For the development of fruit and vegetable promotion interventions, insight is needed into determinants of health behaviour. This study presents results of focus group interviews held with 10- to 11-year-old schoolchildren from Ghent (Belgium-Flanders) and Rotterdam (the Netherlands) to explore personal beliefs and motivations and environmental factors related to schoolchildren's fruit and vegetable intake, to inform the Pro Children intervention development.
Twelve focus groups were held with 92 schoolchildren. The interviews were recorded and transcribed and NVivo was used to analyse the transcripts.
Positive health beliefs, taste preferences, lack of knowledge and practical barriers were identified as personal factors related to fruit and vegetable intake. Home and school availability of fruits and vegetables, as well as parenting practices were identified as important environmental factors.
A fruit and vegetable promotion intervention should aim to increase fruit and vegetable accessibility and should include educational and motivational activities tailored to these personal and environmental factors. These indications should be further evaluated in quantitative research among representative samples.
为制定水果和蔬菜推广干预措施，需要深入了解健康行为的决定因素。本研究展示了对比利时弗拉芒大区根特市和荷兰鹿特丹市10至11岁学童进行焦点小组访谈的结果，以探讨与学童水果和蔬菜摄入量相关的个人信念、动机及环境因素，为“关爱儿童”干预措施的制定提供参考。
与92名学童进行了12个焦点小组访谈。访谈进行了录音和转录，并使用NVivo软件对转录文本进行分析。
积极的健康信念、口味偏好、知识匮乏和实际障碍被确定为与水果和蔬菜摄入量相关的个人因素。家庭和学校水果和蔬菜的供应情况以及育儿方式被确定为重要的环境因素。
水果和蔬菜推广干预措施应旨在增加水果和蔬菜的可及性，并应包括针对这些个人和环境因素的教育和激励活动。这些指标应在具有代表性样本的定量研究中进一步评估。
