Giriş: Ebeveyn algıları çocuklarda olumlu sağlık davranışlarının gelişiminde önemli bir role sahiptir. Ailelerin fiziksel aktivite inançlarının çocukların fiziksel aktivite davranışlarıyla doğrudan ilişkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Ailelerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri fiziksel aktivite algılarını etkileyebilir. Bu çalışma, nörogelişimsel bozukluğu olan çocukların ailelerinin fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ile fiziksel aktivite algısı arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Materyal ve Metotlar: Çalışmaya 2-6 yaş aralığında nörogelişimsel bozukluğu olan çocukların ebeveynleri dahil edildi. Ailelerin yaş, cinsiyet, gelir durumu ve eğitim düzeyi gibi özellikleri sosyodemografik form ile belirlendi. Ebeveynlerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyini belirlemek için Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi kullanıldı ve fiziksel aktivite algılarını ölçmek için Ebeveyn Fiziksel Aktivite Algıları Ölçeği kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya yaş ortalamaları 36,47±6,14 yıl olan 62 kadın ve 21 erkek olmak üzere toplam 83 ebeveyn dahil edildi. Ebeveynlerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri inaktif kategoride %23,3, minimal aktif kategoride %54,7 ve çok aktif kategoride %22,1 olarak bulundu. Ebeveynlerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile fiziksel aktivite algılarının toplam sonuçları (p=0,04, r=0,224) ve fiziksel aktivite yararları (p=0,04, r=0,219) arasında düşük düzeyde pozitif korelasyon olduğu sonucuna varıldı.
Sonuç: Ailelerin fiziksel aktivite seviyeleri ile fiziksel aktiviteye ilişkin algıları ile ilişkili olabilir. Ebeveynlerin fiziksel aktiviteye ilişkin algılarını iyileştirmek, çocukların fiziksel aktivite davranışlarını da olumlu yönde etkileyebilir.

Examination of the relationship between physical activity level and physical activity perception of families of children with neurodevelopmental disorders

Öz

Introduction: Parental perceptions have an important role in the development of positive health behaviors in children. It is known that families' physical activity beliefs are directly related to children's physical activity behaviors. Physical activity levels of families may affect their perception of physical activity. This study aims to investigate of the relationship between physical activity level and physical activity perception of families of children with neurodevelopmental disorder.
Materials and Methods: Parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders between the ages of 2 and 6 were included in the study. Families’ characteristics, such as age, gender, income status and education level were determined by the sociodemographic form. International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to determine the physical activity level of the parents, and the Parent Perceptions of Physical Activity Scale was used to measure their perceptions of physical activity.
Results: A total of 83 parents, 62 mother and 21 father with a mean age of 36.47±6.14 years were included in the study. physical activity levels of the parents were %23.3 in the inactive category, %54.7 in the minimal active category and %22.1 in the highly active category. It was concluded that there was a weak level of positive correlation between the physical activity levels of the parents and the total results of physical activity perceptions (p=0.04, r=0.224) and physical activity benefits (p=0.04, r=0.219).
Conclusion: It may be related to families' physical activity levels and their perceptions of physical activity. Improving parents’ perception of physical activity can also positively affect children’s physical activity behaviors.
