Early onset pediatric obesity has become a major health concern in the United States. A key contributing factor to early onset childhood is socialization to the eating and mealtime environment. Maternal feeding styles play an integral role in how children are socialized to the eating and mealtime environment.
The study utilized a descriptive correlational research design. The sample was 126 mother/child dyads recruited from a southeastern Michigan Head Start program. Each mother completed a research packet.
Results indicated that maternal beliefs such as nutritional belief and belief about the child's eating style were significantly associated with maternal feeding style. Maternal behaviors were associated with maternal feeding styles.
Overall, the study provides a description of maternal beliefs and behaviors related to the body weight status of a preschool-aged child.
在美国，儿童肥胖症的早期发病已成为一个主要的健康问题。导致儿童早期发病的一个关键因素是他们对饮食和用餐环境的社会化。母亲的喂养方式在儿童如何被社会化到饮食和用餐环境中起着至关重要的作用。
本研究采用描述性相关研究设计。样本是从密歇根州东南部的一个学前教育计划中招募的 126 对母亲/孩子。每位母亲都完成了一份研究包。
结果表明，母亲的信念，如营养信念和对孩子饮食风格的信念，与母亲的喂养方式显著相关。母亲的行为与母亲的喂养方式有关。
总的来说，这项研究描述了与学龄前儿童体重状况相关的母亲的信念和行为。
