Abstract

Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluate the eating patterns of children as well as parental anxiety on virus transmission along with associated factors in the first month of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to compare the results to pre-epidemic patterns. Materials and Methods: This study was planned as a multi-center (n=8), cross-sectional study. Informed consent forms and questionnaires were sent to the parents of the children between the ages of 6 and 18 years who applied to the study centers and accepted study participation via e-mail or instant messaging applications. Results: During the study period, 893 children with a mean age of 11.1 years (standard deviation=3.4) were enrolled. More than half (50.7%, n=453) were girls. The majority of families reported no change in eating patterns of their children in the first month of the pandemic (63.6%, n=568). More than one-fifth (21.4%, n=191) reported an improvement in eating patterns while 15.0% reported worsening. A significant minority of parents (40.0%) reported feeling “very anxious” for potential risk of transmission to themselves or their children. Parents with higher levels of anxiety were significantly younger and had lower levels of education (p

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamız Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) salgınının birinci ayında çocukların yeme düzenlerini, ebeveynlerinin koronavirüsü bulaşma riski ile ilgili kaygılarını ve bu kaygı ile ilişkili etkenlerin değerlendirilmesini ve salgın öncesi ile karşılaştırılmasını amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma çok merkezli (n=8) ve kesitsel olarak planlanmıştır. Çalışma merkezlerine başvuran 6-18 yaş arası çocukların ailelerinden çalışmaya katılmayı kabul edenlere bilgilendirilmiş gönüllü olur formu ve anketleri içeren bilgiler, e-posta veya mesajlaşma yoluyla iletilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya ortalama 11,1 yaşında (standart sapma=3,4) 893 çocuk dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmaya dahil edilen çocukların %50,7’si (n=453) kızdır. Ailelerin çoğu, salgının birinci ayında çocuklarının yeme düzeninde değişiklik bildirmezken (%63,6, n=568), %21,4’ü çocuklarının yeme düzeninin daha iyi, %15,0’ı ise daha kötü olduğunu bildirmiştir. Ebeveynlerin %40.0’ı kendileri veya çocuklarına virüs bulaşmasından “çok kaygılı” olduğunu belirtmiştir. Kaygı düzeyi yüksek olan ebeveynler, düşük olanlara göre anlamlı derecede daha genç ve düşük eğitimlidir (sırasıyla; p
