Research Article: A Cross-Sectional Study Exploring the Relationship Between BMI and Nursing Students’ Emotional Well-Being During the COVID- Pandemic

Date Published: 2023-09-14

Abstract:
Over time, it has been discovered that being overweight or obese is linked to behavioral, social, and increasing intake of calorie-dense foods such as fast food. This is frequently seen as aggravating multiple factors, including biological, economic, and social problems. The weight problems have resulted in emotional distress, especially among students, as they are particularly vulnerable to high prevalence rates of both issues. Due to its detrimental effects on society, COVID-’s emergence as a pandemic has the potential to dramatically affect these issues. Since the pandemic was not fully recognized, COVID- has had a particularly negative impact on public health policy as well as crippled numerous healthcare delivery systems globally. The COVID- pandemic has also had an impact on nursing practice and research, with students experiencing more stress in their classrooms. As the predominance of anxiety may lead to compulsive overeating and the inability to control one’s appetite, psychological stress can significantly contribute to obesity or weight gain. Overweight causes behavioral and emotional changes due to the subsequent environmental interactions that affect the individual’s well-being. Further, BMI is frequently a sign of issues with weight, including underweight, overweight, obesity, mental stress, and physical and psychological difficulties. As the main objective of this study, we intend to lay the groundwork for further research on the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and emotional distress among nursing students in a more extensive study population, as well as the potential impact of pandemics like COVID- on these relationships.
