Abstract

Students will suffer from extreme stress due to unclear learning methods. A restrained eating to control food intake is related to impulsive eating behaviour under stress. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the stress level, restricted eating behaviour, and nutritional status of university students during the hybrid learning condition. This study used a cross-sectional survey of 78 active students from Universitas Negeri Medan in July 2023. Data were collected using a questionnaire with KoboToolbox software. Variables observed in this study were composed of students’ characteristics stress score, restrained eating behaviour score, and BMI score. Data were analysed using the Pearson’s test and linear regression. From the results, most students are in a moderate stress level (75.6%) and more than 30% of the students are in malnutrition condition (under and over nutritional intake). According to the restrained eating behaviour scores, the three behaviours related to restrained eating behavior are ensuring what to eat (2.86 ± 1.24), associating the body weight with the food consumed (2.50 ± 1.41), and consuming less food when the weight gains (2.36 ± 1.18). In the linear regression results, the BMI score is positively correlated with the restrained eating score (p<0.05). As the restrained eating score levels up to 1 point, the BMI score elevates by 2.51. So, the more students perform a restrained eating behavior to lose or maintain weight, the higher BMI score of the students can gain.
