Özet:

 Aim: Understanding emotional eating nuances in Bipolar Disorder BD is crucial for developing targeted interventions to effectively manage mental health and nutritional needs. This study aims to explore the relationship between BD with emotional eating behavior, as well as the disparities between self-reported appetite tendencies and objective measurements. Method: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with 43 patients diagnosed with BD. The Information Form, Bipolar Depression Rating Scale BDRS, Bipolar Disorder Functioning Questionnaire BDFQ and Emotional Eating Scale EES were administered through face-to-face interviews. Results: Of the 43 BD patients, 58.1 were male, with a mean age of 26.9310.29 years and a mean body mass index BMI of 25.016.06 kgm2. Gender, age, BMI, physical activity, or sleep duration were not significant factors for EES sub-dimensions in BD patients p0.05. BD patients self-reported less eating tendency during negative emotions such as anxiety and depression and a higher tendency to eat during positive emotions like happiness. However, contrary to these self-reports, according to the BDRS, mixed symptoms manic episodes were positively correlated with Control Against Stimuli p0.003 and Eating when Nervous was positively correlated with both somatic p0.002 and psychological depression p0.005. Conclusion: This study highlights differences between self-reported and objective assessments of eating behaviors in BD patients. While patients reported reduced food intake during negative emotions and increased intake during positive ones, objective measures showed contrasting results. These findings emphasize the importance of using objective methods to assess eating behaviors linked to emotional states in individuals with bipolar disorder.

 Amaç: Bipolar Bozuklukta BB duygusal yeme davranışlarının incelenmesi, ruh sağlığı ve beslenme ihtiyaçlarını etkili bir şekilde yönetmek için hedefe yönelik müdahaleler geliştirmek açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışma, BB ile duygusal yeme davranışı arasındaki ilişkiyi ve öz-bildirim ile nesnel ölçümler arasındaki farklılıkları araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu çalışma, BB tanısı almış 43 hasta ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bilgi Formu, Bipolar Depresyon Derecelendirme Ölçeği BDDÖ, Bipolar Bozukluk İşlevsellik Ölçeği BBİÖ ve Duygusal Yeme Ölçeği DYÖ yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 43 BB hastasının 58,1i erkek olup, yaş ortalaması 26,9310,29 yıl ve Beden Kütle İndeksi BKİ ortalaması 25,016,06 kgm²dir. Cinsiyet, yaş, BKİ, fiziksel aktivite veya uyku süresi, BB hastalarında DYÖ ve alt boyutları için ayırt edici faktörlerden değildir p0,05. BB hastaları, kaygı ve depresyon gibi olumsuz duygular esnasında daha az yeme eğiliminde olduklarını ve mutluluk gibi olumlu duygular esnasında ise daha fazla yeme eğiliminde olduklarını beyan etmişlerdir. Ancak bu öz-bildirimlerin aksine, BDDÖye göre karma belirtiler manik dönemler Uyaran Karşısında Kontrol ile pozitif korelasyon göstermiştir p0,003 ve Gerginlik Durumlarında Yeme hem somatik depresif belirtiler p0,002 hem de psikolojik depresif belirtiler p0,005 ile pozitif korelasyon göstermiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, BB hastalarında yeme davranışlarının öz-bildirim değerlendirmeleri ile objektif değerlendirmeler arasındaki farklılıkları vurgulamaktadır. BB hastaları olumsuz duygular sırasında yeme eğilimlerinin azaldığını ve olumlu duygular sırasında yeme eğilimlerinin arttığını beyan etmiş olsalar da, nesnel ölçümler bu öz-bildirimlerin aksini göstermiştir. Bu bulgular, bipolar bozukluğu olan bireylerde duygusal durumlarla ilişkili yeme davranışlarını değerlendirmek için objektif yöntemlerin kullanılmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır.
