To explore intergenerational differences on key factors of food parenting practices (FPPs) related to home eating behavior of schoolchildren.
In-depth interviews with social recognition theory-based semistructured interviews conducted from December 2016 to January 2017.
Primary caregivers of elementary schoolchildren from 23 households (16 parents, 14 grandparents) in 4 remote areas of Hualien, Taiwan.
Factors related to FPPs hindering micronutrient-dense food group consumption by schoolchildren in a remote area.
In-depth interviews were conducted at participants' houses.
Interviews were audiorecorded and transcribed verbatim. Inductive thematic analysis was performed to elicit studied phenomenon.
Routine family meals provided adequate staple, protein, and vegetables but inadequate whole grains, dairy, fruits, and nuts. More parents provided breakfast composed of pan-fried and semiprocessed products made of refined flour and sugary beverages. Both parents and grandparents had ambiguous nutrition concepts and inconsistent FPPs but in different aspects. They both reflected expectations for assistance from local schools for nutrition and FPPs education to shape up healthy eating behavior of children.
Study findings pinpoint the strength and barriers of FPPs for primary caregivers. Implementing integrated nutrition education programs tailored for empowering nutrition literacy and FPPs is suggested to enhance the healthy eating behavior of schoolchildren in a remote area.
探讨与学童家庭饮食行为相关的食物养育实践（FPP）关键因素在代际间的差异。
基于社会认知理论的深入访谈，采用半结构式访谈，于 2016 年 12 月至 2017 年 1 月进行。
台湾花莲 4 个偏远地区 23 户家庭（16 名家长、14 名祖父母）的小学生主要照顾者。
阻碍偏远地区学童食用富含微量营养素食物组的 FPP 相关因素。
在参与者家中进行深入访谈。
对访谈进行录音并逐字转录。采用归纳主题分析方法引出研究现象。
常规家庭餐提供了充足的主食、蛋白质和蔬菜，但全谷物、乳制品、水果和坚果摄入不足。更多的家长提供了由精制面粉和含糖饮料制成的煎制和半加工产品组成的早餐。父母和祖父母的营养观念都模糊不清，FPP 也不一致，但在不同方面。他们都反映了希望当地学校提供营养和 FPP 教育方面的帮助，以养成儿童的健康饮食习惯。
研究结果指出了主要照顾者 FPP 的优势和障碍。建议实施针对增强营养知识和 FPP 的综合营养教育计划，以增强偏远地区学童的健康饮食习惯。
