Hubungan Kebiasaan Mendengarkan Musik, Stres Akademik, dan Emotional Eating dengan Asupan Mahasiswa

Abstract

Mahasiswa tahun pertama rentan mengalami stres akademik yang memicu emotional eating dan memengaruhi asupan. Musik menjadi salah satu strategi koping nonfarmakologis untuk menurunkan stres. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan kebiasaan mendengarkan musik, stres akademik, dan emotional eating dengan asupan mahasiswa tahun pertama IPB University. Penelitian dilakukan secara cross-sectional pada 85 mahasiswa yang dipilih secara random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui Music Preference Questionnaire, Perception of Academic Stress Scale, Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire-Emotional, dan food recall 2×24 jam. Hasil analisis menunjukkan jenis kelamin berhubungan signifikan dengan stres akademik (p=0,007), serta uang saku berhubungan negatif signifikan dengan asupan energi (p=0,049), sedangkan durasi mendengarkan musik, stres akademik, dan emotional eating tidak berhubungan signifikan satu sama lain maupun dengan asupan zat gizi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa stres akademik pada mahasiswa tahun pertama lebih dipengaruhi oleh faktor jenis kelamin dibandingkan kebiasaan mendengarkan musik, sehingga diperlukan pendekatan yang lebih komprehensif dalam memahami hubungan antara musik, stres, dan pola makan mahasiswa.

First-year college students are prone to academic stress, which can trigger emotional eating and affect their food intake. Music is one non-pharmacological coping strategy for reducing stress. This study aims to analyze the relationship between music listening habits, academic stress, and emotional eating with the dietary intake of first-year students at IPB University. The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study involving 85 students selected via random sampling. Data were collected using the Music Preference Questionnaire, the Perception of Academic Stress Scale, the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire-Emotional, and a 2×24-hour food recall. The results showed that gender was significantly associated with academic stress (p=0.007), and that pocket money was significantly and negatively associated with energy intake (p=0.049), while the duration of music listening, academic stress, and emotional eating were not significantly associated with one another or with nutrient intake. These findings indicate that academic stress among first-year students is more influenced by gender than by music listening habits, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive approach to understanding the relationship between music, stress, and students' dietary patterns.
