Objective

To investigate the current status of emotional eating behaviors during pregnancy, construct a network model to analyze symptoms and influencing factors, and provide targets for precision intervention.

Methods

Pregnant women were recruited from a maternal and child health hospital in Ningxia using convenience sampling. Emotional eating behaviors were measured using the revised Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ). The symptom network of emotional eating behaviors and its relationship with influencing factors were analyzed using the “bootnet” package in R 4.4.3.

Results

The mean score of emotional eating behaviors in pregnant women was 19.82±7.68. “Craving food when disappointed” was the core symptom, with the strongest association observed between “craving food when disappointed” and “craving food when fearful” (edge weight=0.48). In the influencing factor network, the restrictive eating behavior cluster showed the strongest association with the emotional eating behavior cluster (mean edge=0.05), while psychological resilience exhibited a negative correlation with “craving food when fearful” (edge=-0.05). Within the restrictive-emotional eating behavior network, “considering the relationship between body weight and food” and “craving food when bored” demonstrated the strongest connections (edge=0.09).

Conclusion

The core symptom of emotional eating in pregnant women is “eating when disappointed”. Eating behaviors triggered by fear and goal frustration, as well as cognition about the relationship between body weight and food, are key influencing factors.
