Dietary practices and night shift behavior can often be influenced by multiple factors, increasing exposure to nutritional and health risks. One of the strategies for evaluating the characteristics of eating behavior is the use of scales. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Self-Applied Scale for the Assessment of Food, according to the Recommendations of the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population in a sample of night shift workers. METHOD: methodological study with emphasis on the psychometric evaluation of the Self-Applied Scale for the Assessment of Food, according to the Recommendations of the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population, developed and validated in Brazil, in a sample of night shift workers. The questionnaire used, self-completed by the participants, was composed of sociodemographic, health and work variables; and the Self-Applied Scale for the Assessment of Food, according to the Recommendations of the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population . It consists of 24 questions and investigates the individual’s dietary practices. Four dimensions are in this instrument: food choice (FC), dietary habits (DH), household organization (HO) and planning (PL). RESULTS: 134 individuals from southern Brazil, with a mean age of 38.7±9.4, participated online. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed the evolution of evolution (KMO =0.73; Bartlett’s test, P<0.001). The scale also showed good psychometric properties regarding internal consistency in three of the four dimensions: planning α = 0.73; modes α = 0.75; choices α = 0.81. The organization dimension obtained Cronbach’s alpha α = 0.55. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that this Self-Administered Scale is a valid and reliable instrument to measure feeding behavior in night shift workers.
