Kristýna Kopecká Nutriční návyky pacientů léčících se ze závislosti na alkoholu ve vybraných psychiatrických nemocnicích The Nutritional habits of Pacients Recovering From Alcohol Addiction in Selected Psychiatric Hospitals Diplomová práce Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Lenka Čablová PRAHA 2016 Abstract Introduction: Nutritional habits significantly affect the health and quality of life and they are an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Following nutritional recommendations is very important for the general population as well as for people recovering from alcohol dependence. One of the goals of treatment is improving the quality of life and well-balanced diet can actually help. Goals: The main objective of the research is to determine what are the eating habits of people recovering from alcohol dependence during their stay in selected psychiatric hospitals. Another objective is to determine the difference in eating habits of respondents before entering treatment and after entering treatment. The aim is also to describe the relationship between dietary habits and socio-demographic data. It is set as a sub-goal to also map the results of the YFAS questionnaire. Methods and sample: A tool...

Food addiction : a cost-effective treatment proposal within a developing country contextKistenmacher, Ann 01 1900 (has links)
This study explores the possible efficacy of a low carbohydrate and high fat nutritional intervention (LCHF) as a treatment possibility aiming to improve the ability of self-control and regulation in the context of carbohydrate-addiction.
The study first outlines why increased simple carbohydrate consumption has been implicated as a risk-factor in numerous chronic conditions, and then explores the possibility that a reduction of such consumption could lower general medical expenditure in the healthcare sector of already overburdened institutions, especially in developing countries like South Africa. Since the neurobiological evidence for food addiction is compelling, this study investigates the impact of a low carbohydrate and high fat eating (LCHF) regimen by measuring the change in the severity of addictive behaviour in relation to a reduced carbohydrate consumption. Results indicate that a LCHF nutritional intervention lessened addictive behaviour after just 30 days, resulting in a statistically significant decrease in addiction symptoms from day 1 to day 30. The weight and BMI values of the participants recorded at the end of the study showed a reduction from those obtained during the pre- treatment stage, and the self-perceived ‘feeling in control’ also improved in all participants after the intervention.
The introduction of a LCHF nutritional intervention presents a relatively cost-effective treatment and preventative measure to combat carbohydrate over-consumption and its numerous health complications, and it is therefore hoped that the positive findings of this study will foster further research, using larger samples, into this type of nutritional intervention against addictive eating behaviour. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
