The aim of this study is to examine the effect of eating disorders on occupational balance in university students. Occupational balance levels will be compared in university students with and without eating disorders. The study will be finalized with the voluntary participation of 105 university students for both groups and 210 university students in total. The relationship between eating disorder tendencies and occupational balance in university students will be examined.

The population of the study will consist of voluntary students between the ages of 18-25 who continue their university education. In the power analysis performed to determine the sample size, it was determined in the G*Power program, with 95% power (alpha = .05, two-way), the effect size was taken as Cohen's d = 0.5 by the guidelines provided by J. Cohen, and it was determined that at least 105 people in each group and 210 people in total were needed for the independent sample t-test.

Inclusion criteria:

• Volunteering to participate in the study,
• To be able to read and write Turkish,
• To be between the ages of 18-25 and studying at undergraduate level

Exclusion criteria:

• Any disability,
• Presence of a chronic disease

Individuals who volunteered to participate in the study will be evaluated with data collection forms filled in through questionnaires. Demographic information about the individuals (such as class, department, age, and gender) will be obtained with the sociodemographic information form. Data collection tools will be used by the researchers in face-to-face interviews with the participants and the data will be recorded anonymously.

It will be determined whether the participants have an eating disorder according to the results of the SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale. Participants with eating disorders will constitute the research group and participants without eating disorders will constitute the control group. Both groups will complete the Occupational Balance Questionnaire and their occupational balances will be compared. The study was planned to be terminated when there were at least 105 participants in each of the research and control groups for the endpoint.
