of military personnel. This study made it possible to obtain exploratory data on the military population, as well as on variables of eating behavior, body image satisfaction and emotional regulation in military personnel, which may be indicators of possible future lines of intervention to help promote healthier eating behavior in this population, as well as greater adoption of health behaviors.
