The aim of this study was to define swallowing and feeding-related problems among typically developing children aged between 2 and 6 years. The presence of food selectivity, limited appetite, chewing dysfunction, and dysphagia signs was questioned and scored as "absent" or "present" according to parent report. Children were divided into 2 groups: children with swallowing and feeding disorders and children without swallowing and feeding disorders. The Turkish version of the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (T-BPFAS) was used to evaluate feeding behaviors of children, and Turkish version of the Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey (T-FS-IS) was used to measure the impact on caregivers. A total of 234 children were included. Food selectivity was defined in 62.4% (n = 146), limited appetite in 26.9% (n = 63), and chewing dysfunction in 7.3% (n = 17). The most common dysphagia-related sign was coughing. There were significant differences between groups in terms of both T-BPFAS and T-FS-IS ( < .001). In conclusion, children with typical development have experienced a wide range of swallowing and feeding-related problems, which have an impact on mothers' perceptions regarding feeding and their quality of life.
本研究旨在明确 2 至 6 岁正常发育儿童的吞咽和喂养相关问题。通过家长报告，对食物选择性、食欲有限、咀嚼功能障碍和吞咽迹象等问题进行询问并评分“存在”或“不存在”。将儿童分为两组：存在吞咽和喂养障碍的儿童以及不存在吞咽和喂养障碍的儿童。使用行为儿科学喂养评估量表（土耳其语版）（T-BPFAS）评估儿童的喂养行为，使用喂养/吞咽影响调查（土耳其语版）（T-FS-IS）评估对照顾者的影响。共纳入 234 名儿童。62.4%（n=146）存在食物选择性问题，26.9%（n=63）存在食欲有限问题，7.3%（n=17）存在咀嚼功能障碍。最常见的与吞咽相关的迹象是咳嗽。在 T-BPFAS 和 T-FS-IS 评分方面，两组之间存在显著差异（<.001）。总之，正常发育的儿童经历了广泛的吞咽和喂养相关问题，这对母亲的喂养认知和生活质量产生了影响。
