RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la viabilidad y aceptación de un programa preventivo de alteraciones alimentarias y obesidad, llamado "StopOBEyTA" con 45 estudiantes universitarios mexicanos. El grupo experimental recibió una intervención de ocho sesiones, dirigida a promocionar los hábitos alimentarios saludables e imagen positiva. El grupo control se dividió en dos subgrupos, uno recibió ocho sesiones dirigidas a mejorar los habitos de estudio y el otro no recibió intervención. Una batería de cuestionarios fueron completados pre, posintervencion y en el seguimiento. Al finalizar el programa, se produjo una reducción en los conductas alimentarias no saludables, una mejora de la autoestima y mayor satisfacción corporal, hubo un descenso en el nivel de perfeccionismo y nivel global de psicopatología en el grupo experimental comparado con los otros dos grupos. Estos cambios se mantuvieron a los tres meses. El programa fue altamente valorado por los participantes, expresaron estar satisfechos y haber aprendido nuevas herramientas para su vida cotidiana. La intervención promete beneficios para la prevención de estas problemáticas, pero requiere replicación con muestras mas amplias
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to examine feasibility and acceptability of a disordered eating and obesity prevention program called "StopOBEyTA" among Mexican university students. A pilot study pre/post- intervention and follow-up with a two-control group was conducted with 45 university students. The experimental group received an intervention of eight sessions, aimed at promoting healthy eating habits and positive body image. The control group was divided, one half of the group received eight sessions directed to improve learning skills, and the other half did not receive any intervention. A battery of questionnaires was completed pre, post-intervention and at three months follow-up. There was a reduction of unhealthy eating behaviors, improved self-esteem and body satisfaction, perfectionism, and overall levels of psychopathology were reduced in the experimental group compared to the other two groups. These changes were maintained at three months follow-up. The program was highly valued by the participants, who expressed their satisfaction and learned new tools for daily life. This intervention promises benefits to prevent these types of pathology, although a replication of results with larger samples is needed
