Psychological barriers to proper nutrition -
One participant particularly noticed the negative impact of moving out of home on their healthy eating, physical activity and mental health:. And that helps — Interview Participant 3. However, all participants in the interviews and focus group expressed that headspace could have a stronger role in supporting healthy eating and physical activity.
Most participants felt it would be helpful for headspace staff to be proactive in raising the topics as part of sessions, rather than the young person having to raise the topic. Participants felt that headspace staff could offer useful resources, facilitate referrals to health professionals, provide information on sports options and offer a personal link to these.
I had my therapist appointment this morning and we were talking about how my unhealthy eating was impacting me. When participants reflected on their past experiences of accessing support at headspace, most acknowledged that receptivity to conversations initiated about healthy eating and physical activity during sessions would vary due to individual needs, maturity levels, priorities for attending sessions and motivation.
My food knowledge has drastically increased and through going to headspace and talking to my counsellor there — Interview Participant 2. Most participants expressed enthusiasm for the idea of accessing a dietitian or exercise physiologist through headspace , but were concerned about the barriers to this service, such as cost.
This novel study comprehensively assessed nutrition and physical activity behaviors and knowledge, the main barriers and enablers to achieving recommendations and the preferred sources of support among a sample of young people attending a mental health service in regional Australia.
Our results suggest that most young people in our study were knowledgeable about how their behavior compared to Australian Government diet and physical activity recommendations and understood the role of diet and physical activity for maintaining their mental health.
However, participants reported poor nutrition and physical activity behaviors and experienced substantial barriers towards achieving recommendations.
While support for improving nutrition and physical activity behaviors from reputable providers including health professionals was seen as a priority, most participants indicated they wanted to receive these messages through social media channels.
Our results point to a clear opportunity to improve nutrition and physical activity behaviors in this vulnerable group, which could enhance both mental and physical health outcomes across their lifespan [ 46 ].
The poor dietary behaviors in our study sample are similar to results from previous studies in a large sample of young people in Australia who consumed very low levels of fruit and vegetables [ 47 ] and had a high consumption of takeaway foods and drinks with added sugar [ 48 ].
Critically, these foods may be displacing nutrient-rich alternatives if consumed too frequently, leading to poor outcomes for both physical and mental health [ 48 ]. In our study, most participants reported either skipping or not eating breakfast on a regular basis.
Indeed, a greater frequency of skipping breakfast is associated with a higher probability of experiencing depressive symptoms [ 50 ], and young people who consume breakfast have better mental health [ 51 ], indicating that this is a potential area of action for this group.
Walking was the most commonly reported type of physical activity, which is dissimilar to the organized sport preferences of younger Australian children [ 53 ].
Walking is generally considered to be a low-intensity physical activity, which has shown to lack the benefits of moderate or vigorous intensity physical activity for supporting cognitive and mental health measures in young people [ 54 ].
In our study, most participants were aware of how their diet and physical activity compared with public health recommendations, however, substantial barriers in achieving positive behavior changes were reported.
While Australian data shows that healthy diets can be more affordable than current unhealthy diets [ 56 ], research also shows that healthy diets are still unaffordable for some low-socioeconomic groups [ 57 ]. Given more than a third of our survey sample were receiving government financial assistance, financial and physical access to healthy food and opportunities appears to be a major issue in this group.
Our results highlight that in addition to challenges to changing health behaviors in young people in general, for those with poor mental health, barriers are amplified. Our results are similar to other research that shows improving body image, physical health and weight were amongst the top enabling factors for improving diet and physical activity in young people [ 59 ].
In one study in young men, those reporting they experienced greater stress were significantly more likely to rank mental health as a key motivator compared to those experiencing lesser symptoms of stress [ 59 ]. Given the relationship between all these factors and mental health in young people, strategies that improve physical activity and nutrition could promote positive weight and body image outcomes in addition to highlighting the benefits to mental wellbeing could be applied in this group.
Such strategies, based on self-determination theory, that focus on promoting autonomous self-regulatory behavior have been previously demonstrated as effective [ 60 ]. The young people in our study reported wanting to receive health-related nutrition and physical activity support from various, qualified health professionals.
This aligns with research that suggests that young people desire reliable and quality health care information [ 61 ], however in our study, young people commonly reported wanting to receive this information through social media channels.
This finding was also confirmed in other Australian research, which was related to the assumed anonymity and privacy that social media offers [ 62 ], in addition to online health information being readily available [ 63 ].
Young people commonly search health related information through online sources [ 64 ]. In our study, the interview and focus group participants expressed concern about how health information can be confusing and misleading when accessed online, particularly when paid advertisements filled their social media.
As such, they expressed a desire for trusted health professionals to deliver the information, or to help them make sense of the information they find online. In addition, young people reported that talking face-to-face was important to them, highlighting that conversations with trusted providers, such as mental health services remain relevant to young people.
Given how widely social media is accessed by young Australians, it is important to explore further how this could be an effective tool for nutrition and physical activity support in young people with mental health issues.
Peer-to-peer support using digital technologies is a preferred method for young people with mental health concerns to promote positive health behaviors [ 65 ].
Congruent with self determination theory [ 66 ], previous health promotion programs have demonstrated the importance of social connectedness and peer support in generating positive behavior change outcomes. In our study, it was identified that the mental health service was among the top three preferred providers of nutrition and physical activity information, and that some conversations towards diet and physical activity had occurred already for some young people during sessions at headspace.
