Comportamento alimentar materno na relação com os lanches escolares em alunos do 1º ciclo

Abstract

Schoolchildren's nutrition plays a fundamental role in their intellectual and cognitive competence, being school snacks fundamental for this better performance and the nutritional adequacy of their food. The mother's diet, during pregnancy and later breastfeeding, is a factor of possible influence on children's taste, which can affect how food is allowed and the development of children's eating behavior. On the other hand, the time a child spends at school makes the influence of teachers and colleagues in their food gain strength. Thus, it becomes the principle of this study to investigate the maternal food influence in the snacks of children in the 1st cycle of education. The objective of the study is to evaluate maternal eating behavior and their food control practices and their influence on school snacks and their child's eating behavior. About the sample dimension, 211 children from the 2nd and 3rd year of education of public Basic Schools of the 1st cycle of the municipality of Guarda participated in the study. The realization of this study depended on the collection of questionnaires completed by the students' mothers and on the assessment of snacks and anthropometric assessment of the children. Of 374 children contacted, 304 were authorized to participate in the study, having been the final sample of 211 students (authorized students present on the day of the anthropometric assessment and the snack). As results, the food products most available for consumption in snacks were the group of bread and equivalents, but also the group of cakes and pastries. The average energy value of the two snacks together was 531kcal. Most snacks came from home and were prepared by the mothers. The main reason for the omission of the snack was the fact that it is not usual for the child to snack. The percentage of children who consumed school milk in the morning snack was 44% and in the afternoon snack it was 21%. Several fundamental relationships were verified in what is moldable in the child's eating behavior, such as the relationship between the consumption of school milk and the consumption of soft drinks, juices and nectars, the association between socio-economic status and snacks, and also the association between the mother's BMI and the school lunch. Statistically significant correlations were found between the mother's food and the children's food, and between the maternal food control and the children's food. The objectives of the present study have been achieved, but many of the outlined hypotheses have not been confirmed, since snacking alone is not a good indicator for assessing maternal eating behavior. The study of school snacks provides important and useful information for the development of Food Education programs, where their success depends on the school's shared involvement with the family and the community. The teacher's role has proven to be relevant to the quality of snacks, just as the father should be more involved in feeding his children in a way and that these programs gain greater efficiency in the children's lives.

A alimentação da criança em idade escolar possui um papel fundamental na sua competência intelectual e cognitiva, sendo os lanches escolares fundamentais para este melhor desempenho e para a adequação nutricional da sua alimentação. A alimentação da mãe, durante a gravidez e posteriormente na amamentação, é um fator de possível influência no paladar das crianças, podendo afetar as preferências alimentares e o desenvolvimento do comportamento alimentar das crianças. Em contrapartida, o tempo que a criança passa na escola faz com que a influência dos professores e dos colegas na sua alimentação ganhe força. O objetivo deste estudo, passou por avaliar o comportamento alimentar materno e as práticas de controlo alimentar das mesmas e a sua influência nos lanches escolares e comportamento alimentar dos seus filhos. Para a dimensão da amostra, foram contactadas 374crianças, tendo sido autorizadas a participar 304, e após aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão obteve-se a amostra finalde 211 alunos de Escolas Básicas públicas do 1ºciclo do concelho da Guarda. A realização deste estudo dependeu da recolha de questionários preenchidos pelas mães dos alunos e da avaliação dos lanches e antropométrica das crianças. Como resultados, os produtos alimentares mais disponíveis para consumo nos lanches foram o grupo do pão e equivalentes, mas também o grupo dos bolos e pastéis. O valor energético médio dos dois lanches juntos foi de 531kcal. A maioria dos lanches provinha de casa e era preparado pelas mães. A principal razão para a omissão do lanche foi o facto de não ser habitual a criança lanchar. A percentagem de crianças que consumiram leite escolar no lanche da manhã foi de 44% e no lanche da tarde foi de 21%. Foram verificadas várias relações no que diz respeito ao comportamento alimentar da criança, tais como a relação entre o consumo de leite escolar e o consumo de refrigerantes, sumos e néctares, a associação entre o estatuto socioeconómico e o lanche, e também a associação entre o IMC da mãe e o lanche escolar. Foram encontradascorrelações estatisticamente significativas entre a alimentação da mãe e a alimentação dos filhos, e entre o controlo alimentar materno e a alimentação dos filhos. Concluindo, os objetivos do presente estudo foram atingidos, não tendo sido muitas das hipóteses delineadas confirmadas, uma vez que o lanche por si só não é um bom indicador para avaliar o comportamento alimentar materno. O estudo dos lanches escolares fornece informação importante e útil para o desenvolvimento de programas de Educação Alimentar, em que o seu sucesso depende do envolvimento partilhado da escola com a família e com a comunidade. O papel do professor tem revelado ser importante para a qualidade dos lanches, assim como o pai deveria estar mais envolvido na alimentação dos filhos de forma a que estes programas ganhem maior eficiência na vida das crianças.
