Prehranjevalne navade predšolskih otrok : diplomska naloga

Miloševič, Katja (author), Kostanjevec, Stojan (mentor), Erjavšek, Martina (co-mentor)

Prehranjevalne navade si otroci pridobijo v prvih letih življenja, zato je priporočljivo, da so že v najzgodnejših letih deležni čim bolj raznolike prehrane ter vključeni v okolje, ki zagotavlja oblikovanje zdravih prehranjevalnih navad. V diplomski nalogi smo ugotavljali, kakšne prehranjevalne navade imajo predšolski otroci po oceni njihovih staršev. Namen diplomske naloge je ugotoviti, ali se pojavljajo razlike v prehranjevalnih navadah med otroki prve in druge starostne skupine. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 100 staršev predšolskih otrok iz ljubljanskih vrtcev. Podatke smo pridobili z anketiranjem staršev. Rezultati so pokazali, da med otroki prve in druge starostne skupine ni pomembnih razlik v prehranjevalnih navadah. Večina otrok obeh starostnih skupin zajtrkuje in uživa popoldansko malico v vrtcu, prav tako večina otrok vsak dan večerja. Tako so rezultati pokazali, da otroci, tako med tednom kot med vikendom, zaužijejo v povprečju 5 obrokov na dan. Prostor, kjer v domačem okolju najpogosteje uživajo obroke, pa je v večini za mizo, skupaj z družino. Starši pripravljajo otrokom zdrave prigrizke. Starejši otroci večkrat zaužijejo tudi sladke prigrizke, kot so piškoti, čokolada, bonboni. Sadje uživajo pogosteje kot zelenjavo. Kljub temu da otroci med tednom doma zaužijejo manj obrokov kot v vrtcu, je pomembno, da starši na ustrezen način poskrbijo za zdravo prehrano v domačem okolju. Pomembno je, da je prehrana uravnotežena in da jo otroci uživajo v prijetnem družinskem okolju. Starši morajo poskrbeti za spodbujevalne dejavnike, ki bodo spodbujali zdravo prehranjevanje otrok in drugih družinskih članov.

• Title: Eating habits of preschool children

Abstract

Children gain their eating habits in the first years of their lives. Therefore it is essential to offer them a variety of food from an early age and to introduce them to healthy eating habits. The purpose of this diploma thesis is to determine what kind of eating habits preschool children have according to their parents' evaluation and whether there are any differences in eating habits between the two age groups (2 and 4-year-olds). 100 questionnaires were distributed to children's parents. The results have shown no statistically important differences in eating habits between the two age groups. The majority of 2 and 4-year old children eat their breakfast and aftenoon meal in the kindergarten and most children eat dinner every day. On average children are served 5 meals a day. When at home most children consume their meals at the dinning table together with their families. Parents provide their children with healthy snacks. Older children consume more high sugar content snacks, e. g. biscuits, chocolate and candies. They consume fruit more often than vegetables. Even though children have more meals in the kindergarten it is essential for parents to provide them with healthy food in their households. The nutrition should be well balanced and consumed in a pleasant environment. Parents should encourage their children and other family members to have a healthy nutrition.
