为探讨父母养育方式与儿童/青少年饮食失调(即情绪性进食和暴饮暴食)之间的关系是否可能通过父母的压力和父母喂养子女的做法进行调节。样本包括726个家庭，其中362个儿童/青少年体重正常(BMI=5-85百分位数)，364个儿童/青少年超重或肥胖(BMI>=85个百分位数)。父母完成了有意识的育儿、育儿压力和儿童喂养实践的自我报告，儿童/青少年完成了情绪化进食和暴饮暴食的测量。在AMOS中对路径模型进行了估计。有意识的育儿方式与儿童的情绪性进食负相关，主要表现在较低的育儿压力水平，其次是较少使用食物作为奖励，以及较少使用食物作为奖励。有意识的养育方式通过较低的育儿压力水平与儿童的暴饮暴食有关。此外，在女孩的父母中，有意识的育儿方式与较少使用食物作为奖励、施加进食压力和通过较低水平的育儿压力进行监测有关，主要是从青春期早期开始。此外，更高水平的育儿压力与使用食物作为奖励有关，因此，女孩的情绪化进食水平更高，更多的限制，因此，在早期青少年中，更多的暴饮暴食。一个综合的模型表明，有意识的育儿可以通过较低的育儿压力水平和采取更适应的儿童喂养做法来帮助儿童/青少年减少无序的饮食行为。父母的做法，尤其是用心育儿，可能在促进儿童/青少年更健康的饮食行为方面发挥重要作用。
To explore whether the association between mindful parenting and children/adolescents' disordered eating behaviors (i.e., emotional eating and overeating) may be mediated by parenting stress and parental child-feeding practices.The sample comprised 726 family dyads composed of a mother (79.8%) or a father (20.2%) and their child (7-18 years old), of which 362 children/adolescents had normal weight (BMI = 5-85th percentile) and 364 had overweight or obesity (BMI >= 85th percentile) according to the WHO Child Growth Standards. Parents completed self-report measures of mindful parenting, parenting stress, and child-feeding practices, and children/adolescents completed measures of emotional eating and overeating. The path model was estimated in AMOS. Mindful parenting was negatively associated with children's emotional eating through lower levels of parenting stress followed by less frequent use of food as a reward and through less frequent use of food as a reward only.Mindful parenting was linked to children's overeating through lower levels of parenting stress. Moreover, mindful parenting was associated with less frequent use of food as a reward, pressuring to eat and monitoring through lower levels of parenting stress, among parents of girls, mostly from the early stage of adolescence. Additionally, higher levels of parenting stress were associated with using food as a reward and, consequently, with higher levels of emotional eating among girls, and with more restriction and, consequently, with more overeating among early-stage adolescents.A comprehensive model suggesting that mindful parenting can help children/adolescents engage less in disordered eating behaviors through lower levels of parenting stress and the adoption of more adaptive child feeding practices is proposed. Parental practices, particularly mindful parenting, may have an important role in promoting healthier eating behaviors among children/adolescents.
