目的：探讨儿童参与营养研究的动机、利益和障碍。为了探讨儿童的观点，如何提高research experience.Design：七个焦点小组会议进行了2008年3月期间，研究参与者从一项试验，检查运动前的零食对儿童的身体活动和运动压力的影响。行为改变的健康信念模型作为理解参与研究的感知益处和障碍的框架，以及帮助儿童为未来参与研究做好准备的行动线索。设置：马萨诸塞州阿克顿的室内运动中心。参与者：35名儿童，15名男性和20名女性，年龄7-10岁。感兴趣的现象：儿童参与营养研究。分析：成绩单进行了审查，编码，并根据经常性的趋势和模式使用NVIVO software.Results：参与者绝大多数都积极参与研究，因为经济激励。参与的最大障碍是对手指刺痛的焦虑。儿童建议展示不同方面的数据收集在招聘过程中，以减少恐惧和使用分心技术，以提高焦虑引起的data collection.Conclusion和影响的经验：研究参与的好处和障碍的主题进行了确定。数据还提供了一个指南，以促进准备和改善研究经验的儿童在未来的营养试验。
Objective: To explore children's motivations for and perceived benefits and barriers to nutrition research participation. To explore children's perspectives on how to improve the research experience.Design: Seven focus group sessions were conducted during March 2008 with research participants from a trial that examined the effects of pre-exercise snacks on physical activity and exercise stress in children. The Health Belief Model for Behavior Change served as the framework for understanding perceived benefits and barriers to research participation and cues to action to help children's readiness for future research participation.Setting: Indoor sports center in Acton, Massachusetts.Participants: Thirty-five children, 15 males and 20 females, aged 7-10 years.Phenomenon of Interest: Children's participation in nutrition research.Analysis: Transcripts were reviewed, coded, and sorted according to recurring trends and patterns using NVIVO software.Results: Participants were overwhelmingly motivated to participate in research because of financial incentives. The biggest barrier to participation was anxiety over finger pricks. Children suggested demonstrating different aspects of data collection during recruitment to reduce trepidation and using distraction techniques to improve the experience during anxiety-provoking data collection.Conclusion and Implications: Themes for benefits and barriers to research participation were identified. Data also provide a guide to promote readiness and to improve the research experience for children in Future nutrition trials.
