“…The key strength of this study is the inclusion of the community (mother/caregivers) and experts from numerous backgrounds (researchers, IYCF experts, cultural experts, National and Provincial Department of Health) during the development and validation process, ensuring that the content and method of education is targeted and cultural-speci c. Furthermore, the involvement of stakeholders such as mothers/caregivers in developing the education material increases its support and future sustainability in the community [23]. In addition to the advantages of the rigorous development and validation process, the use of the KPP questionnaire before and after implementation of the education will provide valuable information on the size of the problems regarding the different aspects of the education (such as the individual KPP sections) but more importantly, the impact of the education material itself.…”

Background Undernutrition, including stunting, continues to impact child health globally. Stunting remains persistent in low and middle-income countries, including South Africa. The Eastern Cape Province has a high stunting prevalence. Contributing factors include poor infant and young child feeding, lack of infant and young child feeding knowledge, and detrimental cultural-specific practices. Understanding specific barriers preventing improved infant and young child feeding is important to ensure the United Nations’ sustainable development goals are met by 2023. The Health Belief Model contributes to developing effective, cultural-specific nutrition education, resulting in positive behaviour change. Applying design thinking while developing education material encourages engagement with local stakeholders/communities to deliver cultural-specific content. This paper outlines the protocol designed to develop material for a community-based, cultural-specific infant and young child feeding education for mothers/caregivers living in rural areas of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Methods The study will be conducted in three phases. Phase 1 will use qualitative and quantitative secondary data to conduct a situational analysis of socio-demographic factors, anthropometric profiles, and feeding practices of infants and young children (0–24 months). In Phase 2, a knowledge, practices, and perceptions questionnaire will be developed to quantify infant and young child feeding knowledge, practices and perceptions and to measure the impact of the intervention. Published literature, focus group discussions, and expert opinion will be used. Phase 3 will use the Health Belief Model to develop a conceptual framework, with design thinking constructs as a method to develop the content of the infant and young child feeding education material. Discussion This study will provide a detailed analysis of the situation in the community, develop a questionnaire to quantify the effect of knowledge, practices and perceptions on nutrition, and ultimately provide cultural-specific infant and young child feeding education material. It is anticipated that, when implemented, this approach will positively improve maternal/caregiver knowledge, practices and perceptions, provide valuable information on the impact of culture, and ultimately result in improved child growth and diet.

“…O apoio social das famílias, escolas e comunidades contribui tanto para a conscientização dos adolescentes quanto para o envolvimento desses atores sociais em assegurar processos educativos emancipatórios com repercussões atuais e longitudinais do cuidado individual e coletivo (BELLO; PILLAY, 2019;MWILIKE et al, 2018;SAUL et al, 2018; THANGRATTANA; PATHUMCHAROENWAT-TANA; NINLAMOT, 2014).…”

As práticas educacionais implicam no empoderamento dos adolescentespara o fortalecimento de suas vozes na tomada de decisões e nas mudanças de comportamentos em saúde individual e coletiva. Com base nisso, a partir dorelato de experiência realizado com adolescentes em contexto de vulnerabilidades sociais em Recife-PE, em período de isolamento social, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo animar os participantes para o desenvolvimento do empoderamento juvenil em saúde mediante a realização de Círculos de Cultura virtuais. Assim, os Círculos de Cultura propuseram discutir, em formato virtual, cinco temáticas: “Ser adolescente”; “O papel do adolescente na família, na escola e na comunidade”; “Vulnerabilidades juvenis”; “A educação segundo Paulo Freire e a educação em saúde”; e “Empoderamento para a promoção da saúde individual, coletiva, e de classe social”. As atividades ocorreram por meio de momentos de busca a um ambiente favorável para a dialogicidade e livre expressão dos adolescentes a partir de desenho-estória, podcast, poemas e a construção final de um jornal. Desse modo, os adolescentes aproximaram-se das tecnologias educacionais, bem como direcionaram visões críticas e de propostas desuperação aos determinantes que, historicamente, limitam o potencialnessa fase da vida. Pode-se dizer, ainda, que a intervenção possibilitou areinvenção dos Círculos de Cultura freireanos, aflorando as potencialidades dos adolescentes e protagonizando um processo de libertação destes frente às injustiças, resultando em um ato político e social.

“…The children's inclination to overeat was hypothesised to be a result of their habitual insufficient food intake prior to their arrival at the orphanage (Fisher et al, 1997). Although studies have been conducted to evaluate the food consumption status of these children (Bello and Pillay, 2019), there are a limited number of studies examining their nutritional behaviours (Fisher et al, 1997). This study aimed to evaluate intuitive eating behaviours, diet quality, and nutritional status of children living separated from their families.…”

Nutritional problems can be seen in children living separated from their families. This cross-sectional pilot study aimed to evaluate intuitive eating, diet quality, and nutritional status of children living separated from their families. A total of 55 adolescent girls aged 12–18 years participated in the study. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical data, and 24-h dietary recall data were collected. The Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2) and the Turkish version of the Healthy Lifestyle-Diet (HLD-TR) index were used. Participants were divided into two groups according to their scores on the diet quality index using the 50th percentile. Group 1 consisted of participants with a score of 25 points or less, and Group 2 consisted of participants with a score above 25 points. Waist circumference (72.0 (66–83), 65.0 (60–77)) was significantly higher in Group 1 (P < 0.05). IES–2 score (3.05 (2.85–3.40), 3.30 (3.12–3.90)) and two sub–factors; reliance in hunger and satiety cues (2.80 (1.80–3.40), 4.00 (2.60–4.60)) and body–food choice congruence (2.50 (2.00–3.50), 3.50 (3.00–4.50)) were higher in Group 2 (P < 0.05). After adjustment for body mass index, age, and energy intake, there was a significant positive correlation between IES-2 and HLD-TR scores (P = 0.029). In conclusion, it may be advantageous to resort to strategies that promote intuitive eating to reduce obesity and associated problems in this vulnerable group.
