Nearly a quarter of preschool-aged Chinese American children are overweight or obese. Children of overweight mothers are at higher risk for obesity. Efforts to prevent obesity among low-income minority children with overweight mothers should start in early childhood.
This randomized pilot study consisted of 8 weekly sessions, examined feasibility of a tablet computer-based intervention among 32 mother-child dyads. The study estimated effect size of the intervention at baseline, 3 and 6 months on maternal outcomes including self-efficacy, eating behaviors, physical activity, child-feeding practices, and change in body mass index.
The tablet computer-based intervention is feasible among low-income Chinese mothers with low acculturation. A large-effect size was observed in reducing maternal body mass index, waist circumference, and improving maternal eating style and self-efficacy for promoting healthy eating.
Multimedia tablet-based education tailored for Chinese immigrant mothers was successful in short-term maternal behaviors changes related to diet and exercise.
近四分之一的华裔美国学龄前儿童超重或肥胖。超重母亲的孩子肥胖风险更高。预防低收入且母亲超重的少数族裔儿童肥胖的工作应从幼儿期开始。
这项随机试点研究包括8次每周一次的课程，研究了32对母婴中基于平板电脑的干预措施的可行性。该研究估计了干预措施在基线、3个月和6个月时对母亲的自我效能感、饮食行为、身体活动、儿童喂养方式以及体重指数变化等结果的效应大小。
基于平板电脑的干预措施在文化适应程度低的低收入中国母亲中是可行的。在降低母亲体重指数、腰围以及改善母亲的饮食方式和促进健康饮食的自我效能感方面观察到了较大的效应大小。
