The study aims to explore the relationship between dieting behaviors, body appreciation, nutritional awareness, and mental well-being.
Conducted a two-phase study with online data collection among voluntary adults.
Phase 1 included a cross-sectional survey of 180 participants measuring various psychological factors.
Phase 2 involved a pilot intervention with 90 participants receiving psychoeducational material on mindful eating.
Body appreciation and nutritional awareness positively associated with mental well-being (p < 0.001).
Increased dieting frequency correlated with lower body appreciation (p < 0.001).
Engagement with psychoeducational material improved nutritional awareness (p = 0.003) and body awareness (p = 0.026).
