Abstract

Childhood obesity is an important problem due to its increasing prevalance and being a precursor of adult obesity. School-based interventions are methods used to reduce childhood obesity. Because primary education is obligatory and giving the chance to reach all children from each socioeconomic status school-based interventions has an increasing importance.This study is designed to determine the physical activity status and nutritional knowledege of primary school teachers who are also role-model for students. Nutrition knowledge and its source, physical activity status of 143 teachers who are from 15 different cities of Turkey are determined by a self-report questionaire. The nutritional knowledge of 80.9% of the teachers was found to be inadequate whereas only 19.1% of them had adequate knowledge. According to physical activity of the total %77.9 was physically inactive. Eventually we conclude that primary school teachers need to be educated about healthy nutrition and they are physically inactive.

Özet

Çocukluk çağı obezitesi giderek yaygınlaşması ve erişkin dönem obezitesinin bir öncülü olması dolayısı ile önemli bir sorundur. Okul-temelli çalışmalar bu çağdaki obezitenin azaltılması için kullanılan yöntemlerdir. İlköğretim döneminin zorunlu olması ve toplumun her kesiminden çocuğa bu ortam vasıtası ile ulaşılabilmesi okul-temelli yöntemlerin önemini arttırmaktadır. Bu araştırma öğrencilere eğitim veren ve rol-model olan ilköğretim öğretmenlerinin beslenme ve fizik aktivite ile ilgili bilgileri ve durumlarını belirlemek üzere düzenlenmiştir. Onbeş farklı ilde çalışan 143 öğretmenin beslenme bilgileri, bilgi kaynakları ve fizik aktivite durumları anket yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Beslenme bilgi düzeyi olarak öğretmenlerin %80.9'u yetersiz ve %19.1'i ise yeterli olarak bulunmuştur. Beslenme bilgileri daha çok medya kaynaklıdır. Fizik aktivite durumu olarak fizik aktivite düzeyleri yetersiz olanların oranı %77.9 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak öğretmenlerin sağlıklı beslenme konusunda eğitime ihtiyaçları olduğunu ve fizik aktivite düzeylerinin yetersiz olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
