Resumen

Introducción: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la relación entre los hábitos de uso de los medios, la frecuencia y duración, y el índice de masa corporal sobre las actitudes alimentarias.

Material y métodos: El estudio transversal se realizó con alumnas que recibieron educación en nutrición y dietética en Estambul. Se aplicó un cuestionario que constaba de un cuestionario sociodemográfico, una Prueba de Actitud Alimentaria (EAT-40) y una Escala de Actitud en las Redes Sociales a 1248 voluntarias mediante el método de entrevista cara a cara.

Resultados: Se encontró que el 35,7% de los participantes presentaba actitudes alimentarias anormales y el 89,6% mostró una actitud positiva hacia las redes sociales. El 93,7% del grupo con actitudes alimentarias anormales indicó una actitud positiva hacia las redes sociales, el 0,4% tuvo una actitud negativa y la diferencia fue estadísticamente significativa (p = 0,001). Se observó una diferencia significativa entre EAT-40 y pensar en un problema de alimentación, tener una membresía en las redes sociales y pasar tiempo en las redes sociales (p <0.05).

Conclusiones: Las redes sociales tienen un efecto en los estudiantes de dietética nutricional sobre la actitud alimentaria anormal; no mostró un efecto significativo sobre el IMC.
