ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the characteristics of instruments to assess eating self-efficacy in overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Methods: Integrative literature review, conducted in May 2020, in six databases (PubMed; Web of Science; Scopus; CINAHL, ADOLEC, and PsycINFO) with the following search strategy: Self-efficacy and (Overweight OR Obesity) and (Child* OR Adolescent). Results: The inclusion of thirty-five articles and twenty-one instruments was applied to children 6 to 9 years old (n=2), adolescents 10 to 19 years old (n=9), and children and adolescents 7 to 18 years old (n=10). The instruments have 4 to 30 items and vary from two to five dimensions, the most frequent being “healthy eating” and “physical activity.” Conclusion: There are different reliable instruments designed to assess eating self-efficacy in adolescents and children, indicating the importance of this construct for preventing and controlling obesity and overweight.
