Abstract

Issue addressed: Munch & Move is a New South Wales (NSW) Ministry of Health program offering family day care (FDC) educators training to support children's healthy behaviours. This study examined educators' nutrition, physical activity and screen time practices and relationships between Munch & Move training and professional development (PD) on these practices.

Methods: NSW FDC educators (n = 186) completed an online survey from July 2020-June 2021. Differences between groups based on Munch & Move training (trained; not trained) and PD (those who completed PD ≥1 time per year; those who completed PD <1 time per year or never) were tested using bivariate analyses.

Results: A significantly higher proportion of educators trained in Munch & Move offered information to families regarding food serving sizes, nutrition policies, and children's physical activity and screen time. Over one-third in both groups did not meet the guideline of no screen time for children under 2 years old. Compared with those who completed PD ≥1 time per year, a significantly higher proportion of educators who completed PD <1 time per year or never did not provide families with nutrition guidelines or resources.

Conclusions: Educators trained in Munch & Move, and those who completed PD more frequently, demonstrated better nutrition, physical activity and screen time practices in several areas. SO WHAT?: This study demonstrated benefits of the Munch & Move program, implemented with support from Local Health District health promotion officers, and highlighted key areas for improvement in healthy practices in FDC.

家庭日托中的营养和体育活动实践:对澳大利亚家庭日托教育工作者的横向调查。
解决的问题:Munch & Move是新南威尔士州(NSW)卫生部的一项计划,为家庭日托(FDC)教育工作者提供培训,以支持儿童的健康行为。本研究调查了教育工作者在营养、体育活动和屏幕时间方面的做法,以及 "动动嘴 "培训和专业发展(PD)在这些做法方面的关系:2020年7月至2021年6月期间,新南威尔士州家庭发展中心的教育工作者(n = 186)完成了一项在线调查。根据 Munch & Move 培训(接受过培训;未接受过培训)和专业发展(每年完成专业发展≥1 次者;完成专业发展者)进行分组,结果显示:接受过 Munch & Move 培训的教育工作者比例显著高于未接受过培训的教育工作者:在接受过 "Munch & Move "培训的教育工作者中,向家庭提供有关食物份量、营养政策、儿童体育活动和屏幕时间信息的比例明显更高。两组中都有超过三分之一的人没有达到两岁以下儿童无屏幕时间的指导方针。与每年≥1 次完成 PD 的教育工作者相比,完成 PD 的教育工作者得出结论的比例明显更高:接受过 "Munch & Move "培训的教育工作者,以及更频繁地完成培训的教育工作者,在营养、体育活动和屏幕时间等多个方面都表现得更好。所以呢?这项研究证明了在地方卫生区健康促进官员支持下实施的 "Munch & Move "计划的益处,并强调了家庭发展中心在健康实践方面需要改进的关键领域。
