The Relationship between Parental Support for Child Healthy Eating and Healthy Eating Self-Efficacy
Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between family support for healthy eating and healthy eating self-efficacy.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted as descriptive and relational. A total of 621 students aged 8-10 attending the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study. Data were collected using the “Descriptive Information Form”, “Healthy Eating Family Support Scale” and “Healthy Eating Self-Efficacy Scale”. The demographic data were analyzed using the numbers and percentages. The relationship between family support for healthy eating and self-efficacy for healthy eating was evaluated by Pearson correlation coefficients, and the effect of family support for healthy eating on healthy eating self-efficacy was evaluated by simple regression analysis.
Results: When the family support scale for healthy eating of children is examined between the total score averages and the total score averages of healthy eating self-efficacy scale; the family support scale for healthy eating has been determined to have a medium positive relationship between the total score averages of children and the total score averages of healthy eating self-efficacy (respectively; r=0.489; β=0.489; p<0.001), and 24% of the factors affecting healthy eating self-efficacy of children were described with the average family support points for healthy eating of children (F=194.651, p<0.001).
Conclusion: As a result of this study; as children's family support for healthy eating increases, their healthy eating self-efficacy increases. In addition, family support for healthy eating predicts healthy eating self-efficacy.
