Abstract

Objectives

Having an optimal nutritional status and getting adequate energy and nutrients are important factors that affect the success of the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) and increase survival. The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional status, nutritional intake, and dietary quality among children aged 2 to 14 with CF. We aimed to assess the impact of a nutrition education intervention provided to mothers on these parameters and compare the results with a control group.

Methods

Participants (n = 46) were divided into two groups, one group received nutrition education, the other group did not receive any intervention, and all participants were followed up in the 1st and 3rd months of the study. Each participant completed a questionnaire form prepared by the researcher including general information about the patient, anthropometric data, 3-day dietary intake, and Mediterranean Diet Quality Index.

Results

While the children's Mediterranean Diet Quality Index scores did not change significantly during the study period, the proportion of children in the education group who had adequate nutrition according to body mass index percentile for age increased from 42.0% to 48.0%. In addition, energy (kcal), fat (g), and monounsaturated fatty acids (g) intake, vitamin D, E, K, B6, biotin, and iron intakes of the education group increased significantly during the study (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

This study contributes to the literature by showing that nutrition education given to mothers for CF children, improves the nutritional status of children and increases their energy and nutrient intakes.

改善儿童囊性纤维化患者的饮食质量和营养摄入：营养教育的作用

目的保持良好的营养状态，获得充足的能量和营养是影响囊性纤维化（CF）治疗成功和提高生存率的重要因素。本研究的目的是确定2至14岁患有CF的儿童的营养状况、营养摄入和饮食质量。我们旨在评估向母亲提供营养教育干预对这些参数的影响，并将结果与对照组进行比较。方法将46例研究对象分为两组，一组接受营养教育，另一组不进行任何干预，在研究的第1个月和第3个月进行随访。每位参与者完成一份由研究人员准备的问卷，包括患者的一般信息、人体测量数据、3天饮食摄入量和地中海饮食质量指数。结果在研究期间，儿童的地中海饮食质量指数得分没有明显变化，但根据年龄体重指数百分位数，教育组儿童营养充足的比例从42.0%增加到48.0%。此外，在研究期间，教育组的能量（kcal）、脂肪(g)和单不饱和脂肪酸(g)摄入量以及维生素D、E、K、B6、生物素和铁的摄入量均显著增加(P <；0.05)。结论对CF患儿的母亲进行营养教育，可以改善患儿的营养状况，增加其能量和营养素的摄入量。
