“…The term ‘motivation’ refers to internal or external factors that affect people to make dietary choices that improve their physical and emotional well-being. Personal beliefs, dietary expertise, a desire for physical well-being, or external constraints like society conventions or professional medical advice can all contribute to this motivation [ 15 ]. People with intrinsic motivation are said to produce better results, have higher levels of interest and confidence, and experience better overall health outcomes, including improved metabolic health, weight maintenance, and body satisfaction, in comparison to those who are externally controlled for an action [ 15 ].…”

“…The Motivation for Healthy Eating Scale (MHES) includes 31 items and consists of 6 subscales: intrinsic motivation with 5 items, integrated motivation with 5 items, identified regulation with 5 items, introjected regulation with 5 items, external regulation with 6 items, amotivation with 5 items [ 15 ]. Each item was rated on a 7-point scale, ranging from 1 (Does not correspond at all) to 7 (Corresponds very well), with higher scores indicating higher motivation to healthy eating.…”

“…To adopt and maintain the IE lifestyle, motivation is the key; it can be a powerful tool to inspire healthier eating habits, and is an important factor in developing the necessary skills to practice IE [ 14 ]. In the context of motivation, both internal and external factors can act as motivators [ 15 ]. The benefits of eating a healthy, balanced diet include lowering the risk of developing chronic diseases (like diabetes and heart disease), boosting energy, promoting vitality, as well as improving the mental health of the individual by reducing the symptoms of anxiety and depression [ 16 ].…”

Objective Intuitive eating is an eating behavior that has recently come to use mainly in the young population. Knowing that the Lebanese cultural diet differs from other countries, the purpose of this study was to investigate if there is a relationship between self-esteem, interoceptive awareness, and motivation for healthy eating in a sample of Lebanese adults using a Latent Profile Analysis approach. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Lebanese governorates. Participants 359 Lebanese participants enrolled in this study (mean age: 22.75 ± 7.04 years, 40.1% males), through convenience sampling in several Lebanese governorates. Participants were asked to fill anonymously the following scales: The Intuitive Eating Scale (IES-2), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness Scale (MAIA), and the Motivation for Healthy Eating Scale (MHES). Results Our findings revealed four profiles: profile 1 (n = 67; 18.66%) characterized by high SE and intermediate interoceptive awareness and motivation for healthy eating; profile 2 (n = 86; 23.97%) presented high SE, interoceptive awareness, and motivation for healthy eating; profile 3 (n = 86; 23.96%) characterized by high SE, interoceptive awareness, and motivation for healthy eating; class 4 (n = 108; 30.08) described by low SE, intermediate interoceptive awareness, and motivation for healthy eating One-way analysis of variance did not observe a significant difference between the four profiles based on intuitive eating (F = 1.810; p = 0.145; ɳp2 = 0.015). Conclusions Among a sample of Lebanese people, four profiles of interoceptive awareness, motivation for healthy eating, and self-esteem were observed, with no difference concerning intuitive eating.

“…This instrument should possess rationality, simplicity, and convenience in its application. Addressing this requirement, Kato et al ( 2021 ) developed and adapted the Motivation for Healthy Eating Scale (MHES), which allows for the assessment of motivation and the measurement of various types of regulation of eating behaviors. However, such an instrument has not yet been validated for ACS patients in Thailand.…”

Background: Motivation plays a crucial role in lifestyle modifications for disease control and preventing recurrent cardiac events. Higher motivation levels are associated with improved health outcomes, including adherence to a healthy diet and sustained behavior change. However, there is a lack of evaluation of instruments for assessing motivation to adhere to diet recommendations, specifically among patients in Thailand. Objective: This study aimed to assess the psychometric validity of the Thai version of the Motivation for Healthy Eating Scale (MHES) in patients with acute coronary syndrome in Thailand. Methods: The study was conducted between May and August 2022, involving 200 patients with acute coronary syndrome selected through multistage random sampling from tertiary care institutions in Bangkok, Thailand. The scale was translated from English to Thai using the back-translation method. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cronbach's alpha were employed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the scale. Results: The Thai version of the MHES demonstrated satisfactory reliability with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.73. The analysis revealed four factors consisting of 16 items: 1) ‘integrated and integrated regulation’ with seven items, 2) ‘intrinsic and external regulation’ with three items, 3) ‘introjected regulation’ with three items, and 4) ‘amotivation’ with three items. These factors collectively explained 66.78% of the total variance. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the Thai version of the MHES is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing motivation related to dietary behavior among Thai patients with acute coronary syndrome. Nurses and healthcare professionals can use this scale to evaluate the motivation of dietary behavior among this population, thereby facilitating targeted interventions and promoting positive health outcomes.
