RESUMEN
RESUMEN Con el objetivo de explorar los factores socioculturales que determinan los hábitos alimentarios de niños menores de cinco años de una escuela inicial de Chachapoyas en Perú, realizamos un estudio cualitativo mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a 18 padres y madres. Los factores determinantes de los hábitos alimenticios fueron la disponibilidad y facilidad de preparación de los alimentos; horario y trabajo desempeñado por los padres; ingesta de café en niños como práctica común; falta de recursos e incertidumbre económica para la planificación alimenticia, y la falta de conocimientos nutricionales. Asimismo, se identificaron creencias que pueden explicar algunos hábitos alimenticios, como los efectos beneficiosos de la comida en familia, la lactancia materna y otros alimentos, o el papel de la alimentación para el buen desarrollo intelectual y físico de los niños. Los resultados aportan evidencia sobre el modo en que los padres afrontan y entienden la alimentación de sus hijos, determinando, a su vez, la calidad de la misma.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT To examine the sociocultural factors that determine the eating habits of children aged less than 5 years who attend kindergarten school in Chachapoyas in Peru, we carried out a qualitative study by means of semi-structured interviews of 18 fathers and mothers. The key factors related to eating habits were as follows availability and easiness to prepare foods, schedule and work done by parents, intake of coffee in children as a common practice, lack of resources and economic uncertainty for food planning, and the lack of nutritional knowledge. Similarly, beliefs that might explain some eating habits, such as the beneficial effects of eating food as a family, maternal breastfeeding, and others, or the role of nutrition for the appropriate intellectual and physical development of children were identified. Our results provide evidence about the ways parents tackle and understand their children's nutrition while, in turn, determining its quality.
