Parent reports of mealtime behavioral problems were examined within a sample of medically complicated young children with documented feeding difficulties. Mealtime behavior problems of children who were fed orally were compared with children who received their total nutrition enterally.
A chart review of 140 pediatric patients presenting to an outpatient Interdisciplinary Feeding Team (IFT) clinic was conducted. The sample consisted of 81 males and 59 females ranging from 1.5 months to 12.6 years of age (mean age, 36.5 months). Information included for analyses was obtained from the IFT intake form, final IFT report, and the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS).
Parents of children in both groups found child mealtime behaviors equally problematic according to mean intensity ratings and frequency of problems regarding both parent behavior and child behaviors.
Regardless of feeding status (enteral versus oral feeding) of the child, parents of children with feeding and nutrition concerns benefit from intervention and support surrounding mealtimes. The specific mealtime strategies and needs of the parents, however, may differ depending on the feeding status of the child.
在有记录的喂养困难的医学复杂幼儿样本中，研究了家长对进餐时间行为问题的报告。将经口喂养儿童的进餐时间行为问题与完全通过肠内途径获取营养的儿童进行比较。
对140名到门诊跨学科喂养团队（IFT）诊所就诊的儿科患者进行病历审查。样本包括81名男性和59名女性，年龄从1.5个月到12.6岁（平均年龄36.5个月）。用于分析的信息来自IFT intake表、IFT最终报告以及行为儿科学喂养评估量表（BPFAS）。
根据平均强度评分以及关于家长行为和儿童行为问题的频率，两组儿童的家长都认为孩子的进餐时间行为同样存在问题。
无论儿童的喂养状态（肠内喂养与经口喂养）如何，有喂养和营养问题儿童的家长都能从围绕进餐时间的干预和支持中受益。然而，家长具体的进餐时间策略和需求可能因儿童的喂养状态而异。