However, given the priority focus on mental health, time pressure and lack of specialization of mental health counsellors in this field it is likely that these were limited to general comments about nutrition and physical activity for wellbeing, and referrals to professional services.
While some preliminary evidence of the acceptability of an exercise program in young people attending a youth mental health service has been published [ 67 ], embedding this approach into standard psychological treatment for young people should be considered.
Improving access for young people to receive nutrition and physical activity interventions may promote their knowledge and confidence, addressing the competency aspect of behavior change [ 66 ].
Integrating support for improving nutrition and physical activity behaviors into current counselling sessions may also be preferable to specialized programs, as it has previously been shown that consumer financial status and other responsibilities can influence program access and attendance in people with mental health issues [ 68 ].
This study has a number of strengths including presenting detailed information about a range of factors impacting nutrition and physical activity behaviors in young people attending a youth mental health service that can be used to directly inform strategies to support young people.
Despite this, limitations of this study are recognised. First, the study is limited by a small sample size due to recruitment challenges and project timeline constraints, which may reduce the power of the study and increase the margin of error.
The convenience sampling utilized limits the transferability of the research. Additionally, the use of paid advertisement on social media to increase response rates means that researchers cannot be certain that all participants met the eligibility criteria, as this was self-reported.
The use of the three screening questions for consent impacted the number of young people accessing the survey. Some survey questions were adapted from validated measures, such as The International Physical Activity Questionnaire [ 69 ], however most survey questions developed for the purpose of this study to be as simple as possible for this population group, regardless of validation, which might contribute to measurement error in this study.
While our study selected appropriate, low literacy questions for screening participants for dietary behaviors to increase engagement, a more comprehensive assessment of diet using validated tools, such as a food frequency questionnaire, should be a priority for future research to more accurately quantify dietary patterns in this at-risk group.
Finally, the study was conducted throughout the COVID pandemic, resulting in delays and limited access to the mental health service at the height of lockdowns.
During the study, Tasmania had not had any transmission of COVID. However, it is possible these contextual factors may still have influenced the findings. Our study, conducted in a sample of young people attending a regional youth mental health service, indicates that most young people are knowledgeable about how their behaviors compare to Australian government nutrition and physical activity recommendations and understand their role in maintaining their mental health.
However, both diet and physical activity behaviors in this group were poor and there are substantial barriers to achieving these recommendations including poor mental health. Our results indicate that young people would prefer support for reputable information and advice to be communicated through social media.
Given the results from this study, which highlights the large scale of poor diet and physical activity behaviors in youth mental health settings, it can be recommended that health professionals be commissioned to either produce or review materials to ensure young people have access to credible and accurate information and support.
Understanding the complexities of behavior change from a self-determination perspective may also enhance the efficacy of interventions within the youth mental health context. There is an increasing awareness of the importance of dietitians and exercise physiologists in standard care.
Further research is still required into how mental health care plans can be extended beyond just psychologists to also include appointments with other allied health professionals, given the increasing importance of multidisciplinary support in the maintenance of good mental health in young people.
Additionally, future research should focus on how to best implement lifestyle interventions that improve nutrition and physical activity behaviors to support mental health outcomes in young people attending mental health services.

With regard to the relationship between knowledge and awareness of eating habits, studies reveal different results. Other studies showed that students with more knowledge of the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables are more careful to include these foods in their diets [ 18 , 23 ]. Existing data show that there is an increasing tendency among Iranian children and adolescents toward Western dietary patterns that are largely defined by the consumption of high calorie snacks and fast foods [ 27 ]. Results of this study also showed low income as an important factor that could affect food choices among Iranian families. The relatively low cost of fast foods and high calorie snacks has made these foods more easily accessible to Iranian people [ 1 ]. Previous studies have similarly found cost to be one of the most important barriers to dietary adherence [ 29 ]. Existing data show that over the last two decades nutritional transition in Iran has been influenced by rising food prices [ 1 ]. However current findings imply that unhealthy diet is not entirely an income-driven issue; time limitations to the preparation of healthy food is noteworthy, particularly for working mothers, as is a lack of access to educational programs providing instructions for preparation healthy meal. Several studies report findings similar to ours [ 30 — 33 ]. In this study food preference, including personal taste and preferences of other family members was considered a barrier to healthy nutrition. Consistent with our findings, preferences of family members were among the most prominent barrier to implementing healthy dietary changes among immigrant Pakistani women [ 34 ]. Variety in sampling was an advantage of the current study. Participants of the study belonged to different socio-economical backgrounds and different occupation groups. Voluntary participation made room for exclusion of the experiences of those who did not wish to participate in the study for any reason. Also, all participants were selected from an urban community. Therefore our findings do not reflect barriers to healthy nutrition in rural communities. Complementary studies are recommended in these areas. Results from this study have indicated barriers to healthy nutrition as perceived by a group of Eastern-Mediterranean women, participants of the Tehran Lipid Glucose Study. Implementation of effective educational programs to increase public nutritional knowledge and appropriate policy-making seem prerequisite to establishing healthy eating patterns among Iranian families. Findings of the current study may help in the designing of healthy nutrition programs in the future by providing a realistic perspective of the current situation.

Being prepared for them and having a plan to deal with them is important to your success. Research shows that if you see your lapse as a mistake and as a result of an external trigger, rather than as an individual failure, you will have a much better chance of return on a healthy track quicker. Slowly and steadily add more healthy changes until you're back on track. Open up your protocol and recommendation given to you by your therapist and review them frequently.
