Mother's perceived barriers in the control of sweets consumption in 3-6 years old
Message:
Abstract:
Background And Aims
Consumption of sweets (snack foods) is one of the most important risk factors associated with dental decay. Children have a great interest in using snack foods. Most children، however، are disadvantaged of taking appropriate action by their parents to control their nutritional behaviors، because of various reasons. This study aimed to explore mothers’ perceived barriers in the control of sweets consumption by their children.
Materials And Methods
The present qualitative study consisting of 40 mothers having 3-6 years old children was performed on Kamyaran residents in 2014 to evaluate their attitudes towards barriers in the control of sweets consumption. Participants were selected based on purposeful sampling and semi-structured interviews were exploited in order to data gathering. Transcriptions of all interviews were analyzed employing content analysis technique to extract main themes according to research questions. Before each interview mothers were informed regarding aim of research، interview style، freedom to leave the interview and the way interview content would be kept private.
Results
The data analyzed suggests that it was possible to categorize mothers’ perceived barriers into three main themes including a) mother related barriers (lack of knowledge and inappropriate attitude)، b) child related barriers (emotional status and inappropriate behavior) and c) family related barriers (culture and behavior of family members).
Conclusion
It is hoped that the present research will broaden our understanding of perceived barriers of mothers which could be utilized for future quantitative researches and dental health educational programs.
