Method and Subjects: The target population of this
research consists of all Payame Noor students
(male & female) of Golistan province. First, the number of
centers and units of Payam e Noor University, branches
of Golestan and the number of enrolled students at the
separation of their study courses that located in Gorgan
in Golestan province were collected. Then, according to
Odinsky table, the acceptable number of samples was
determined and 415 questionnaires were distributed,
filled out by students and collected.
After the translation of the standard questionnaire
(K Parmenter and J Wardle 1999) [14-17], some questions
were modified according to food and nutrition culture,
consulting some experts to obtain validity and the alpha
Cronbach method was used to obtain reliability. The
reliability analysis yielded Cronbach Alpha values of 0.78
for the knowledge test and 0.74 for the attitude scale. An
institutional ethics review board at University of GuilanIran approved this study.
For pilot research, questionnaire was distributed to
31 students and necessary modifications were done.
The Questionnaire consisted of five parts and first part is
about some personal information about students and their
body composition. The second part contains questions
that measures students’ awareness about the division of
food groups and their ingredients.The third part include
some questions about student’s attitudes toward
nutrition and related diseases. The forth part poses some
questions about choosing the foods and the last part
collects student’s recommendations.
Statistical Analysis: Means, standard deviation and
percents were calculated for the scores from the nutrition
knowledge, attitude and food habits sections. Pearson's
correlation coefficient were used to assess the correlation
between nutrition knowledge, attitude and food habits of
college athletes; and analysis of variations (ANOVA) to
evaluate the nutrition knowledge and attitude between
majors and independent t-test for comparing the
nutrition knowledge and attitude between males and
females. Statistical results were considered to be
significant at p 0.05.
Findings: Mean and standard deviation of height,
weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) of subjects are in
Tables 1&2. The results showed that knowledge
level of Physical Education is highest and Business
Administration is the lowest (Figure 1). One-way ANOVA
show that, there is not a significant difference in the
knowledge level between students of different majors (p
< 0.35; F= 1.118). Also knowledge level of male subjects
was higher than that of female subjects. Attitude level of
physical education with the grade 61 out of 100 is the
highest and psychology with the grade 54.68 out of 100 is
the lowest (Figure 2). One-way ANOVA Also showed that
there is not a significant difference in nutritional attitude
level between other majors (F= 0.958; p< 0.444).
