Family participation is an important element on nutritional education especially for students. Parents have a key role in instilling and understanding healthy eating habits, but yet the use of family participation strategies in the nutrition education was low. The aim of this study is determining the effect of parental educational intervention program for parents on adolescents' nutritional behaviors in Isfahan, Iran in 2016.
This study was a kind of field trial that conducted on 63 girl teenagers from junior high schools of Isfahan in 2016 that were randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. The data collection tool which was a researcher made questionnaire was completed in both groups before and 1 month after the intervention. The intervention included three training sessions for parents and giving educational compact disc and forwarding SMS. To analysis of data independent -test and paired -test were used.
Paired -test showed that in intervention group the average score of fruit ( = 0.03) and in control group the average score of vegetables ( < 0.05) were significant statistical difference, but in other aspects of nutritional behaviors was not a significant difference. Independent -test showed that after intervention, mean scores nutritional behavior of adolescent girls in both groups had no significant differences.
No significant difference was in the nutritional behaviors before and after the intervention. Hence, just educating the parents is not enough for achieving appropriate nutritional behaviors in the adolescents.
家庭参与是营养教育的重要组成部分，对学生而言尤其如此。父母在灌输和理解健康饮食习惯方面起着关键作用，但在营养教育中家庭参与策略的应用却很少。本研究的目的是确定2016年在伊朗伊斯法罕开展的针对父母的家长教育干预项目对青少年营养行为的影响。
本研究为一项现场试验，于2016年对来自伊斯法罕初中的63名少女进行，她们被随机分为干预组和对照组。数据收集工具是研究者编制的问卷，在干预前及干预后1个月两组均完成该问卷。干预包括为家长举办三次培训课程、发放教育光盘以及发送短信。数据分析采用独立样本t检验和配对样本t检验。
配对样本t检验显示，干预组水果平均得分（P = 0.03），对照组蔬菜平均得分（P < 0.05）有显著统计学差异，但在营养行为的其他方面无显著差异。独立样本t检验显示，干预后两组青少年女孩的营养行为平均得分无显著差异。
干预前后营养行为无显著差异。因此，仅对家长进行教育不足以使青少年养成适当的营养行为。
