Özet:
Objective: To evaluate and determine the effectiveness of parent involvement in the Families in Transformation (FIT) child wellness program.
Methods: Families in Transformation (FIT) is an 8-week child wellness program utilizing physical activity and nutrition education for families. Eighteen children between the ages of 7-13, of both sexes and their families participated. A single group pre-/post- test design was used, using nutrition and fitness knowledge assessments and health habit surveys. Anthropometric and food frequency data was gathered on the children. A parent satisfaction survey was administered the past night of the program, and both parents and children were given food frequency questionnaires once weekly.
Results: A Chi square analysis revealed modest improvements in several of the parents' health habits, and both parents and children improved on the pre- and post- nutrition and fitness knowledge quiz. Correlation coefficients on the mean food frequency responses versus weeks in the program revealed modest improvements in the children' eating habits, though the parents did not show improvement. Post- program anthropometric data revealed no significant improvement in the children. Results for the parent satisfaction survey was almost universally positive.
Conclusion: Feedback from parents revealed overall satisfaction with the program. Family wellness preventions and interventions offering nutrition education for the whole family and involving the whole family in physical activity together may lead to more positive outcomes than programs focused solely on children.
