 Giriş: Bu çalışmada obezitenin özerklik Ö, ÖSİ Özerkliğe Saygı İlkesi ve YK Yaşam Kalitesi üzerindeki etkisi, başka bir ifade ile obez hastalar ile obez olmayan bireylerin özerklik, ÖSİ ve YK bakımından farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Veriler Türkiyenin bir ili olan Eskişehirde kamu kurum ve kuruluşlarındaki Beslenme ve Diyet polikliniklerinden toplanmıştır. Çalışmaya 354ü vaka, 354ü kontrol grubundan olmak üzere 708 gönüllü katılmıştır. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik özelliklerin, özerklik ve ÖSİne ilişkin soruların yer aldığı anket formu ve Obezlere Özgü Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği OÖYKÖ uygulanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı analizler yapılmış, Kruskal Wallis H, Mann Whitney U, ki-kare bağımsızlık testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Obezite ile OÖYKÖ skoru arasında istatistiksel olarak kontrol grubu lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur p0.001. OÖYKÖ skoru açısından görüş ve düşüncelerini rahatlıkla açıklayabildiğini ve açıklayamadığını ifade eden obez hastalar arasında açıklayabilenler lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur p0.001. Sonuç: Obez olmayan bireylerin daha iyi yaşam kalitesine sahip olduğu; obezitenin, hastaların özerk olmalarını, kendilerini özgür ve bağımsız hissetmelerini etkilemediği; özerk seçim yapmalarını, eylem özerkliklerini ve düşünce özerkliklerini olumsuz etkilediği; birey özerkliklerini, istek özerkliklerini ve ÖSİni benimsemelerini olumlu etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır.
