Özet:

 Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of mothers democratic, authoritarian, permissive, and overprotective parenting styles in childhood obesity and mothers perception of their childrens body weight. Method: The research was cross-sectional in design, and a total of 94 children aged between two and six years were included, together with their mothers. Mothers were administered the Parental Attitude Scale, and childrens Body Mass Index BMI was classified using age- gender-specific tables of the International Obesity Task Force IOTF. The effect of mothers parental attitudes on their childrens BMI groups was evaluated. However, mothers matched their childs appearance to the appearance they thought corresponded to the age and gender-specific weight plot and mothers weight perceptions were evaluated. Results: The prevalence of overweight-obesity among children was found to be 19.2. There wasnt statistically difference between democratic, authoritarian, overprotective and permissive parenting styles and BMI categories of children p0.819, p0.878, p0.319, p0.494. The mothers of overweight-obese children perceived their children as significantly overweight compared to other children p0.001, they associated their overweight-obese children with the normal body weight imagery. Mothers of children with a normal body weight also selected thinner child images to represent their own child. Conclusion: Mothers of children with normal body weight and overweight-obese BMI, perceived their childrens body weight as thinner than it actually was. Its recommended that mothers perceptions of their childrens body weight be assessed in well-child clinics. In cases where these perceptions are inaccurate, mothers should be informed and provided with educational materials.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı annelerin demokratik, otoriter, izin verici ve aşırı korumacı ebeveyn tutumlarının çocukluk çağı obezitesindeki rolünü ve annelerin çocuklarının kilo durumuna ilişkin algısını değerlendirmektir. Metot: Araştırma kesitsel tipte olup, 2-6 yaş arası 94 çocuk anneleriyle birlikte çalışmaya dahil edildi. Annelere Ebeveyn Tutum Ölçeği uygulandı ve çocukların Beden Kitle İndeksi BKİ, Uluslararası Obezite Çalışma Grubunun yaşa ve cinsiyete özel tabloları kullanılarak sınıflandırıldı. Annelerin ebeveyn tutumlarının, çocuklarının BKİ grupları üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirildi. Aynı zamanda anneler, çocuklarının görünümünü, yaşa ve cinsiyete özel ağırlık çiziminde, karşılık geldiğini düşündükleri görünümle eşleştirdi. Annelerin kilo algıları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çocukların 19,2si fazla kilolu-obez olarak sınıflandırıldı. Annelerin demokratik, otoriter, aşırı korumacı ve izin verici ebeveyn tutumları ile çocukların BKİ kategorileri arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı p0,819, p0,878, p0,319, p0,494. Fazla kilolu-obez çocukların anneleri, çocuklarını diğer çocuklara göre anlamlı derecede kilolu olarak algılamakla birlikte p0,001, fazla kilolu-obez çocuklarını normal kilo çizimi ilişkilendirdiler. Benzer durum, normal ağırlıktaki çocukların annelerinde de görülmüş olup çocuklarını olduklarından daha zayıf çocuk çizimleri ile eşleştirdiler. Sonuç: Annelerin ebeveyn tutumlarının, çocuklarının BKİ kategorileri üzerinde etkisi olmadığı görüldü ancak normal ve fazla kilolu-obez çocukların annelerinin, çocuklarını olduğundan daha zayıf görme eğiliminde olduğu saptandı. Sağlam çocuk kliniklerinde annelerin kilo algıları değerlendirilmelidir, hatalı algılamaları durumunda anneler bilgilendirilmeli, konuyla ilgili eğitim broşürleri verilmelidir.
