Detailed description

This study aims to investigate the relationship between fast food consumption and identity formation among adolescent female university students, with a specific focus on how their dietary choices reflect and shape their self-perceptions. Key research questions include understanding the factors that drive fast food consumption, exploring how these choices influence self-identity, and examining the role of social and cultural dynamics in shaping dietary behavior. The study also seeks to highlight the role of nurses in communicating nutritional knowledge and supporting adolescents in developing healthier eating habits. By examining the psychosocial drivers behind fast food consumption, this research aims to inform public health initiatives and health education strategies that are attuned to the needs and identities of university students. The findings from this study are expected to contribute valuable insights into the relationship between food choices and identity among adolescent women, providing a foundation for health interventions that consider both the social and personal aspects of dietary behavior. Understanding that food choices are intertwined with self-concept, social belonging, and cultural trends can help public health professionals and nurses develop targeted strategies that resonate with the lived experiences of young women. By addressing these factors, universities can implement health policies and education programs that not only encourage healthier dietary habits but also respect and support the identity development of adolescent female students. Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of a holistic approach to health education, where nurses and other healthcare professionals play a proactive role in guiding adolescents toward healthier lifestyle choices in a way that is meaningful, sustainable, and aligned with their values.
