Özet

Purpose This study aims to determine the factors that influence food addiction (FA) in female nursing students. Design and Methods Twenty-four out of 51 (mean age = 19.8 +/- 1.36) women were identified from a sample of 645, who met the diagnostic criteria of FA using the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), and participated in this qualitative study. Findings Results of the study revealed that the factors affecting FA in students were conceptualized under four themes: "Social circle," "Situational and emotional signs," "Cognitive process," and "Weight gain and quality of life." Practice Implications It is recommended to offer specific intervention programs including personal or group counseling for those, recognized as having FA based on an addiction model, and to have a successful therapy.
