“…FA is usually positively associated with body mass index (BMI) and strongly linked with the presence of binge eating (Long, Blundell, & Finlayson, 2015). Even so, in a recent study, a signi cant but moderate correlation was found between YFAS 2.0 symptom count and BMI, suggesting a nonlinear relation between these two variables (Manzoni et al, 2020). Additionally, the construct of FA can be considered within the context of impulsive behaviors and di culties in emotion regulation, as assessed by the Di culties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004).…”

“…Although the rates of FA may be lower in community samples compared to clinical samples, this form of eating emerges in the general population, including college students (Sengor & Gezer, 2020;Wu, Zimmer, Munn-Chernoff, & Baker, 2020). Furthermore, a recent study suggested that YFAS 2.0 is a good instrument to assess FA in both clinical and general populations (Manzoni et al, 2020). Therefore, it seems relevant to conduct further studies using YFAS 2.0 as an assessment tool of FA in community samples.…”

Purpose The construct of food addiction has been gaining increased attention as a research topic. Currently, the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 is the only measure to operationalize the addictive-like eating behavior according to addiction criteria proposed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The present study aimed at examining the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0, as well as investigating the convergent and divergent validity between this scale and the following measures: Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire, Body Investment Scale, and Di culties in Emotion Regulation Scale. We also sought to explore the moderator role of di culties in emotion regulation in the relationship between food addiction and binge eating. Methods: A sample of 302 female college students (M age = 21.37, SD = 3.24) completed selfreport measures.Results Sixteen (5.3%) participants were diagnosed as having food addiction. The con rmatory factor analysis suggested that the original onedimensional structure is adequate to represent the Portuguese Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0. The symptom count scores of the scale were correlated with body mass index, eating disordered behavior, body investment and di culties in emotion regulation. The severity level of the scale also discriminated the severity of eating disordered behaviors, body investment and di culties in emotion regulation. Finally, the relationship between food addiction and binge eating was moderated by di culties engaging in goal-directed behavior when experiencing negative emotions. ConclusionThe Portuguese version of the Yale Food Addiction Questionnaire 2.0 may be a useful tool to investigate food addiction.

Purpose The construct of food addiction has been gaining increased attention as a research topic. Currently, the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 is the only measure to operationalize the addictive-like eating behavior according to addiction criteria proposed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The present study aimed at examining the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0, as well as investigating the convergent and divergent validity between this scale and the following measures: Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire, Body Investment Scale, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. We also sought to explore the moderator role of difficulties in emotion regulation in the relationship between food addiction and binge eating. Methods: A sample of 302 female college students (Mage = 21.37, SD = 3.24) completed self-report measures.Results Sixteen (5.3%) participants were diagnosed as having food addiction. The confirmatory factor analysis suggested that the original one-dimensional structure is adequate to represent the Portuguese Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0. The symptom count scores of the scale were correlated with body mass index, eating disordered behavior, body investment and difficulties in emotion regulation. The severity level of the scale also discriminated the severity of eating disordered behaviors, body investment and difficulties in emotion regulation. Finally, the relationship between food addiction and binge eating was moderated by difficulties engaging in goal-directed behavior when experiencing negative emotions.Conclusion The Portuguese version of the Yale Food Addiction Questionnaire 2.0 may be a useful tool to investigate food addiction.

“…Third, to confirm the results of the EGA (Chandrasekaran et al, 2012;Costantini et al, 2015;Epskamp et al, 2017), a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed (Christensen and Golino, 2020). Considering the CPI-HP response scale, the diagonally weighted least square (DWLS) estimator was used to perform each CFA (Brown, 2015;Lionetti et al, 2016;Manzoni et al, 2021). The model fit of the factorial structure of the CPI-HP was assessed through the (A) Satorra-Bentler χ 2 (S-Bχ 2 ); (B) root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA); (C) comparative fit index (CFI); and (D) the standard root mean square residual (SRMR) (Muthén, Muthén, 1998van de Schoot et al, 2012;Brown, 2015;Kline, 2016).…”

Psychological Differences Among Healthcare Workers of a Rehabilitation Institute During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Two-Step Study

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: Healthcare workers facing the threatening COVID-19 can experience severe difficulties. Despite the need to evaluate both the psychological distress and positive protective resources, brief and reliable assessment tools are lacking.Aim: Study 1 aimed at developing a new assessment tool to measure psychological distress and esteem in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study 2 aimed to explore and compare the psychological reactions of healthcare workers of the COVID-19 and the non-COVID-19 wards.Methods: In Study 1, psychologists created 25 items based on their clinical experience. A preliminary qualitative evaluation selected the best 15 items for the new tool (CPI-HP) assessing the COVID-19 psychological impact with 2 scales: psychological distress and esteem. The CPI-HP was administered to 110 healthcare professionals to study its psychometric properties and the internal structure with exploratory graph analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Study 2 compared two groups of healthcare professionals of the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 departments.Results: In Study 1, the CPI-HP showed satisfying psychometric properties, and the two-factor structure was confirmed with good fit indices. In Study 2, the two groups of healthcare workers showed comparable levels of psychological distress and resilient coping, but the COVID-19 group displayed significantly higher esteem and appreciation of the experience.Discussion: All operators showed high psychological distress during the emergency, but the COVID-19 group reported higher resources, probably due to stronger group cohesion and greater esteem, perceived meaning, and own work value.Conclusion: Assessing the psychological distress and resources of healthcare professionals with specific tools is important. Psychological interventions should promote their psychological health.
