“…Data from our study indicated that undergraduates also represent a vulnerable population to food insecurity, with 38.6% experiencing any kind of food insecurity. This value could be even higher if only those students living in campus were studied, as was the case of the study from Araujo et al [15], where food insecurity was present in 84.5% of the students.…”

“…The scale has excellent cost effectiveness and has been used in several studies [15,[26][27][28][29]. Its application and analysis have shown that there are common aspects to the different socio-cultural contexts of food insecurity represented in the scale, including (1) psychological component-anxiety or doubt about future availability of food in the house to meet the needs of residents; (2) food quality-impairment of socially established preferences about food and its variety at home; (3) quantitative reduction of food among adults; (4) quantitative reduction of food among children; and (5) hunger-when someone goes without food all day due to lack of money to buy food [30][31][32].…”

“…Studies consistently showed that university students have higher rates of food insecurity and may be disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic [13,14]. In addition, food insecurity in university students is associated with poorer food quality, poor health, increased risk of chronic diseases, poor mental health, and lower academic performance [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Food insecurity is even more worrisome for a population where stress is highly prevalent because food-insecure university students may face additional challenges that can exacerbate mental distress, such as worrying about grade point averages and balancing school with work and extracurricular activities [21].…”

Undergraduates may face challenges to assure food security, related to economic and mental distress, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to assess food insecurity and its associated factors in undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2020 to February 2021 with 4775 undergraduates from all Brazilian regions. The questionnaire contained socio-economic variables, the validated Brazilian food insecurity scale, and the ESQUADA scale to assess diet quality. The median age of the students was 22.0 years, and 48.0% reported income decreasing with the pandemic. Food insecurity was present in 38.6% of the students, 4.5% with severe food insecurity and 7.7% moderate. Logistic regressions showed students with brown and black skin color/race presented the highest OR for food insecurity; both income and weight increase or reduction during the pandemic was also associated with a higher OR for food insecurity, and better diet quality was associated with decreased OR for food insecurity. Our study showed a considerable presence of food insecurity in undergraduates. Policy for this population must be directed to the most vulnerable: those with brown and black skin color/race, who changed income during the pandemic, and those presented with difficulties maintaining weight and with poor diet quality.

“…Paula e Zimmermann (2021) argumentam que tal situação não é resultado único da pandemia, mas desdobramento da progressiva contenção de investimentos em políticas públicas de proteção social em uma conjuntura de grave crise sanitária, social e econômica. Este quadro impactou sobremaneira os segmentos sociais mais vulneráveis, a exemplo dos universitários atendidos por programas de assistência estudantil (Araújo, Medeiros, Vasconcelos, & Dutra 2021). Desta forma, de acordo com Paula e Zimmermann (2021), torna-se imperativo o resgate do protagonismo do Estado e da priorização de políticas públicas de educação, de proteção social e de mecanismos de distribuição de renda.…”

O presente estudo tem por objetivo caracterizar as repercussões psicoemocionais, os principais estressores e as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas por universitários acompanhados pela assistência estudantil de uma universidade pública durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Além disso, buscou-se investigar quais as dificuldades preponderantes frente às mudanças advindas com o estabelecimento do ensino remoto. A amostra foi constituída por 15 discentes. Utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada e a análise temática de conteúdo, proposta por Bardin. A partir das entrevistas, configurou-se 3 categorias e 6 subcategorias. A totalidade dos universitários apresentou, em diferentes intensidades, repercussões psicoemocionais após a adoção do ensino remoto e das medidas restritivas decorrentes da pandemia. Medo e ansiedade despontaram como emoções prevalentes. Verificou-se agravamento significativo do adoecimento psíquico de discentes que já apresentavam diagnóstico psiquiátrico anterior. Dentre os principais índices estressores, destacaram-se a mudança na rotina e o afastamento da rede socioafetiva. Questões de ordem econômica envolvendo, inclusive, situações de insegurança alimentar também foram mencionadas. A maioria dos estudantes avaliou negativamente o ensino remoto e apontou diversos empecilhos à adaptação deste novo sistema. Eles afirmaram que receber auxílio estudantil, durante a pandemia, influiu positivamente na permanência na universidade. Quanto às estratégias de enfrentamento adotadas para responder aos desafios desencadeados pela pandemia, fizeram parte tanto as focadas no problema quanto as com foco na emoção. Com base nos resultados obtidos, é possível concluir que o contexto da pandemia e do ensino remoto repercutiram negativamente nas vivências e na saúde mental dos estudantes em vulnerabilidade socioeconômica acompanhados pelo PNAES.

“…Thus, evaluating diet quality is important in undergraduates. Also, many university students depend on meals offered by University Restaurants, which had their activities suspended during the COVID-19 lockdowns ( 10 ) The validated diet quality scale (ESQUADA) evaluates diet in a broader context, including the consumption of fresh, minimally processed, and ultra-processed foods and dietary practices (such as cooking, and substituting meals for snacks) ( 11 ). Thus, using this instrument could give important light on assessing diets and policy planning for undergraduates.…”

Diet quality and associated factors in Brazilian undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic

et al. 2023

BackgroundDiet quality is associated with psychobiological, psychological, biological, and physiological factors of individuals, and in the context of prolonged stress, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it can lead to a worsening of the quality of food for undergraduates. This study aimed to analyze diet quality and associated factors in Brazilian undergraduates.MethodsData were collected from 4,799 undergraduate students from all Brazilian regions, from August 2020 to February 2021. The online questionnaire contained socioeconomic variables, the ESQUADA scale to assess diet quality, self-referred changes in weight, the Brazilian food insecurity scale (EBIA), sleep assessment and the perceived stress scale. Unconditional multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to study variables associated with poor and very poor diet quality.ResultsMost of participants presented a good diet quality (51.7%), while 9.8% had a poor or very poor diet quality and only 1.1% had an excellent diet quality. 58.2% of undergraduates reported to have an increase in weight during the pandemic and 74.3% of the students presented elevated stress during the pandemic. Logistic regressions showed students who gained weight during the pandemic presented the highest AOR = 1.56 (95% CI = 1.12–2.20) for poor or very poor diet quality. The elevated perceived stress was also associated with a higher AOR = 2.85 (95% CI = 1.71–4.74) for poor or very poor diet quality.ConclusionMost of the studied undergraduates presented a good diet quality. Nevertheless, poor/very poor diet quality was associated with higher perceived stress and weight gain. Our study indicated that policies should beaimed at the socioeconomically most vulnerable undergraduates, those in a situation of food and nutritional insecurity, high perceived stress, and who gained weight during the pandemic.
