摘要

University students in Hong Kong facing academic stress are prone to engage in emotional eating, that has detrimental physical and psychological effects. Addressing emotional eating through interventions like Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT), which effectively treats clinical eating disorders, is crucial, yet its effectiveness among students remains underexplored. A parallel group randomized controlled trial with 46 students (42 female, 4 male) evaluated the effect of a 10-week MB-EAT intervention, delivered through Zoom, on emotional eating (primary outcome), measured by the Salzburg Emotional Eating Scale at pre-, mid-, and post-intervention, with secondary measures of mood and mindfulness evaluated pre- and post-intervention. Students in the MB-EAT group showed greater reductions in emotional eating and improvements in depression and mindful eating. MB-EAT may offer greater long-term benefits for students with emotional eating by reducing negative psychosocial effects, helping students better cope with stress through emotion regulation and mindful eating skills.
