Abstract

Objective To explore the correlation between eating behaviors of preschoolers and nutrition-related knowledge,attitudes and practices of preschool educators,so as to provide reference for the early intervention on preschoolers′ eating behaviors. Methods Totally 230 preschoolers from a public kindergarten and a private kindergarten in Hengyang were selected to investigate the eating behaviors of preschoolers and nutrition-related knowledge,attitude,and practice of preschool educators from December 2018 to January 2019.One-way ANOVA,independent sample t-test and multivariate stepwise regression analysis were used to explore the relationship between preschoolers′ eating behaviors and nutrition-related knowledge,attitude,and practice of preschool educators. Results The top three eating behaviors of preschoolers were initiative eating behavior,food fussiness and unhealthy eating habits.There were significant differences on initiative eating behaviors among children of different ages (F=5.394,P＜0.05).Unhealthy eating habits(b=-0.866) and initiative eating behavior(b=1.262) showed negative and positive correlation with preschoolers′ average age in one class,respectively(P＜0.05).External eating(b=0.569) and emotional eating(b=0.527) were positively correlated with nutritional practices of preschool educators (b=0.638,P＜0.05).Preschoolers′ eating behaviors were positively correlated with nutrition-related knowledge,attitude,and practice of preschool educators (P＜0.05). Conclusions Eating behavior problems are common among preschoolers,which could be influenced by nutrition-related knowledge,attitude,and practice of preschool educators.Nutrition training should be conducted among preschool educators and the long-term supervision and feedback mechanism of"homes" education should be established.
