Description
Introduction: A ppropriate nutrition is a major health objective in children’s early years. Eating
problems among children as well as low awareness and the unsuitable function of mothers in
this regard could result in complications for children and their families.
Objective: We aimed to determine the effect of an integrated training on the mothers of 1- to
3-year-old children with eating problems.
Materials and Methods: This was a two-group quasi-experimental study. In total, 70
mothers of 1 to 3-year-old children with eating problems visiting health centers in
Rasht City, Iran, participated in this research. They were selected through a nonrandom
sampling method. Then, the samples were assigned into the case and control groups.
The case group received integrated training. The training sessions were held during three
consecutive weeks as two in-person sessions along with presenting an educational CD.
Moreover, a virtual session was provided to the study subjects through text messages.
The children’s eating problems’ data were recorded using Food Preference Questionnaire
(FPQ) measuring eating problems in toddlers (including 5 areas of water satisfaction with
eating, mother tension during eating, eating different food types, eating behavior, and
food dependence physical signs) before, immediately after, and one month after the
intervention by the mothers. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential
(t-test, Chi-squared test) statistics.
Results: The achieved results indicated no significant difference in the eating problems of
toddlers before the intervention in the case and treatment groups. Such lack of difference
was in terms of mothers’ satisfaction with child’s eating, and the child’s eating behavior, stress
during the child’s eating, and eating different food types. However, immediately and one
month after the training, the t-test and Chi-squared test results indicated improved mothers’
satisfaction with children’s eating (P=0.0001) and reduced stress in mothers during children’s
eating (P=0.0001). Nevertheless, in the two areas of eating behavior and eating different food
types, no significant differences were observed.
Conclusion: The obtained results suggested that toddlers’ eating problems could be improved
by providing integrated training programs to their mothers
