ABSTRACT
In order to design effective interventions for the prevention of childhood obesity the stages of change, motivations and barriers related to the consumption of five daily portions of fruit and vegetables and physical activity were determined in 323 mothers of preschool children attending Primary Health Centers, through the application of a previously validated survey. Only 5% of them consumed 5 or more portions with the majority (61.3%) consuming 1 to 2 portions. The main motivations to eat 5 portions were "I like them" and "to lose weight" while the main barrier was "I forget to eat them". With respect to physical activity, 33.1% considered themselves on the maintenance stage and 18.9% on the action stage. Main motivations were "Makes me feel good", "To lose weight". Main barrier "I don't have time". It is suggested that educational interventions consider the mother attitudes and beliefs to be more effective.
RESUMEN
Con el fin de diseñar intervenciones efectivas que contribuyan a prevenir la obesidad infantil, se determinaron las etapas del cambio de la conducta, las motivaciones y barreras para consumir 5 porciones diarias de frutas y verduras y realizar actividad física en 323 madres de preescolares atendidas en Centros de Atención Primaria de Salud, mediante la aplicación de una encuesta validada en estudios previos. Sólo el 5% de ellas consumía 5 o más porciones diarias, la mayoría consumía 1 a 2 porciones (61,3%). Las principales motivaciones para comer 5 porciones fueron "me gustan" y "para perder peso". La principal barrera "se me olvida comerlas". En la actividad física, el 33,1% indicó encontrarse en la etapa de mantenimiento y el 18,9% en acción. Las principales motivaciones "me hace sentir bien" y "para perder peso". La principal barrera "no tengo tiempo". Se sugiere que las intervenciones educativas consideren las actitudes y creencias de las madres, para ser más efectivas.
