目的 将女大学生吃足够水果和蔬菜的已确定过程的使用与她们准备改变的阶段及其水果和蔬菜 (F/V) 摄入量联系起来。 方法 对 18-24 岁女大学生 (n = 236) 进行横断面评估，以评估准备吃 F/V 的阶段。先前在同龄大学生的单独样本中证实的七个过程（健康问题、自我重新评估、社会解放、健康承诺/行动、人际控制、外部强化和帮助关系）的使用与 F/V 的变化阶段和 3 天的饮食摄入量进行了比较。结果在这些年轻的女大学生中，自我重新评估（一种变化的认知过程）的使用在 F/V 的准备阶段达到顶峰。健康承诺/行动（包括反调节在内的行动后过程）的使用在 F/V 的行动/维护中达到顶峰。体重问题与女性过去多吃水果的反调理过程有关。 结论 健康从业者应重点关注这一人群的体重管理、食用水果和蔬菜的外观和健康益处。
Objectives To relate the use of identified processes that college women use to eat enough fruits and enough vegetables to their stages of readiness to change and their fruit and vegetable (F/V) intakes.Method A cross-sectional assessment of college women 18-24 years of age (n = 236) was conducted to assess stage of readiness to eat F/V. Use of seven processes, earlier confirmed in a separate sample of college students the same age (health concerns, self-reevaluation, social liberation, health commitment/action, interpersonal control, external reinforcement and helping relationships) was compared with stage of change for F/V and 3 days of dietary intakes.Results In these young college women, use of self-reevaluation, a cognitive process for change, peaked in the preparation stage for both F/V. Use of health commitment/action, a post-action process including counter-conditioning, peaked in those in action/maintenance for F/V. Weight concerns related to the counter-conditioning processes women used to eat more fruit.Conclusions Health practitioners should focus on weight management, appearance and health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables for this demographic group.
