Prevalence of pre-school children overweight and obesity is increasing. The high-calorie diet feeding behaviors in parents are closely related to overweight and obesity in pre-school children. The purpose of this study was to explore the related factors and the explanatory factors of high-calorie diet feeding behaviors of preschool children in parents. This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 298 parents of the preschool children aged 3-6 years were selected by convenience sampling. Structured questionnaires including attitude of avoiding high-calorie diet feeding behaviors scale, subjective norm of avoiding highcalorie diet feeding behaviors scale, perceived behavioral control of avoiding high-calorie diet feeding behaviors scale, and high-calorie diet feeding behavior scale were used to collect data. Among 267 particiapnts who completed the questionnaires, 231 questionnaires were valid, with response rate was 89.6%. Descriptive, interference statistics, pearson’s correlation, and multiple stepwise regressions were used to analyze data. The results revraled (1) the high-calorie diet feeding behaviors in the family of low socioeconomic status is frequent than those of family with high socioeconomic status. (2) the more positive attitude of high-calorie diet feeding behaviors, postive subjective norm of high-calorie diet feeding behaviors, and positive perceived behavioral control of high-calorie diet feeding behaviors, the fewer high-calorie diet feeding behaviors were found in parents. (3) perceived behavioral control, family socioeconomic status, and subjective norm were important explanatory factors of the high-calorie diet feeding behaviors of parents. These variables accounted for 11.6% variance of the high-calorie diet feeding behaviors. Findings of this study could help healthcare providers design education to reduce highcalorie diet feeding behavior of preschool children in parents. |
