Resumen

Introducción: La dieta mediterránea (DM) es reconocida como un patrón alimentario saludable que favorece la salud materna y fetal durante el embarazo. A medida que continúa aumentando el acceso a la información nutricional digital, la alfabetización electrónica en alimentación saludable (e-HDL) puede desempeñar un papel importante en la configuración de los comportamientos alimentarios. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la relación entre la adherencia a la DM y la e-HDL en mujeres embarazadas.

Métodos: Este estudio transversal se llevó a cabo en 400 mujeres embarazadas residentes en Niğde, Türkiye, entre enero y mayo de 2025. Los datos se recopilaron mediante entrevistas presenciales utilizando el Cuestionario de Adherencia a la Dieta Mediterránea (MEDAS) y la Escala de Alfabetización Electrónica en Alimentación Saludable (e-HDL). Las mediciones antropométricas, incluidas la talla y el peso corporal, se obtuvieron utilizando un estadiómetro y una báscula calibrada, respectivamente. Los datos se analizaron mediante análisis de correlación y regresión lineal múltiple.

Resultados: Las puntuaciones medias de MEDAS y e-HDL fueron 4,8 (1,5) y 35,7 (9,4), respectivamente, y el 88,0% de las participantes presentó baja adherencia a la dieta mediterránea. Las puntuaciones de MEDAS se asociaron positivamente con la puntuación total de e-HDL (r=0,259; p<0,001), la Evaluación de la Información (IE) (r=0,226; p<0,001) y la Aplicación (r=0,244; p<0,001). La e-HDL (β=0,280; p<0,001) y el nivel educativo (β=0,148; p=0,003) se asociaron de forma independiente con la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea.

Conclusiones: Una mayor alfabetización electrónica en alimentación saludable (e-HDL) se asoció con una mejor adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (DM) en mujeres embarazadas. El fortalecimiento de la e-HDL mediante programas de educación nutricional digital podría favorecer la adopción de hábitos alimentarios más saludables durante el embarazo.
