Summary: | Objective: to present characteristics related to feeding difficulties (FD) in Brazilian children. Methodology: cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study with a quantitative approach that used a structured electronic questionnaire on FD, management and reaction of caregivers to these difficulties, family repercussions, source of knowledge on the subject and professional approach. Results: one thousand caregivers of children aged between 6 months and 10 years answered the questionnaire in full. FD initially manifested between 1 and 4 years of age in 62% of children. Rejection of trying new foods was the main FD (61%); 65% of the children consumed five or less types of food/day, with cooked foods being preferred by 79%; 33% of caregivers attributed the cause of FD to inadequate examples of family feeding and 32% admitted difficulties in keeping the child focused during feeding. Most caregivers reported that FD don’t affect or have little effect on the family dynamics or child’s school life. Caregivers reported offering another food to replace the refused one (42%), insisting on offering a new food (30%) and seeking guidance from a pediatrician (50%) or nutritionist (28%), who advise repeatedly offering new foods in different forms/preparations (41%); 70% of caregivers maintain appointment with the same pediatrician after diagnosis of FD. As a result of FD, 86% of caregivers fear that their children will develop “low immunity” and become sick. Conclusions: FD in the first years of life is prevalent in Brazil, causing concerns for caregivers of these children. |

Metodología: estudio transversal, observacional, descriptivo con enfoque cuantitativo que utilizó un cuestionario electrónico estructurado sobre DA, manejo y reacción de los cuidadores ante estas dificultades, repercusiones familiares, fuente de conocimiento sobre el tema y enfoque profesional. Resultados: mil cuidadores de niños de entre 6 meses y 10 años respondieron el cuestionario en su totalidad. La DA se manifestó inicialmente entre 1 y 4 años en el 62% de los niños. El rechazo a probar nuevos alimentos fue la principal DA (61%); El 65% de los niños consumió cinco o menos tipos de alimentos / día, siendo los alimentos cocinados preferidos por el 79%; El 33% de los cuidadores atribuyó la causa de la DA a ejemplos inadecuados de alimentación familiar y el 32% admitió dificultades para mantener al niño enfocado durante la alimentación. La mayoría de los cuidadores informaron que la DA no afecta o tiene poco efecto en la dinámica familiar o la vida escolar del niño. Los cuidadores informaron que ofrecieron otro alimento para reemplazar el rechazado (42%), insistieron en ofrecer un nuevo alimento (30%) y buscaron orientación de un pediatra (50%) o nutricionista (28%), quienes aconsejan ofrecer repetidamente nuevos alimentos en diferentes formas / preparaciones (41%); el 70% de los cuidadores mantienen una cita con el mismo pediatra después del diagnóstico de DA. Como resultado de la DA, el 86% de los cuidadores temen que sus hijos desarrollen "baja inmunidad" y se enfermen.Objetivo: apresentar características relacionadas às dificuldades alimentares (DF) em crianças brasileiras. Metodologia: estudo transversal, observacional, descritivo com abordagem quantitativa que utilizou questionário eletrônico estruturado sobre DF, gestão e reação dos cuidadores a essas dificuldades, repercussões familiares, fonte de conhecimento sobre o assunto e abordagem profissional. Resultados: 1.000 cuidadores de crianças entre 6 meses e 10 anos responderam integralmente ao questionário. A FD inicialmente se manifestou entre 1 e 4 anos de idade em 62% das crianças. A rejeição da experimentação de novos alimentos foi a principal FD (61%); 65% das crianças consumiam cinco ou menos tipos de alimentos/dia, sendo os alimentos cozidos preferidos por 79%; 33% dos cuidadores atribuíram a causa da FD a exemplos inadequados de alimentação familiar e 32% admitiram dificuldades em manter a criança focada durante a alimentação. A maioria dos cuidadores relatou que a FD não afeta ou tem pouco efeito na dinâmica familiar ou na vida escolar da criança. Os cuidadores relataram oferecer outro alimento para substituir o recusado (42%), insistindo em oferecer um novo alimento (30%) e buscando orientação de um pediatra (50%) ou nutricionista (28%), que aconselham repetidamente oferecer novos alimentos de diferentes formas/preparações (41%); 70% dos cuidadores mantêm consulta com o mesmo pediatra após o diagnóstico de DF. Como resultado da FD, 86% dos cuidadores temem que seus filhos desenvolvam "baixa imunidade" e adoeçam. Conclusões: A DF nos primeiros anos de vida é predominante no Brasil, causando preocupações para os cuidadores dessas crianças.Research, Society and Development2022-10-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3512610.33448/rsd-v11i13.35126Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 13; e180111335126Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 13; e180111335126Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 13; e1801113351262525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/35126/29788Copyright (c) 2022 Carlos Alberto Nogueira-de-Almeida; Luiz Antonio Del Ciampo; Fábio da Veiga Ued; Ivan Savioli Ferraz; Andrea Aparecida Contini; Matias Epifanio; Mauro Fisberghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNogueira-de-Almeida, Carlos AlbertoDel Ciampo, Luiz AntonioUed, Fábio da VeigaFerraz, Ivan SavioliContini, Andrea AparecidaEpifanio, MatiasFisberg, Mauro2022-10-17T13:43:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/35126Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:50:09.294882Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
