- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Complementary feeding of infants in their first year of life: focus on the main pureed baby foods(Associação Médica Brasileira, 2014-06-01) Souza, Fabíola Isabel Suano de; Caetano, Michelle Cavalcante [UNIFESP]; Ortiz, Thaís Tobaruela; Silva, Simone Guerra Lopes da; Sarni, Roseli Oselka Saccardo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); School of Medicine of ABC Department of PediatricsObjective:to evaluate the complementary feeding practices for infants, focusing on the main pureed baby foods, and verify adherence to the guidelines adopted in Brazil. Methods:through cross-sectional study, aspects of complementary feeding of 404 healthy infants between 4 and 9 months of age (São Paulo, Curitiba and Recife) were evaluated. Socio-demographic data, history and food habits were collected. Mothers described three recipes (preparations) usually used in key baby foods. The findings were compared with those recommended by the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics. Results:the average age was 6.9±1.6 months. Among infants, 241/404 (59.6%) were still breastfeeding. Among those who received another type of milk, 193/368 (52.4%) received whole cow's milk, while 151/368 (41.0%) drank infant or follow-on formulas. Regarding baby food recipes salted reported by mothers, it was seen that 30% and 60% contained meat and vegetables, respectively. The percentages less suitable for feeding in general were observed for use of cow's milk and added sugar, chocolate and cereal in feeding bottles; 79% and 80.5% of the families interviewed would adopted such practices. Conclusion:the early termination of exclusive/predominant breastfeeding and the practice of an inadequate transition diet have shown a picture of quantitatively and qualitatively inadequate feeding, with the risk of causing serious nutritional problems in later ages, such as anemia and vitamin A deficiency, or excess of nutrients, leading to obesity, diabetes and dyslipidemias.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Conhecimentos de educadores de creches sobre alimentação infantil(Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo, 2008-09-01) Shimabukuro, Elaine Emy [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Mariana de Novaes [UNIFESP]; Taddei, Jose Augusto de Aguiar Carrazedo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVE: To assess daycare centers educators' knowledge on feeding during the first year of life. METHODS: Cross-sectional study comprising 137 educators from eight daycare centers of São Paulo city (Brazil) selected from the universe of 36 daycare centers linked to Santo Amaro Coordination. Selection was based on Beghin's methodology. In order to assess educators' knowledge on feeding a structured, previously codified and tested questionnaire was built with true/false and multiple choices questions and applied. Chi-square test was used to test association between selected variables, being significant p<0.05. RESULTS: Educators' ages ranged from 19 to 66, with a median of 38 years; 41.3% had completed university education. Regarding errors for questions on breastfeeding, artificial lactation, complementary feeding and the sum of all questions about infant feeding, the median and standard deviation (sd) were respectively: 3 (sd=1.75); 2 (sd=0.87); 2 (sd= 0.96) and 7 (sd=2.65). CONCLUSIONS: Continuous action programs and improvement of intersectorial actions involving multidisciplinary teams and local daycare centers are required, since solely the knowledge incorporated into practice is not sufficient to promote good feeding and healthy eating habits for the proper growth and development of the assisted children.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosConsumo alimentar e estresse de pacientes com síndrome coronariana aguda(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2014-07-06) Brunori, Evelise Helena Fadini Reis [UNIFESP]; Barros, Alba Lucia Bottura Leite de Barros [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Knowledge of the distribution of risk factors (RF) for cardiovascular disease among individuals hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) enables the strategic planning of educational interventions for primary and secondary prevention to patients and their families in order to minimize the impact of these factors. The general objective of the study was to characterize individuals hospitalized for ACS and the FR for coronary artery disease. The specific objectives were to identify the sociodemographic profile; Identify weight, height, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, blood glucose and lipid profile, identify the level of tobacco dependence; Identify the degree of alcohol consumption; Identify the level of activity / exercise; identify the association of the variables with the type of medical diagnosis (acute myocardial infarction with or without ST-segment elevation or unstable angina); to verify the association between the number of coronary lesions and the type of medical diagnosis; to verify the association between the types of treatment and type of medical diagnosis; to verify the association between education and income. A descriptive cross-sectional assessment of 150 hospitalized patients with the first event of ACS was performed. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected by interview and chart review. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Fagerström nicotine dependence Test, Alcohol Disorder Identification Test. There was a predominance of male gender, white color, Catholics, with elementary education, marital status married, monthly income of 2- 3 minimum wages, overweight and obesity, increased waist-hip ratio in women, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes and elevated fasting glucose. There was an association between education and income. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with ST-segment elevation (SSE) prevailed, and angioplasty as treatment. A higher proportion of male gender association with AMI with SSE was observed and female gender with unstable angina (UA), hypertension with AI, and LDL with AMI. Clinical treatment was associated with AI and angioplasty of the anterior descending and right coronary artery was associated with AMI with SSE. Most patients were active smokers, with very high dependence, and alcohol consumption at low risk. There was no association between physical activity, smoking and alcohol ingestion with different presentations of ACS. Given this characterization, health education measures should be implemented by nurses to patients and families in order to minimize the impact of these factors. These data, with data from a previous study, which characterized relatives of individuals with ACS substantiate the educational activities of the Health Education Outpatient Setting of Paulista School of Nursing.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Percepção das mães sobre a importância das práticas alimentares no tratamento da constipação crônica funcional(Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo, 2009-03-01) Pereira, Vivian Palo; Medeiros, Lilian Cristiane S.; Speridião, Patrícia da Graça Leite [UNIFESP]; Lisboa, Valéria Cristina A.; Tahan, Soraia [UNIFESP]; Morais, Mauro Batista de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVE: Analyze the meaning of feeding habits according to the perceptions, experiences and values of mothers whose children and teenagers present functional chronic constipation. METHODS: 17 mothers were interviewed based on a semi-conducted questionnaire about feeding habits. The answers were gathered as following: family environment during meals, difficulties related to the eating habits of the teenager/child, the mothers' attitude regarding food rejection and mothers' knowledge about feeding and its relation to functional chronic constipation. RESULTS: The age of the mothers varied from 20 to 30 years, they had not finished high school and had an income of two to three minimum wages. The following problems aroused from their answers: most of them did not consider sharing meals with their families a pleasant time; financial constrains are the biggest obstacle to feed their children; when their children refuse to eat, most of them adopt strategies to convince them to eat; mothers do have some knowledge about the importance of the intake of different kinds of food to improve their children condition; they believe that certain kinds of food contribute to constipation. CONCLUSIONS: Despite knowing that the diet is important to the treatment of constipation, just a few mothers acknowledge the importance of dietary fiber. Meals are not a pleasant time for the families and financial problems limit the choice of proper food for these children.
