Introdução: O excesso de peso e a obesidade apresentam, atualmente, uma ameaça crescente à saúde e ao bem-estar dos indivíduos. Estudos sugerem que os parceiros têm um papel importante, demonstrando como o comportamento de um pode influenciar o comportamento do outro na promoção e manutenção da perda de peso. Nesse sentido, a comunicação entre o casal emerge como um dos pilares fundamentais nos esforços para a mudança de comportamento de saúde. Assim, o principal objetivo deste estudo é investigar se os padrões de comunicação (entre o casal) predizem o stress eating (do indivíduo), em adultos com excesso de peso ou obesidade.
Método: Este é um estudo quantitativo que se dirige a adultos da população portuguesa. Os participantes devem encontrar-se num relacionamento de compromisso e apresentar excesso de peso (IMC ≥ 25kg/m2 ) ou obesidade (IMC ≥ 30kg/m2 ). A amostra é composta por 276 participantes, com idades entre os 18 e os 69 anos, e um IMC entre 25,47kg/m2 e os 50, 31kg/m2. Foram utilizadas três escalas que permitiram avaliar as variáveis dependentes e independentes: Escala de Alimentação e Estresse de Salzburg (SSES), a Three Factor Eating
Questionnaire-R21 (TFEQ-R21) e o Questionário de Padrões de comunicação-Versão Curta (QPC-VC).
Resultados: O ajustamento do Modelo de Equações Estruturais apresentou ser adequado à amostra em estudo (RMSEA = 0,059; P(rmsea<0,05) = 0,108; CFI = 0,865; TLI = 0,855; SRMR = 0,063). Variáveis associadas aos padrões de comportamento alimentar, como descontrolo Alimentar (β = -0,231; p = 0,002); e Alimentação Emocional (β = 0,933; p = <0,001), e variáveis associadas a Eventos de Vida Positivos (β = -0,090; p = 0,031) demonstram predizer o Stress Eating. Contudo, os Padrões de Comunicação, em casais, não demonstram predizer o Stress Eating de indivíduos portugueses com excesso de peso ou obesidade.
Discussão: Outras variáveis associadas ao Stress Eating (e.g., alimentação emocional) devem ser estudadas no futuro, uma vez que esta temática se apresenta como bastante atual. O mesmo deve continuar a acontecer com uma linha de investigação associada as variáveis do casal, no que diz respeito a mudanças de comportamentos de saúde dos indivíduos, orientando o estudo para variáveis mais abrangentes.
Introduction: Overweight and obesity currently pose a growing threat to individuals’ health and well-being. Studies suggest the importance of partners, and how one partner’s behavior can influence the other in promoting and maintaining weight loss. In this context, communication between couples is one of the key foundations for efforts aimed at changing health behaviors. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to understand whether communication patterns (between the couple) predict stress eating (in individuals). Method: This is a quantitative study focused on Portuguese population. Participants must be in a committed relationship and have either overweight (BMI ≥ 25kg/m2) or obesity (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2). Three scales were used to assess the dependent and independent variables: Salzburg Eating and Stress Scale (SSES), the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-R21 (TFEQ-R21) and the Communication Patterns Questionnaire-Short Version (QPC-VC ). The sample is made up of 276 participants, aged between 18 and 69 years, and a BMI between 25k.47g/m2 e os 50.31kg/m2 . Results: The adjustment of the Structural Equation Model proved to be adequate for the sample under study (RMSEA = 0.059; P(rmsea<0.05) = 0.108; CFI = 0.865; TLI = 0.855; SRMR = 0.063). Variations associated with eating behavior patterns, such as Uncontrolled Eating (β = - 0.231; p = 0.002); Emotional Eating (β = 0.933; p = <0.001) and variables associated with Positive Life Events (β = -0.090; p = 0.031) demonstrate to predict Stressed Eating. The communication patterns, in couples, do not demonstrate to predict of Stress Eating in Portuguese population with overweight or obese. Discussion: Other variables associated with Stress Eating (e.g. emotional eating) should be studied in the future, as this topic shows to be very current. The same should continue to happen with a line of research associated with couple variables, with regard to changes in individuals' health behaviors.
