Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between stress, mindfulness, and binge eating in obese people with mediating role of experiential avoidance.
Method: The current research was of quantitative type with correlational method. The statistical population included all overweight and obese people in the city of Karaj in 2019, and 414 people were selected as research samples through convenience sampling method. Data were collected by calculating participants' body mass index, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (Bond et al,2011), Harry's stress questionnaire (2005), five-factor mindfulness questionnaire (Baer et al,2004), and binge eating scale (Gormally et al,1982). Collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling in Amos software.
Results: Stress and mindfulness are known variables in clinical interventions for people with binge eating problems but choosing the strategic and practical variable of experimental avoidance as a mediator between these categories and overeating confirmed these variables' theoretical and practical value. This research highlighted the role of experiential avoidance as a powerful and effective variable in the outcome of individual and social measures in the management and planning to correct overeating behavior in obese people.

Abstract [Persian]

هدف: هدف از این مطالعه بررسی نقش میانجی اجتناب تجربی در رابطه بین استرس، ذهن آگاهی و پرخوری در افراد چاق بود.
روش:‌ پژوهش حاضر از نوع کمی با روش همبستگی بود. جامعه‌ی آماری شامل تمام افراد دارای اضافه وزن و چاقی در شهر کرج در سال 1398 بود، که 414 نفر نمونه به روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب و در پژوهش شرکت کردند. داده ها با استفاده از محاسبه‌ی شاخص توده‌ی بدنی شرکت‌کنندگان و پرسشنامه‌های پذیرش و تعهد(بوند و همکاران،2011)، پرسشنامه استرس هری(2005)، پرسش‌نامه پنج‌عاملی ذهن‌آگاهی(بایر و همکاران،2004) و مقیاس پرخوری بی‌رویه(گورمالی و همکاران،1982)، جمع‌آوری و با استفاده از مدل‌یابی معادلات ساختاری در نرم افزار Amos تحلیل شدند. یافته ها: نتایج مدل یابی معادلات ساختاری حاکی از برازش مدل بود و نشان داد استرس و ذهن‌آگاهی با میانجیگری اجتناب‌تجربی در افراد چاق بر پرخوری اثر غیر مستقیم دارد.
نتیجه گیری: استرس و ذهن آگاهی از متغیرهای شناخته شده در عرصه مداخلات بالینی در رابطه با افراد درگیر با مشکل پرخوری هستند، اما انتخاب متغیر راهبردی و اثرگذار اجتناب تجربی به عنوان واسطه ی بین این مقولات و پرخوری موجب صحه گذاشتن بر ارزش نظری و کاربردی این متغیرها شد. این پژوهش نقش اجتناب تجربی متغیر قدرتمند و اثرگذار در برآیند تدابیر فردی و اجتماعی در جهت مدیریت و برنامه ریزی برای اصلاح رفتار پرخوری در افراد چاق را برجسته کرد
