Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study was to scrutinize how online occupational therapy group training for mothers influenced their attitudes and stress levels relating to feeding their children and the eating behaviours of the children. The secondary purpose of the study is to evaluate the satisfaction of the participants of this program. Twenty-nine mothers of children aged 3–6 years, experiencing feeding issues, were randomly allocated to either an intervention or control group.

Background

Feeding problems including selective eating, loss of appetite, and mealtime behaviour problems are prevalent during childhood. Parents play a fundamental role in acquiring knowledge about feeding. Problems in the feeding process may lead to parental stress, feelings of despair, and incorrect attitudes.

Results

The mothers in the research group participated in the 4-week training. Results indicated positive effects on both maternal attitudes and their children's eating behaviours (p < 0.05). No significant change was found in mothers' state and trait anxiety levels (p > 0.05). Participants were asked to score their satisfaction level with the program between 1 and 10, and the average of the scores was 9.78 ± 0.42.

Conclusion

This study shows that online group education for mothers can support existing treatments and guide clinicians working with children with feeding problems.

为有喂养问题儿童的母亲提供在线职业治疗小组培训：随机对照试验

目的：本研究的目的是仔细研究为母亲提供的在线职业治疗小组培训如何影响她们在喂养孩子和孩子饮食行为方面的态度和压力水平。研究的第二个目的是评估该计划参与者的满意度。29 位有 3-6 岁喂养问题儿童的母亲被随机分配到干预组或对照组：背景：喂养问题，包括选择性进食、食欲不振和进餐行为问题，在儿童时期十分普遍。家长在掌握喂养知识方面扮演着重要角色。喂养过程中出现的问题可能会导致家长产生压力、绝望感和不正确的态度：研究组的母亲参加了为期 4 周的培训。结果表明，培训对母亲的态度和孩子的饮食行为都产生了积极影响（P 0.05）。参与者被要求在 1 到 10 之间对项目的满意度打分，平均分为 9.78 ± 0.42：这项研究表明，针对母亲的在线小组教育可以支持现有的治疗方法，并为临床医生处理有喂养问题的儿童提供指导。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
