摘要

目的：探讨家庭对饭盒中食物、包装和浪费的看法，以及日常饭盒包装和消费的做法。设计：探索性质的研究，采用半结构化访谈，以批判现实主义认识论为指导。背景：与南澳大利亚家庭的在线访谈。参与者：自选的16名家长（94%为母亲）及其8-12岁的孩子（小学三年级至六年级，60%为女性），来自公立学校（75%）和私立学校（25%），中等（38%）和高（62%）社会经济背景。兴趣现象和变量：影响制作营养和低浪费的学校午餐盒的因素。分析：使用反身性主题方法归纳分析数据，以确定主要主题。结果：产生了三个主要主题：(1)外在因素和学校环境结构；(2)内在因素和动机层次；(3)变革的责任。外部因素影响了家庭午餐盒包装的做法，而个人优先事项则影响了食品和包装的选择。家庭强调家长、学校和更广泛的系统共同承担改善营养和减少包装的责任。结论和启示：本研究为家庭午餐盒实践提供了新的见解。午餐盒实践中先前存在的挑战阻碍了环境可持续性的优先考虑。学校层面的举措应解决障碍，并利用促进因素来支持家庭。需要进一步的研究来整合营养和可持续性议程，并明确推动变革的责任。

Family Perspectives on Packing a Low-Waste and Nutritious School Lunchbox

Objective

To explore family perspectives on food, packaging, and waste in lunchboxes, and the everyday practices of lunchbox packing and consumption.

Design

Exploratory qualitative study using semistructured interviews guided by a critical realist epistemology.

Setting

Online interviews with South Australian families.

Participants

Self-selected sample of 16 parents (94% mothers) and their children aged 8–12 years in primary school grades third through sixth (60% female) from public (75%) and private schools (25%) across medium (38%) and high (62%) socioeconomic backgrounds.

Phenomenon of Interest and Variables

Factors influencing preparation of a nutritious and low-waste school lunchbox.

Analysis

Data were analyzed inductively using a reflexive thematic approach to identify major themes.

Results

Three major themes were generated: (1) extrinsic factors and school environment structures, (2) intrinsic factors and a Hierarchy of Motivations, and (3) responsibility for change. External factors influenced familial lunchbox packing practices, whereas personal priorities shaped food and packaging choices. Families emphasized shared responsibility for improving nutrition and reducing packaging between parents, schools, and broader systems.

Conclusions and Implications

This study provides updated insights into family lunchbox practices. Preexisting challenges in lunchbox practices deter prioritization of environmental sustainability. School-level initiatives should address barriers and leverage enablers to support families. Further research is needed to integrate nutrition and sustainability agendas and clarify responsibility for driving change.
