Abstract

Stress can be experienced by anyone, including early adult individuals. The many demands to fulfil developmental tasks as an early adult individual can also lead to varying level of stress, leading to health problems such as reluctance to eat or overeating to lead to eating disorders. People with eating disorders use food and diet as a way to deal with problems in life. This study aims to determine the relationship between level of stress and risk of eating disorders symptoms in early adult individuals. This type of research is a quantitative research design with correlational research involving 172 participants with a sampling technique using nonprobability sampling, namely purposive sampling. Data collection using google form online questionnaire and data processing using SPSS version 24 for windows program. The assumption test using the One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov, obtained a significance value on the stress level variable, that is 0.019, p < 0.05 with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z value = 0.075 and the significance value for the risk of eating disorder symptoms variable, that is 0.002, p < 0.05 with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z value = 0.089 so the data is not normally distributed. Data analysis used Spearman Correlation and different test using Kruskal-Wallis Test because the data proved not normally distributed. The results showed a significant relationship between level of stress and risk of eating disorders symptoms with a significance value of 0.000, p < 0.05 with r = 0.511 so that the hypothesis is accepted.
