Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a breast feeding adaptation scale (BFAS) to evaluate adaptation to breastfeeding for breastfeeding mothers and their infants and to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. Methods: The study was conducted as follows: application of the conceptual framework, identification of the content domains, items generation, and test of validity and reliability. In order to test validity and reliability, two panels of experts reviewed items and subcategories of the preliminary questionnaire and then data were collected from 329 mothers who were up to 4 weeks postpartum and breastfeeding. Descriptive statistics, t-test, factor analysis, and Cronbach's alpha were used to analyze the data. Results: The conceptual framework was based on the Roy adaptation model. The content domains were developed via literature review, review of instruments, and data acquired from the interviews of breastfeeding mothers and nurses. A total of 69 items belonging to 8 domains were generated. A reduction to 44 preliminary items was accomplished through content validity analysis. Factor analysis extracted 8 factors with a total of 27 items on a 5-point Likert scale. Content validity, construct validity, criterion validity, and reliability of the BFAS were established. Conclusion: The newly developed BFAS is a reliable and valid instrument with which the adaptation of breastfeeding mothers and their infants to the breastfeeding behavior can be evaluated.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of children's dietary quality, dietary habits, food behavior and health-related lifestyles according to the mother's lifestyles of health and sustainability (LOHAS). The subjects were 580 children. Mother's LOHAS attitude index was 66.85 points and 100 points was a perfect score. The mother's high LOHAS attitude items that children perceived were "My mother often communicates with the family"(3.99 points) and "My mother thinks that the family's health is more important than her health"(3.93 points). In contrast, the LOHAS attitude items for "My mother does community service activity on weekends"(2.78 points), and "My mother participates in environmental protection service activity for the local community"(2.78 points) were very low. The high LOHAS behavior index of mothers was "resource saving", whereas "social welfare" scored low. When self-perceived health status and monthly income of children was high, the mother's LOHAS score was high. The LOHAS attitude index of mothers had a meaningful impact on the children's dietary quality, dietary habits, food behavior and health-related lifestyles. The most frequent food behavior variables were "high skipping rate", "frequency of snacks is 2~4 times per week", "speed of eating is rapid", and 'meals' amount is sufficient. The highest daily life habits item was "I try to maintain a pleasant and enjoyable life style"(3.42 points). The highest nutrient intake attitude score was "I tend to eat rice everyday."(3.41 points). They were highly recognized with "moderate physical activity", "high exercise preference", "positive posture exercise", "exercise <2 days per week", and "over 30 minutes exercise time per day" for the exercise performance status items. It was verified that the higher mother's LOHAS lifestyle score is, the higher children's food behavior, daily life habits, nutrient intake, exercise performance state score are.

Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the eating behavior, growth, and dietary practices of children aged 3~5 years living in the Seoul and Gyeonggi Provinces. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 237 mothers of preschool children between April and June 2018. Z-scores for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age were calculated to determine the children's growth status. Dietary practices were evaluated using the nutrition quotient for Korean preschoolers (NQ-P). Results: In our study, 29.5% of children were in the eating-small-amounts group, 46.8% of children were in the neophobic behavior group, and 61.2% of children were in the refusal-of-specific food group. Specific foods found to have a high frequency of rejection are listed in descending order as follows: shellfish, soy, mushroom, shrimp, vegetables, milk, eggs, yogurt, seaweed, meat, fruits, and fish. The eating-small-amounts group had lower Z-scores for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age than the non-picky eaters' group. Compared to the non-picky eaters' group, the eating-small-amounts group of picky eaters had lower scores on the moderation and environment items of the NQ-P, the neophobic behavior group had lower scores on the balance and environment items of the NQ-P, and the refusal-of-specific food group had lower scores on the balance, moderation, and environment items of the NQ-P. Conclusions: Children classified with picky eating behavior had lower growth and development, lower diet diversity, less balanced food intake, and had greater difficulty in abstaining from eating unhealthy foods than non-picky eaters. Therefore, a lot of patience and intensive efforts are needed to encourage children to encounter, experience, and accept unfamiliar food. It is more effective to provide eating behavior guidance by gently encouraging children, than by being strict and forceful. Besides, since the eating behavior of children is influenced maximally by the dietary lifestyle at their homes, it is important to ensure that a healthy dietary lifestyle is maintained at home.

본 연구는 생애주기 중 성인 대상 영양지수 (NQ for adults) 개발을 목표로 수행되었다. 성인의 식행동과 영양섭취 관련 문헌, 국민건강영양조사 자료, 식생활지침 및 국가 영양정책, 전문가 및 포커스 집단을 대상으로 심층면접을 통해 파일럿 조사용 체크리스트를 개발하였다. 성인 368명을 대상으로 1일의 식사섭취조사와 체크리스트 설문조사를 수행하고, 체크리스트 평가항목과 식사섭취조사결과인 영양섭취 수준 간의 상관관계가 높은 24개 항목을 전국단위 조사용 체크리스트로 선정하여 사용하였다. 전국단위 조사는 주민등록인구통계자료를 활용하여 기본 층화변수로 6개 권역을 설정하고 권역별로 성별, 연령군별 성인 인구수를 기준으로 비례 배분하여 총 1,053명을 대상으로 인터넷 조사를 수행하였다. 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하여 성인 영양지수 평가항목을 21개 항목, 4개 요인으로 분류하고, 구조방정식 모형을 이용해 평가항목의 구성타당도를 검증한 후 추정된 경로계수를 적용하여 가중치를 산출하였다. 성인 NQ를 위한 4개 요인과 가중치는 각각 균형 0.25, 다양 0.25, 절제 0.30, 식행동 0.20이었다. '균형' 영역에는 과일, 달걀, 콩이나 콩제품, 우유 또는 유제품, 견과류, 생선류 섭취 빈도 및 아침 식사 빈도 7개 항목이 포함되었고, '다양' 영역에는 채소 반찬, 물 섭취 빈도와 편식 수준 3개 항목이, '절제' 영역에는 패스트푸드, 라면류, 단음식 또는 달거나 기름진 빵, 가당음료 섭취 빈도, 야식, 외식이나 배달음식 섭취 빈도 6개 항목이, '식행동' 영역에는 영양성분표시 확인, 건강한 식습관 노력 정도, 건강 인지 수준, 30분 이상 운동한 빈도, 음식 먹기 전 손씻기 5개 항목이 포함되었다. 전국단위 조사대상자의 NQ 평균 점수는 53.2점 이었고, 영역별 점수는 균형 38.6점, 다양 55.9점, 절제 67.1점, 식행동 47.0점 이었다. NQ를 기준으로 58점 이상인 경우 '양호'로, 58점 미만인 경우는 '모니터링이 필요'한 것으로 판정하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 성인 NQ는 21개 항목으로 구성된 체크리스트를 통해 NQ점수와 균형, 다양, 절제 및 식행동 영역의 점수 산출이 가능하며, 상대적인 NQ 등급 부여를 통해 식사의 질과 영양이 양호한 지를 평가할 수 있다. 또한 성인 NQ는 체계적인 영양관리, 만성질환 예방을 위한 교육사업 및 정부의 영양정책 효과 평가 등 다양한 분야에서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
