To develop a theoretical framework for understanding maternal perceptions of overweight and obesity in children.
Semi-structured interviews with 12 mothers of overweight or obese children recruited via the paediatrician or local weight management group. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using Grounded Theory methodology.
Using Grounded Theory, a theoretical understanding of maternal perceptions of overweight and obesity in children was developed using the two over-arching core categories of 'Good mum/bad mum' and 'Resilience'.
Results supported findings uncovered in previous research and also expand on these findings by offering explanations about the psychological mechanisms that may mediate maternal misperceptions of overweight.
为了理解母亲对儿童超重和肥胖的认知，建立一个理论框架。
通过儿科医生或当地体重管理小组，对 12 位超重或肥胖儿童的母亲进行半结构化访谈。采用扎根理论的方法对访谈内容进行转录和分析。
利用扎根理论，通过“好妈妈/坏妈妈”和“韧性”这两个总体核心范畴，对母亲对儿童超重和肥胖的认知进行了理论理解。
研究结果支持了之前研究中发现的结果，并通过对可能影响母亲对超重的错误认知的心理机制的解释，对这些发现进行了扩展。
