Abstract(s)
O excesso de peso e obesidade infantil são considerados um problema de saúde pública. Pelos riscos associados constituem uma área de intervenção prioritária dos Enfermeiros de Família. O conhecimento dos pais sobre esta temática poderá influenciar o comportamento dos filhos relativamente aos hábitos alimentares dado o reconhecido impacto que o microambiente familiar tem sobre as escolhas e ações das crianças. Conhecer o contexto familiar, escolar e social pode ser uma estratégia para desenvolver intervenções adaptadas a cada família, assim como para antecipar eventuais comportamentos de risco.
Objetivos: avaliar a relação do excesso de peso/obesidade infantil com o conhecimento dos pais sobre alimentação; avaliar a relação entre o excesso de peso/obesidade infantil com as variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e económicas; avaliar a associação entre o conhecimento dos pais sobre alimentação com as variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e económicas.
Metodologia: quantitativa, estudo descritivo-correlacional, transversal, desenvolvido em contexto de ensino clínico durante o 1º semestre do 2º ano do Mestrado em Enfermagem de Saúde Familiar do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança na Unidade de Saúde Familiar (USF) + Carandá. Procedeu-se a amostragem não probabilística por conveniência, obtendo-se uma amostra constituída por crianças em idade pré-escolar (3, 4 e 5/6 anos) e respetivos pais que cumpriam os critérios de inclusão.
Resultados: o maior conhecimento parental sobre alimentação está relacionado com um índice de massa corporal (IMC) mais baixo dos respetivos filhos; quanto maior o IMC das mães e superior a qualificação da profissão dos pais, maior o IMC dos filhos; quanto menor a prática de atividade física das crianças maior o seu IMC.
Children’s overweight and obesity are public health problems. Due to the associated risks, they represent a priority area of intervention for family nurses. Parental knowledge about this topic may influence children's behavior regarding eating habits due to the well-known impact of the family microenvironment on children's choices and actions. Knowing the family, school, and social context can be a strategy to create interventions tailored to individual family realities, and to anticipate eventual risk behaviors. Objectives: assess the relationship between childhood overweight and obesity and parents' knowledge about feeding; evaluate the relationship between childhood overweight and obesity with sociodemographic, clinical, and economic variables; assess the association between parents' knowledge about feeding with sociodemographic, clinical, and economic variables. Methodology: quantitative, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional study, developed in the context of clinical training at the USF + Carandá primary care facility in the 1st semester of the 2nd year of the Master's Degree in Family Health Nursing of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling was carried out, obtaining a sample consisting of children of pre-school age (3, 4 and 5/6 years) and their parents who met the inclusion criteria. Results: parents’ greater knowledge about feeding is related to lower body mass index (BMI) of the respective offspring; the higher the mothers' BMI and the parents' professional qualification, the higher the children's BMI; the lower the children's physical activity, the higher their BMI.
