Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Diets and dietary components can have both protective and deleterious associations with anxiety, stress, low mood and poor mental health and cognitive function. Similarly, the status of emotional and mental health also affects dietary choices and lifestyle habits. This Special Issue welcomes articles that provide insights into the bidirectional relationships between diet quality/patterns, dietary components and cognitive and psychological health and well-being. We hope that this Special Issue will enable us to compile the latest advances to deepen our understanding of how dietary patterns and dietary components (foods and nutrients) exert their effects on cognitive function and mental well-being, as well as elucidating underlying mechanisms, with the aim of identifying effective dietary strategies to improve psychological and physical well-being. We invite you to submit original research (both experimental and observational research) papers, reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses to this Special Issue to broaden our knowledge and open new research directions.

Background/Objectives: The aim of this work was to understand the factors influencing the prevalence of dietary behaviors, as well as determinants of unhealthy eating and diet quality among primary care physicians and nurses in Poland. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 161 doctors and 331 nurses was conducted in the years 2020–2022 in primary healthcare settings. Results: Unhealthy eating habits affected GPs aged 40–54 years (42.9%), females (64.3%), those of normal body weight (67.9%), representing private medical practice (67.9%), who had over 20 years of work experience (42.8%). Similarly, among the group of nurses, unhealthy eating habits were reported in subjects aged 40–54 (46.5%), individuals with normal body weights (49.5%), those with one chronic disease (38.4%), representing public medical practice (63.6%), with over 20 years of work experience (40.4%), seeing ≤100 patients during the work week (84.8%). The univariable logistic regression analyses for unhealthy dietary habits showed that overweight GPs had lower odds of unhealthy eating habits (OR = 0.35; 95% CI: 0.11–1.08; p < 0.05). Among the nurses, the odds of unhealthy eating habits increased with the number of years of work. Nurses with 10–20 years of work experience had 1.23 times greater odds of unhealthy eating habits, while people working for more than 20 years had 1.81 times greater odds of unhealthy eating habits than individuals working for a period shorter than ten years (OR = 1.23; 95% CI: 0.68–2.23; p > 0.05 vs. OR = 1.81; 95% CI: p < 0.05). The multivariable logistic regression analysis did not show statistically significant results. Conclusions: These issues should be addressed when planning educational activities aimed at supporting healthcare professionals in implementing lifestyle changes. Full article
