    DETERMINANTS OF SCIENCE TEACHERS' HEALTHY EATING BEHAVIORS: COMBINING HEALTH BELIEF MODEL AND THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR
    (Sci Methodical Ctr-Sci Educologica, 2021) Ates, Huseyin; Ozdenk, Gulcan Demir; Caliskan, Cuneyt
    This study was conducted to provide a comprehensive understanding of determinants of science teachers' healthy eating intentions and behaviors by combining the health belief model and the theory of planned behavior into one conceptual framework and considering the mediating impact of attitude and intention on behavior. This study was conducted based on cross sectional study design between November 2019 and February 2020. A total of 13 hypotheses were tested and data collected from 563 science teachers in Turkey were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results of the study showed that the proposed model explained the variance in intention and behavior at a more satisfactory level than existing theories. The results also revealed that all of the hypotheses were supported. In addition, the mediating role of attitude and intention in understanding science teachers' healthy eating behaviors was identified. The study can provide important implications for education stakeholders, curriculum developers and science educators.

    Obesity Status of University Employees and Associated Factors: Turkey-2015
    (Istanbul Training & Research Hospital, 2019) Ozdenk, Gulcan Demir; Ozcebe, Lutfiye Hilal
    Introduction: Obesity is a growing public health concern with increasing prevalence in the world. It is aimed to investigate the relationship between socio-demographic features, dietary habits, physical activity level and body mass index (BMI) of the officers and contracted staff between the ages of 18-64 working in administrative units of a university and some factors affecting these relationships. Methods: The population of this cross-sectional study consists of officers and contracted staff working at a university campus. The data were evaluated by using SPSS 20.0 program. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test and three different binary logistic regressions were conducted in the study. Results: The mean age of the employees was 36.4 +/- 8.23 years and 67.4% of the participants were male. Half of the participants had bad dietary habits, 15.8% of the participants were physically active and 68.2% were overweight and obese. Being male and the importance given to health (good and above) were found to be protective factors against the bad dietary habits. Low educational level (1.88) and being married (2.32) were the risk factors for bad dietary habits. Males (2.78), married participants (1.94), participants with good and above importance given to health (1.62) and participants working as a contracted staff (2.68) were found to be physically more active. Being male (2.16), having children (2.32) and being physically active (1.78) were found to be risk factors for overweight and obesity. Conclusion: It was found that there were differences in nutrition, physical activity and obesity among university staff with different social structures. Awareness of BMI values, healthy nutrition and physical activity levels should be increased in the intervention programs aimed at changing the lifestyle of individuals working in different statuses in the society.
