Childhood obesity is a growing health concern and the literature implicates parents, particularly mothers.
To develop understandings into the views of a group of mothers with an overweight or obese child, about their child's overweight or obesity.
A qualitative design informed by feminist insights. Eleven English speaking mothers of at least one overweight or obese child were drawn from a large urban community in metropolitan Australia to participate in this study.
Participants attributed their child's obesity to factors such as slow metabolism, sedentary lifestyle, familial or cultural factors, genetics, eating habits such as not drinking enough water, or not chewing food adequately. Participants were very concerned about their child's weight problems and their immediate concerns focussed on social problems associated with obesity/overweight.
Understanding parental views about their children's overweight and obesity is a key step in forming effective liaisons between health professionals and parents.
儿童肥胖日益引起人们对健康的关注，文献表明父母尤其是母亲对此负有责任。
深入了解一群有超重或肥胖孩子的母亲对其孩子超重或肥胖问题的看法。
采用基于女权主义见解的定性设计。从澳大利亚大都市的一个大型城市社区中抽取了11位至少有一个超重或肥胖孩子且说英语的母亲参与本研究。
参与者将孩子的肥胖归因于新陈代谢缓慢、久坐不动的生活方式、家庭或文化因素、遗传、饮食习惯（如饮水不足或食物咀嚼不充分）等因素。参与者非常担心孩子的体重问题，她们当前关注的重点是与肥胖/超重相关的社会问题。
了解父母对孩子超重和肥胖问题的看法是在健康专业人员与父母之间建立有效联系的关键一步。
