ORTHOREXIC EATING BEHAVIORS RELATED TO EXERCISE ADDICTION AND INTERNAL MOTIVATIONS AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. CASE STUDY OF UUTH UYO
Abstract:
This case study explores the interconnection between orthorexic eating behaviors, exercise addiction, and internal motivations among university students, with a specific focus on the context of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH) in Uyo. Orthorexia nervosa, characterized by an obsessive focus on consuming healthy and pure foods, has gained attention as a potential concern among individuals pursuing fitness goals, particularly in university settings. The study aims to investigate the prevalence of orthorexic eating behaviors, the correlation with exercise addiction, and the underlying internal motivations that drive these behaviors.
The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to gather comprehensive insights into the experiences of university students at UUTH Uyo. A validated questionnaire assesses orthorexic tendencies, exercise addiction levels, and internal motivations for both healthy eating and vigorous physical activity. Additionally, in-depth interviews will be conducted with a subset of participants to delve into the subjective experiences and perceptions surrounding orthorexia and exercise addiction.
The findings will contribute to understanding the prevalence of orthorexic eating behaviors and exercise addiction within the university community. The study will explore potential correlations between these phenomena and assess the impact of internal motivations on driving such behaviors. Additionally, the research aims to identify potential risk factors, protective factors, and coping mechanisms associated with orthorexia and exercise addiction among university students.
The implications of this study extend to health professionals, educators, and policymakers, providing valuable insights for the development of targeted interventions and support mechanisms within university settings. By gaining a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between orthorexia, exercise addiction, and internal motivations, the research aims to contribute to the overall well-being and mental health of university students at UUTH Uyo and potentially inform broader health strategies in educational institutions.
