Özet:

 Aim: The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of the attitudes and behaviors of their parents and other family elders on the nutritional behaviors of preschool children. Method: The research was carried out on 271 parents who worked at Başkent University Campus between April 2022 and June 2022, spent time with grandparents, and had healthy children in the pre-school period. Parents age, education, working and income status, family types, how often they spend time with grandparents, eating habits with parents and grandparents were recorded in the questionnaire, and the Body Mass Index BMI values of the children were calculated. By applying the Family Nutrition Physical Activity ABFA scale, the effect of family behavior on childrens nutrition and physical activity status was examined. Results: The mean age of the parents was 34.25.20 years, and 55.4 of the families were extended families and 44.6 were nucleus families. According to the BMI classification of the children, 13 of the girls were underweight, 5.8 were overweight and 14.5 were obese; 13.5 of the men were underweight, 3 were overweight, and 8.3 were obese. The distribution of BMI classification of children according to family type was found to be higher in terms of both underweight 14 and 12.4, respectively and obesity 13.3 and 9.1, respectively of children in extended families, but statistically significant difference was not found p0.05. It was determined that the frequency of obesity was in the children of parents with the highest in high school education and the frequency of underweight was in the children of parents with the highest primary education p0.05. It was determined that 72.7 of family elders in the extended family interfere with child nutrition, with a moderate effect level of 50.4. Moreover, children in an extended family environment tend to choose food more frequently than those living in a nuclear family environment. The mean ABFA score was found to be lower in the nuclear type compared to the extended family type p0.05. Conclusion: In addition to the influence of parents in the formation of healthy eating habits in childhood, the influence of grandparents in the extended family is also of great importance.

 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi çocukların beslenme davranışları üzerinde ebeveynlerinin ve diğer aile büyüklerinin sergiledikleri tutum ve davranışlarının etkilerinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Araştırma, Nisan 2022Haziran 2022 tarihleri arasında Başkent Üniversitesi Kampüsünde çalışan, aile büyükleri ile zaman geçiren, okul öncesi dönemde sağlıklı çocuğa sahip 271 ebeveyn ile yürütülmüştür. Ebeveynlerin yaş, eğitim, çalışma ve gelir durumları, aile tipleri, aile büyükleri ile ne sıklıkla vakit geçirdikleri, ebeveynlerin yanında ve aile büyüklerinin yanındaki beslenme alışkanlıkları anket formuna kaydedilmiş, çocukların Beden Kütle İndeksBKİ değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Aile Beslenme Fiziksel AktiviteABFA ölçeği uygulanarak çocukların hem beslenme hem de fiziksel aktivite durumlarına ailenin davranışlarının etkisi incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin yaş ortalaması 34.25.20 yıl olarak saptanmış, ailelerin 55.4ünün geniş aile, 44.6sının da çekirdek aile olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çocukların BKİ sınıflandırmasına göre kızların 13ünün zayıf, 5.8inin hafif şişman, 14.5inin şişman; erkeklerin ise 13.5inin zayıf, 3ünün hafif şişman, 8.3ünün de şişman olduğu saptanmıştır. Aile tipine göre çocukların BKİ sınıflandırma dağılımı ise geniş ailedeki çocukların çekirdek ailedeki göre hem zayıflık sırasıyla 14 ve 12.4, hem de şişmanlık sırasıyla 13.3 ve 9.1 sıklığı daha yüksek olduğu görülmüş ancak istatistiksel olarak önemli bir fark bulunmamıştır p0,05. Obezite sıklığının en yüksek lise eğitimli ebeveynlerin çocuklarında, zayıflık sıklığının ise en yüksek ilköğretim mezunu ebeveynlerin çocuklarında olduğu gözlemlenmiştir p0,05. Geniş ailede aile büyüklerinin 72.7sinin çocuk beslenmesine müdahale ettikleri, etki düzeylerinin 50.4 ile orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Geniş aile ortamında bulunan çocukların çekirdek aile ortamında yaşayanlara göre daha yüksek sıklıkta yemek seçtiği belirlenmiştir. ABFA puan ortalaması geniş aile tipine göre çekirdek tipinde daha düşük olduğu gözlemlenmiştir p0,05. Sonuç: Çocukluk çağında, sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının oluşmasında anne-babanın etkisinin yanında geniş ailedeki aile büyüklerinin etkisi de büyük önem taşımaktadır.
