Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that the present intervention will contribute to the improvement of the eating behavior of adult women, especially the awareness of the eating experience and the enhancement of body signals. Thus, it seeks to mitigate vulnerability in environmental situations that promote greater food consumption. The methods used for primary outcomes are 1) characterization questionnaire (age, family income, education, medication use, body weight, height and body mass index); (2) assessment of perception, appreciation and meaning attributed to bodily sensations in different eating situations through discursive questions; (3) assessment of perception and relationship with food through the production of descriptive text after eating a snack consisting of coffee, crackers and a slice of orange cake; (4) assessment of interoceptive sensitivity and (5) assessment of eating behavior through the application of the Three Fact Eating Questionnaire and the Intuitive Eating Questionnaire. These will be checked: the variables weight, BMI, questionnaire scores and interoceptive sensitivity scores will undergo descriptive analysis, followed by the Shapiro-Wilk test to assess normality and the Mann-Whitney test (non-parametric variables) or t-Student (parametric variables) for comparison between times. The level of significance will be 0.05. The discursive questions, the descriptive text of the food and the content of the interviews will be analyzed through content analysis - thematic modality, following the procedure described by Braun and Clarke.
