摘要

Background: As seafarers are believed to be more susceptible to eating-related illnesses and have a heightened vulnerability to developing eating disorders, this observational study assessed the present state of intuitive eating among seafarers while also investigating additional factors that may influence their intuitive eating habits. Methods: The cross-sectional study evaluate the dietary conception about intuitive eating and psychological factors using a paper-based questionnaire, including a brief demographic survey. Intuitive eating scale, Perceived Stress Scale and Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory with 15 items were adopted. The analysis included 287 male sea craft crew members. Independent sample T test was used to evaluate the differences between groups. Meanwhile, the relationships between diverse factors were assessed by Pearson correlation coefficients. Mediation analyses were conducted by using the SPSS PROCESS macro version 3.4 (model 4). Results: The outcomes of the Independent-samples T test revealed no statistically significant difference in intuitive eating between the overweight and normal weight groups (p > 0.05). The analysis using Pearson correlation indicated a significant negative association between stress and intuitive eating (r=-0.268, p < 0.05). On the other hand, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness were found to have a positive relationship with intuitive eating (all p < 0.05). By employing a structural equation model, it was observed that the impact of agreeableness on intuitive eating was fully mediated by stress (Effect value = 0.199, Boot SE = 0.064, Boot CI: (0.085, 0.339)). Conclusions: Conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness personality traits have a positive impact on the intuitive eating of seafarers. However, stress is found to be a negative factor that affects their eating patterns. Agreeableness may indirectly contribute to improving intuitive eating by reducing stress levels among seafarers. Nonetheless, it does not directly influence their intuitive eating. Therefore, managing stress could be an effective non-pharmaceutical approach for improving eating conception in this population.
