Abstract

Purpose: Obesity among children from low-income families is becoming a social problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an obesity prevention program that included physical activity, nutrition education, behavioral modification, and primary caregiver participation components among children from low-income families.

Methods: The study analyzed a nonequivalent control group using a pretest-posttest design. A total of 77 children were recruited from six community childcare centers using purposive sampling. For the intervention group (n=40), the pretest was administered before the combined intervention program involving the participants' primary caregivers was conducted for 8 weeks. The posttest was conducted immediately after the program and again four weeks after the program.

Results: Flexibility (F=4.64, p=.020), muscular endurance (F=11.22, p<.001), nutritional knowledge scores (F=4.79, p=.010), body image satisfaction scores (F=4.74, p=.012), and self-esteem scores (F=3.81, p=.029) showed significant differences and interactions between group and time for the intervention and control groups.

Conclusion: Strategies to actively engage the primary caregivers of low-income families in children's obesity programs are needed. Obesity prevention programs for children based on the program in this study should be routinely developed, and continuing attention should be given to children from low-income families.

韩国一项针对低收入家庭儿童的综合肥胖预防项目的有效性,该项目包括主要照顾者的参与。
目的:低收入家庭儿童的肥胖正成为一个社会问题。本研究的目的是评估一项肥胖预防计划的有效性,该计划包括体育锻炼、营养教育、行为矫正和主要照顾者的参与,对象是低收入家庭的儿童。方法:采用前测后测设计对非等效对照组进行分析。采用有目的抽样的方法,从六个社区托儿中心共招募了77名儿童。对于干预组(n=40),在涉及参与者主要照顾者的联合干预方案进行8周之前进行预测。后测在项目结束后立即进行,并在项目结束四周后再次进行。结果:干预组与对照组柔韧性(F=4.64, p= 0.020)、肌肉耐力(F=11.22, pp= 0.010)、身体形象满意度得分(F=4.74, p= 0.012)、自尊得分(F=3.81, p= 0.029)在组与时间上存在显著差异和交互作用。结论:需要采取策略,使低收入家庭的主要照顾者积极参与儿童肥胖项目。应在本研究的基础上制定儿童肥胖预防计划,并继续关注低收入家庭的儿童。
