本研究的目的是探讨母亲对儿童体重不足和超重的关注，母亲喂养方法的使用（进食压力和限制，健康饮食的监测和建模），儿童饮食行为（烦躁和食物反应）和儿童体重指数之间的关系。该样本由183名2至4岁儿童的母亲组成，她们完成了有关喂养习惯、对孩子体重的担忧、孩子的饮食行为、身高和体重的问卷。相关性分析发现，进食压力与对儿童体重不足的担忧呈正相关，而限制进食与对儿童超重的担忧呈正相关。监测和建模与对儿童体重的关注并不独立相关。回归分析显示，儿童食物的大惊小怪积极预测母亲的压力吃，这种关系是部分介导的关注儿童体重不足。儿童食物反应积极预测限制，这种关系部分介导的儿童超重的关注。儿童BMI不能独立预测母亲的喂养方式。研究结果提供了一个有用的贡献文献的决定因素的母亲喂养的做法，但进一步的研究是必要的，以了解这些行为对儿童饮食行为和体重的影响。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between maternal concern about child under- and overweight, the use of maternal feeding practices (pressure to eat and restriction, monitoring and modelling of healthy eating), child eating behaviours (fussiness and food responsiveness) and child body mass index. The sample consisted of 183 mothers of 2- to 4-year-old children who completed questionnaires about their feeding practices, concern about their child's weight, their child's eating behaviours, height and weight. Correlation analyses found that pressure to eat was positively associated with concern about child underweight, while restriction was positively associated with concern about child overweight. Monitoring and modelling were not independently associated with concern about child weight. Regression analysis revealed that child food fussiness positively predicted maternal pressure to eat, and this relationship was partially mediated by concern about child underweight. Child food responsiveness positively predicted restriction, and this relationship was partially mediated by concern about child overweight. Child BMI did not independently predict maternal feeding practices. The findings provide a useful contribution to the literature on determinants of maternal feeding practices, but further research is necessary to gain an understanding of the impact of these behaviours on child eating behaviour and weight.
