Abstract

Introduction

This study assessed counseling by pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) for management of overweight and obesity.

Method

Using a cross-sectional design, 1,058 PNPs completed a one-time survey regarding counseling for healthy body weight, physical activity, and consumption of protein, fruits and vegetables.

Results

Study findings suggest PNPs are using behavioral counseling for weight management in pediatric patients. Counseling was more frequent for healthy body weight, fruit and vegetable intake, and physical activity than for protein consumption and muscle strengthening. Furthermore, when PNPs counseled for healthy body weight they were also more likely to counsel for physical activity (OR = 25.99 [95% CI: 19.25, 35.11]), fruit and vegetable intake (OR = 22.35 [95% CI: 16.71, 29.88]), protein intake (OR = 9.82 [95% CI: 7.60, 12.69]), and muscle strengthening (OR = 6.41 [95% CI: 4.98, 8.24]).

Discussion

PNPs are counseling for healthy body weight and necessary behavioral tools, but increased emphasis on muscle strengthening may benefit overweight and obese youth.

儿科执业护士的体重管理行为咨询：定量横断面研究

简介：本研究评估了儿科执业护士（PNPs）在管理超重和肥胖方面提供的咨询服务：这项研究评估了儿科执业护士（PNPs）在管理超重和肥胖方面提供的咨询服务：方法：采用横断面设计，1,058 名儿科执业护士完成了一项一次性调查，内容涉及健康体重、体育锻炼、蛋白质、水果和蔬菜摄入量等方面的咨询：研究结果：研究结果表明，PNP 正在对儿科患者的体重管理进行行为咨询。对健康体重、水果和蔬菜摄入量以及体育锻炼的咨询比对蛋白质摄入量和增强肌肉的咨询更为频繁。此外，当 PNP 对健康体重进行咨询时，他们也更有可能对体育活动（OR = 25.99 [95% CI: 19.25, 35.11]）、水果和蔬菜摄入量（OR = 22.35 [95% CI: 16.71, 29.88]）、蛋白质摄入量（OR = 9.82 [95% CI: 7.60, 12.69]）和肌肉力量（OR = 6.41 [95% CI: 4.98, 8.24]）进行咨询：讨论：PNP 是健康体重的咨询和必要的行为工具，但加强对肌肉强化的重视可能对超重和肥胖青少年有益。
