ABSTRACT

Resumen Antecedentes: la población con síndrome de Down presenta alta prevalencia de sobrepeso por factores genéticos y ambientales, por lo que requiere educación alimentaria y nutricional para promover su salud. Objetivo: diseñar y evaluar estrategias educativas pertinentes para promover el adecuado estado nutricional en población escolar con síndrome de Down. Materiales y métodos: investigación-acción con una muestra de 13 niños y sus cuidadores. Se realizó observación, tamizaje nutricional, grupo focal, entrevistas en profundidad y actividades lúdicas para el diagnóstico educativo; además, se priorizaron problemas y se diseñaron, implementaron y evaluaron estrategias educativas con los cuidadores. Resultados: se encontraron aspectos favorecedores y dificultades en la alimentación, como rechazo por "alimentos saludables", gusto por los denominados "alimentos malos", ansiedad alimentaria y poco conocimiento sobre alimentación. Se realizaron actividades con los cuidadores, centradas en las dificultades; las más aceptadas y efectivas fueron las experienciales y dialógicas; al finalizar, los participantes expresaron aprendizajes significativos que llevaron a cabo en su vida diaria y la de sus familias. Se evidenciaron modificaciones en cuanto a preparaciones más saludables, variedad en la alimentación y cambios hacia hábitos más saludables. Conclusión: los participantes obtuvieron aprendizajes para mejorar la alimentación de los niños y familiares, a partir de sus necesidades y condiciones, con estrategias basadas en metodologías dialogantes.


Abstract Background: Those living with Down's syndrome present high prevalence of overweight due to genetic and environmental factors, which requires nutrition and dietary education to promote adequate health in this population. Objective: Design and evaluate education strategies pertinent to the promotion of an adequate nutritional status in school-aged children with Down's syndrome. Materials and Methods: Action research with a sample of 13 children and their caregivers. Observations, nutritional screening, focus groups, in-depth interviews, and recreational activities were carried out for educational diagnosis. Furthermore, problems were prioritized, and educational strategies were designed, implemented, and evaluated with the caregivers. Results: Favorable and difficult aspects to eating were found, such as rejection of "healthy foods", taste for "bad foods", food anxiety, and little food knowledge. Activities were carried out with caregivers focused on difficulties, of which the most accepted and effective were the experiential and talk based. At the end, the participants expressed significant learning that they implemented in their daily lives and with their families. Modifications such as healthier food preparations, variety in diet, and changes towards healthier habits were evidenced. Conclusions: Participants gained knowledge on improving the diets of their children and families based on their needs and conditions, with strategies based on dialogue, practical and contextualized methodologies, and taking into consideration their viewpoints and concerns.
