Amaç: Bu çalışma sağlık eğitimi alan üniversite öğrencilerinde duygusal yeme ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacı ile kesitsel olarak yapılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın verileri Ekim 2017-Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini bir üniversitenin sağlık eğitimi veren hemşirelik ve ebelik bölümüöğrencisi toplam 749 kişi oluşturmuştur. Veriler duygusal yemeyi etkileyeceği düşünülen anket formu ve Duygusal Yeme Ölçeği (DYÖ) ile toplanmıştır.Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalamalarının 20,63±1,73, %80,9’unun kadın olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin Duygusal Yeme Ölçeği puan ortalamalarını; kadın cinsiyetindeolma (MWU=26171,500, p=0,000), anne eğitim düzeyinin lise ve üzerinde olması (KW=9,804, p=0,020) ve odada tek başına kalmanın (MWU=53154,000, p=0,018) etkilediğigörülmektedir. Öğrencilerin olumsuz duygular yaşamasının (MWU=41377,000, p=0,000) duygusal yemeyi arttırdığı bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin yediklerinin miktarını sınırlamaktasorun yaşamaları (MWU=30055,000, p=0,000), aç olmadıkları halde yemek yeme atağı geçirmeleri (MWU=33197,500, p=0,000), uykuyu ertelemek için gece geç saatlerde yemekyemeleri (MWU=37189,500, p=0,000), doyduktan sonra yemek yemeye devam etmeleri (MWU=43409,500, p=0,000), anlık ve dürtüsel yemek yemeleri (MWU=42097,500, p=0,000),yemek yerken duygularının kendisini yönlendirmesi (MWU=33343,500, p=0,000), kilo alıp vermenin ruhsal durumuna etkisinin olması (MWU=33097,500, p=0,000), duygusal yemenedeni ile sağlık profesyoneline başvurması (MWU=17569,500, p=0,000) ve gizli gizli yemek yemesi (MWU=30653,500, p=0,000) duygusal yemeyi etkilemektedir.Sonuç: Öğrencilerin duygusal yemesine neden olan faktörlerin çoğunlukla kadın cinsiyetinde olmalarının ve olumsuz duygular yaşamalarının neden olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda öğrencilere problem çözme becerilerinin ve stresle baş etme tekniklerinin öğretilmesi uygun olacaktır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Sağlık eğitimi, öğrenci, duygusal yeme, etkileyen faktör.AbstractObjective: This cross-sectional study aims to determine emotional eating and affecting factors in university students in health education.Material and Method: Study data were collected between October 2017 and December 2017. The study sample consisted of 749 students in the nursing and midwifery departmentof a university. Data were collected using a questionnaire form on emotional eating and Emotional Eating Scale (EES).

Negativeemotions seemed to increase emotional eating in students (MWU=41377.000, p=0.000). Experiencing problems in controlling the amount of food they eat (MWU=30055.000,p=0.000), eating without being hungry (MWU=33197.500; p=0.000), eating late at night to delay sleep (MWU=37189.500, p=0.000), continuing eating even after feeling full(MWU=43409.500, p=0.000), spontaneous and impulsive eating (MWU=42097.500, p=0.000), letting emotions control them while eating (MWU=33343.500, p=0.000), beingmentally affected by weight loss and gain (MWU=33097.500, p=0.000), consulting a healthcare professional for emotional eating (MWU=17569.500, p=0.000), and eating insecret (MWU=30653.500, p=0.000) have an effect on emotional eating. Conclusion: Factors affecting emotional eating in students are mostly being a woman and having negative emotions.

Negative emotions seemed to increase emotional eating in students (MWU=41377.000; p=0.000). Students prefer sweet food (candies, chocolate etc.) (MWU=41028.500; p=0.000), unhealthy snacks (crisps etc.) (MWU=51064.000; p=0.000) and fast food (hamburger, pizza) (MWU=42297.500; p=0.000) for emotional eating.
