简介：家庭食品把关人有可能影响家庭成员的食品态度和行为，因为他们主要负责家庭中与食品相关的任务。本研究的目的是确定守门人对家庭食品实践中食品相关技能和营养知识的信心所起的作用。方法：由从全球市场现场 (GMI) 研究数据库中选出的 1059 名澳大利亚饮食守门人完成了一项在线调查。参与者回答了有关食物获取和准备行为、家庭饮食环境、对食物的看法和态度以及人口统计数据的问题。使用两步聚类分析根据对食品技能和营养知识的信心来识别群体。使用卡方检验和单因素方差分析来比较各组的因变量。结果：确定了三组：低置信度、中等置信度和高置信度。最高置信度组的守门人更有可能报告较低的体重指数（BMI），并表明新鲜食品、膳食中蔬菜的突出程度、产品信息使用、膳食计划、感知行为控制和整体饮食满意度更高的重要性。信心最低组的守门人更有可能表示健康饮食存在更多障碍，报告更多的时间限制和更多的冲动购买行为以及更多的便利成分使用。还发现了其他较小的协会。结论：具有高食品技能信心的家庭食品守门人更有可能从事多种健康食品实践，而那些食品技能信心低的家庭食品守门人更有可能从事不健康的食品实践。旨在培养食品技能和营养知识的食品教育战略将使当前和未来的守门人能够为自己和家人做出更健康的食品决定。 (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Introduction: Household food gatekeepers have the potential to influence the food attitudes and behaviours of family members, as they are mainly responsible for food-related tasks in the home. The aim of this study was to determine the role of gatekeepers' confidence in food-related skills and nutrition knowledge on food practices in the home.Methods: An online survey was completed by 1059 Australian dietary gatekeepers selected from the Global Market Insite (GMI) research database. Participants responded to questions about food acquisition and preparation behaviours, the home eating environment, perceptions and attitudes towards food, and demographics. Two-step cluster analysis was used to identify groups based on confidence regarding food skills and nutrition knowledge. Chi-square tests and one-way ANOVAs were used to compare the groups on the dependent variables.Results: Three groups were identified: low confidence, moderate confidence and high confidence. Gatekeepers in the highest confidence group were significantly more likely to report lower body mass index (BMI), and indicate higher importance of fresh food products, vegetable prominence in meals, product information use, meal planning, perceived behavioural control and overall diet satisfaction. Gatekeepers in the lowest confidence group were significantly more likely to indicate more perceived barriers to healthy eating, report more time constraints and more impulse purchasing practices, and higher convenience ingredient use. Other smaller associations were also found.Conclusion: Household food gatekeepers with high food skills confidence were more likely to engage in several healthy food practices, while those with low food skills confidence were more likely to engage in unhealthy food practices. Food education strategies aimed at building food-skills and nutrition knowledge will enable current and future gatekeepers to make healthier food decisions for themselves and for their families.
