Giriş: Bu araştırma, fazla kilolu ve obez çocuğa sahip annelerin çocuklarının
kilolarını nasıl algıladıklarını ve annelerin çocuklarının kilo problemlerine nasıl
bir yaklaşımda bulunduklarını belirmek amacıyla yapıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, üniversite hastanesinde ve bir devlet hastanesinde
çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden 212 anne ile Nisan-Aralık 2017
tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan anket
formu ile veriler yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplandı. Anket, sırasıyla anne ve
çocuğa ilişkin demografik bilgiler, annelerin çocuklarının kilosuna ilişkin algıları,
annelerin kilosuna yönelik başvuruları ve annelerin kullandıkları yöntemler ve
bu yöntemleri uygularken sahip oldukları tutumlar olmak üzere dört bölümden
oluşmaktadır.
Bulgular: Annelerin yaş ortalaması 35,75 ± 5,56 idi. Annelerin %50’si ortaokul
ve altında eğitim seviyesindeydi. Fazla kilolu veya obez çocukların %52,4’ü kız
olup, çocukların yaş ortalaması 7,94±2,91’di. Ayrıca annelerin %47,6’sı normal
kilolu, %39,2’si fazla kilolu ve %12,3’ü obezdi. Annelerin %54,7’si çocuklarının
kilosunu yanlış algıladı
Sonuç: Çalışma annelerin büyük çoğunluğunun, fazla kilolu ve obez çocuklarının kilosunu yanlış algıladıklarını ve çocuklarını
normal kiloda gördüklerini göstermiştir. Çocuklarının fazla kilolu veya obez olduğunun farkında olan annelerin, çocuğun kilo
