Abstract

Introduction

Despite increasing global migration, children from migrant backgrounds are underrepresented in physical activity research. This systematic review aimed to consolidate existing qualitative evidence on parental perceptions of the benefits, barriers, and facilitators of promoting physical activity and limiting sedentary behavior of their first- or second-generation migrant children aged 0–6 years.

Methods

Six electronic databases (Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, Global, and Health EMBASE) were searched for qualitative peer-reviewed English language studies using terms covering migrants, parents, perceptions, physical activity, and sedentary behavior. Analysis was guided by the best-fit framework synthesis approach and the socio-ecological model.

Results

Database searches yielded 6059 unique records, with 33 studies included in this review. Key parent perceived benefits of physical activity were better health outcomes, development, and long-term outcomes and perceived benefits of sedentary behavior were education, health and development, and a parenting tool to keep children calm and occupied. Eight themes (25 sub-themes) across four levels of the socio-ecological model (primarily interpersonal and community level) were identified as barriers and facilitators of physical activity. Seven themes (14 sub-themes: primarily interpersonal) were identified for sedentary behavior.

Conclusion

Parents from migrant backgrounds perceived that their young children experienced some unique barriers to physical activity and sedentary behavior.

流动父母对幼儿体育活动和久坐行为的好处、障碍和促进因素的看法：对定性研究的系统回顾。

导言：尽管全球移民不断增加，但来自移民背景的儿童在体育活动研究中的代表性不足。本系统综述旨在巩固现有的定性证据，即父母对促进0-6岁第一代或第二代流动儿童体育活动和限制久坐行为的好处、障碍和促进因素的看法。方法：检索六个电子数据库（Medline、CINAHL、PsycINFO、SPORTDiscus、Global和Health EMBASE），检索涉及移民、父母、观念、身体活动和久坐行为等术语的定性同行评议英语研究。分析以最合适的框架综合方法和社会生态模型为指导。结果：数据库检索产生6059条独特记录，其中33项研究纳入本综述。家长认为体育活动的主要好处是更好的健康结果、发展和长期结果，而久坐行为的主要好处是教育、健康和发展，以及让孩子保持冷静和专注的育儿工具。社会生态模型的四个层面（主要是人际和社区层面）的八个主题（25个子主题）被确定为身体活动的障碍和促进因素。确定了7个主题（14个子主题：主要是人际关系）与久坐行为有关。结论：来自移民背景的父母认为他们的孩子在身体活动和久坐行为方面经历了一些独特的障碍。

期刊介绍： Obesity Reviews is a monthly journal publishing reviews on all disciplines related to obesity and its comorbidities. This includes basic and behavioral sciences, clinical treatment and outcomes, epidemiology, prevention and public health. The journal should, therefore, appeal to all professionals with an interest in obesity and its comorbidities. Review types may include systematic narrative reviews, quantitative meta-analyses and narrative reviews but all must offer new insights, critical or novel perspectives that will enhance the state of knowledge in the field. The editorial policy is to publish high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts that provide needed new insight into all aspects of obesity and its related comorbidities while minimizing the period between submission and publication.
