背景无反应的母婴喂养互动，例如限制、加压和情绪化喂养，可能会影响孩子自我调节摄入量的能力，并增加超重的风险。然而，尽管研究结果表明生活在英国的南亚和黑人儿童更有可能超重，但英国的研究并未考虑不同种族群体之间母婴喂养方式的差异。本研究旨在探讨英国各族裔母亲对孩子喂养方式的差异，并考虑剥夺和养育方式等相关因素。方法对 659 名有 5-11 岁孩子的英国母亲完成了问卷调查。项目包括种族和人口统计数据，以及儿童喂养问卷、父母喂养方式问卷和养育方式和维度问卷的副本。 结果：感知责任（P = 0.002）、限制（P = 0.026）、进食压力（P = 0.045）、工具喂养（P = 0.000）和情绪喂养（P = 0.000）方面存在显着差异。组之间发现。来自南亚背景的母亲报告说，她们在进食、情绪化喂养和放纵喂养方式方面承受着更大的压力，而来自中国背景的母亲则报告说，她们有更大的责任感和限制。来自英国黑人和白人背景的母亲在任何行为方面都没有显着更高。母亲对孩子的喂养方式也与剥夺和养育方式有关，尽管这些并没有完全解释数据。结论了解母亲对孩子的喂养方式背后的文化因素，特别是围绕压力和放纵的喂养行为，可能在降低英国儿童超重和肥胖的水平方面发挥重要作用。
BackgroundNonresponsive maternal child-feeding interactions, such as restricting, pressurising and emotional feeding, can affect the ability of a child to self-regulate intake and increase the risk of becoming overweight. However, despite findings that South Asian and Black children living in the UK are more likely to be overweight, UK research has not considered how maternal child-feeding style might differ between ethnic groups. The present study aimed to explore variations in maternal child-feeding style between ethnic groups in the UK, taking into account associated factors such as deprivation and parenting style.MethodsSix hundred and fifty-nine UK mothers with a child who was aged 5-11 years old completed a questionnaire. Items included ethnicity and demographic data, as well as copies of the Child Feeding Questionnaire, Parental Feeding Styles Questionnaire and Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire.ResultsSignificant differences in perceived responsibility (P = 0.002), restriction (P = 0.026), pressure to eat (P = 0.045), instrumental feeding (P = 0.000) and emotional feeding (P = 0.000) were found between the groups. Mothers from South Asian backgrounds reported higher levels of pressure to eat, emotional feeding and indulgent feeding styles, whereas mothers from Chinese backgrounds reported greater perceived responsibility and restriction. Mothers from Black and White British backgrounds were not significantly higher with respect to any behaviour. Maternal child-feeding style was also associated with deprivation and parenting style, although these did not fully explain the data.ConclusionsUnderstanding cultural factors behind maternal child-feeding style, particularly around pressurising and indulgent feeding behaviours, may play an important part in reducing levels of children who are overweight and obese in the UK.
