Çocukların Sebze ve Meyve Tüketim Durumu: Anne ve Çocuk Görüşleri

Çalışmanın amacı, anne ve çocuk görüşlerine göre çocuğun sebze ve meyve tüketim durumlarını belirlemektir. Çalışma evreninde yer alan 48 - 72 ay grubu çocuk arasından uygun örnekleme yöntemi ile 229 çocuk ve anneye ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada, çocukların besin grupları tercihinde; meyve grubunu daha çok sebze grubunu daha az tercih ettikleri hem anne hem de çocuk görüşlerinde bildirilmiştir. Çocukların sebze ve meyve tüketim durumunu belirlemek için; kereviz, enginar, brokoli, karnabahar, pırasa, ıspanak, taze fasulye, domates, havuç, salatalık olmak üzere on sebze ve portakal, üzüm, kavun, erik, şeftali, çilek, mandalina, muz, karpuz, elma olmak üzere on meyve seçilmiştir. Anne ve çocuk görüşlerine göre, çocukların sebzelerden daha çok enginar, kereviz, brokoli, pırasa, karnabaharı tüketmedikleri, tüketmeme nedeni ise bunları hiç yememiş olması ve tadı olarak belirlenmiştir. Meyvelerden ise, çocukların daha çok anne görüşlerine göre, portakal, üzüm, kavun, eriği, çocuk görüşlerine göre ise, erik, kavun, şeftaliyi tüketmedikleri saptanmıştır. Tüketmeme nedenleri daha çok tadı olarak belirtilmiştir. Eğitim kurumlarında ve evlerde çeşitli etkinliklerle, farklı pişirme teknikleri ve ilginç sunumlarla çocukların yemedikleri sebze ve meyvelerin tüketimleri arttırılabilir.

Children's Vegetable and Fruit Consumption: Mother and Child Opinions

This study aimed to determine children’s vegetable and fruit consumption according to mother and child opinions. 229 children from among the 48-72 month-old-children in the study population and their mothers were contacted with convenience sampling. In children’s food group preference, both the mothers and the children reported higher preference for fruits and lower preference for vegetables. Ten vegetables (celery, artichoke, broccoli, cauliflower, leek, spinach, green bean, tomato, carrot and cucumber) and ten fruits (orange, grape, melon, plum, peach, strawberry, mandarin orange, banana, watermelon and apple) were selected to investigate children’s vegetable and fruit consumption. According to mother and child opinions, the vegetables the children generally did not eat were artichoke, celery, broccoli, leek and cauliflower due to such reasons as lack of prior experience or their taste. The fruits the children did not eat were orange, grape, melon and plum according to the mothers and plum, melon and peach according to the children. The reasons for not eating were reported as their taste. The consumption of vegetables and fruits children do not eat can be promoted through various activities at schools and homes, different cooking methods and interesting presentations.
