Beliefs, self-efficacy, subjective norms, and eating behaviors according to the breakfast frequency among female university students in South Korea.
Nutrition Research and Practice 2023 December
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Skipping breakfast is prevalent in young adult women. This study examined the psychosocial factors and eating behaviors according to the breakfast frequency among female university students.
SUBJECTS/METHODS: The subjects were female university students in Seoul, South Korea. A survey was done, and the data from 291 students were analyzed. The subjects were categorized into a high breakfast group (HBG) and low breakfast group (LBG). Analysis of covariance and multiple linear regression were mainly used in data analysis.
RESULTS: The subjects had breakfast 3.6 days/week on average. The HBG (47.4%) and the LBG (52.6%) differed significantly in breakfast status, including place, people eating together, breakfast menu, and breakfast preparers ( P < 0.001). The HBG agreed more strongly with the advantages of breakfast than the LBG ( P < 0.001). The disadvantages/barriers of breakfast were stronger in the LBG ( P < 0.001). The HBG felt more confidence in having breakfast ( P < 0.001) and confidence in general eating behaviors ( P < 0.05). The two groups also differed in the subjective norms from parents/professionals ( P < 0.001) and siblings/friends ( P < 0.01). The HBG showed desirable eating behaviors more frequently ( P < 0.001) and undesirable eating behaviors less frequently ( P < 0.001). Multiple regression showed that the following were significantly related to the breakfast frequency, explaining 57.3% of the variance: self-efficacy regarding having breakfast ( P < 0.001), perceived barriers of breakfast (no appetite/habit/indigestion, P < 0.001), desirable and undesirable eating behaviors ( P < 0.01), subjective norms from parents/professionals ( P < 0.05), and perceived barriers due to lack of time/preparation difficulties ( P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Psychosocial factors and eating behaviors were significantly related to the breakfast frequency. Nutrition education might include strategies to increase self-efficacy for breakfast, modify the beliefs, particularly the disadvantages/barriers of breakfast, adopt desirable eating behaviors, and elicit support from significant others.
