Resumen

El consumo de tabaco con fines de control del peso constituye una práctica generalizada y nociva entre las personas con sobrepeso u obesidad. El Smoking-Related Weight and Eating Episodes Test (SWEET) evalúa las motivaciones relacionadas con la alimentación y el peso en el consumo de tabaco. El objetivo de este estudio fue validar el SWEET en personas españolas con sobrepeso u obesidad. Adultos que querían participar en un tratamiento para dejar de fumar (N = 123; 54.47% mujeres; MIMC = 31,71 ± 4,27) completaron el SWEET y otras medidas relacionadas con el tabaquismo, el peso, la alimentación, los síntomas emocionales y la actividad física. La fiabilidad y la validez se evaluaron en función de la estructura interna, la consistencia interna y las relaciones con otras variables. El modelo correlacional de cuatro factores mostró un ajuste adecuado tal y como se encontró en el SWEET original. Los coeficientes de fiabilidad evidenciaron una consistencia interna adecuada en las subescalas (α = ,68 - ,88), y las relaciones con otras medidas fueron consistentes, aportando evidencia positiva de validez convergente y discriminante. La aplicación de este instrumento para evaluar las motivaciones relacionadas con la alimentación y el peso en el consumo de tabaco en personas con sobrepeso u obesidad que participan en programas de cesación tabáquica puede contribuir al desarrollo de estrategias de tratamiento más eficaces adaptadas a las necesidades de esta población.
The use of tobacco for the purpose of weight management is a pervasive and detrimental practice among individuals with overweight or obesity. The Smoking-Related Weight and Eating Episodes Test (SWEET) assesses eating- and weight-related motivations for smoking. The goal of this study was to validate the SWEET in Spanish individuals with overweight or obesity. Adults seeking treatment for smoking cessation (N = 123; 54.47% female; MBMI = 31.71 ± 4.27) completed the SWEET and measures related to smoking, weight, eating, emotional symptoms, and physical activity. Reliability and validity were assessed based on internal structure, internal consistency, and relationships with other variables. A four-factor correlated model, as found in the original SWEET, exhibited an adequate fit. The reliability coefficients demonstrated adequate internal consistency across subscales (α = .68 - .88), and the relationships with other measures were consistent, providing positive evidence of convergent and discriminant validity.  The implementation of this valid and reliable instrument to assess eating- and weight-related motivations for smoking in individuals with overweight or obesity undergoing smoking cessation may contribute to the development of more effective treatment strategies tailored to the needs of this population.
