Article Synopsis
- This study examines how mothers' perceptions of their infants' hunger and fullness relate to their feeding methods and the weight status of the infants.
- Conducted in Sinaloa, Mexico, the research involved 424 mother-infant pairs, revealing that many mothers struggle to accurately perceive hunger and satiety signals, with a notable percentage of infants being overweight.
- The findings indicate that better maternal perception is linked to healthier weight in infants, while mixed feeding and introducing complementary foods too early are associated with higher chances of overweight issues among infants.
Aim: To analyze association among family functioning, parental rearing and nutritional status in preschoolers.
Design: Quantitative, descriptive and correlational cross-sectional study.
Location: Preschool public institutions in Nuevo León, Mexico.
Introduction: despite the fact that childhood obesity is a serious health problem, little is known about its related factors in early childhood.
Objective: to evaluate which maternal, cognitive and infant factors influence the infant's energy intake and if these influence their nutritional status before the year.
Methods: descriptive study of correlation.
Objectives: to describe the maternal eating and physical activity strategies (monitoring, discipline, control, limits and reinforcement) [MEES]; to determine the relation between MEES and the child's nutritional status [body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BFP)]; to verify whether the MEES differ according to the child's nutritional status.
Method: participants were 558 mothers and children (3 to 11 years of age) who studied at public schools. The Parental Strategies for Eating and Activity Scale (PEAS) was applied and the child's weight, height and BFP were measured.
The aim was to analyze well child nursing care (WCC) and to distinguish if the care is procedure or user centered. The concepts of the nursing work process and the micro-politics of health work supported this qualitative study. Systematic direct observation of 87 WCC consultations was accomplished at one Family Medicine Unit and semistructured interviews were held with 25 mothers who attended WCC consultations with their child.
