Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze dietary self-efficacy and Nutrition Quotient (NQ) according to the degree of food-related content use in university students. From October to November 2022, a total of 332 college students (140 males and 192 females) attending universities in Chungcheongbuk-do were surveyed to collect data on general information, food-related content use level, dietary self-efficacy, and NQ for adults. The average dietary self-efficacy score of the group that did not use food content was 3.08 points, which was significantly higher than the group that watched it sometimes (2.89 points) and the group that watched it often (2.83 points) (p=0.0191). The total NQ score of 48.85 points was the highest among the three groups (p=0.0270). For subjects who responded that they had no experience of eating food at all after using food content, their dietary self-efficacy was 3.03, which was significantly higher than the group with occasional or frequent food consumption experience (p=0.0194). Results of this study can be used as basic data for clarifying the relationship between the use of food-related content and eating habits in university students and for proper eating habits education for university students.
