Nursing intervention to improve mothers' awareness of the effects of health and lifestyle habits on the lifestyle of their children

本研究旨在阐明护理干预的效果，通过刺激母亲对自己的健康和生活方式的兴趣来改善母亲及其年幼子女的生活习惯。为利用社区育儿支持中心的母亲们举办了一期“带着年幼子女的母亲健康生活方式班”。该教育项目为期6个月，由4节课组成。在第一堂课和最后一堂课上，进行了一项生活方式调查，并测量了母亲的骨量、体脂百分比和身体质量指数。参加课程的大多数母亲都表示，这门课帮助了她们和她们的父母。母亲对自己生活方式的认识与孩子的饮食习惯有关。这些结果表明，社区育儿支持中心的健康生活方式课程对有年幼孩子的母亲很有用。

The present study aimed to clarify the effects of a nursing intervention to improve the lifestyle habits of mothers and their young children by stimulating mothers' interests in their own health and lifestyles. A "healthy lifestyle class for mothers with young children" was held for mothers who utilized a community parenting support center in community. The educational program lasted 6 months and consisted of 4 sessions. A lifestyle survey was administered and mothers' bone mass, body fat percentage, and body mass index were measured at first and final session.Most of the mothers who participated in the class responded that the class helped them and their parenting. Mothers' awareness of their own lifestyles was associated with the dietary habits of their children. These results suggest that healthy lifestyle classes at community parenting support centers are useful for mothers with young children.
