“…Duarte et al 21 Inaccurate maternal weight perceptions occurred in 34.8% of studied cases. Mothers of high weight children were more likely to have inaccurate perceptions than those of more healthy weight (OR=4.6; 95% CI 2.0-10.7), and mothers of children attending well-child care were less likely to have inaccurate perceptions than others (OR=0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.9).…”

“…Hochdorn et al, 41 who reviewed 37 papers that focused on research conducted in different geopolitical contexts, similarly concluded that adequate educational support for promoting parents' awareness and their realistic recognition of their children's weight should be implemented in all healthcare policies addressing childhood obesity. Duarte et al, 21 further suggested attendance at well-child visits may be an effective way to decrease inaccuracies in maternal child weight judgments, and again reinforced the importance of incorporating the influence of salient health professionals from the earliest point in time in childhood obesity prevention. Duncan et al, 42 who found a declining tendency among parents to perceive overweight children appropriately in a 2015 study, recommended strategies be put in place to explore how to encourage clinician discussions with parents about appropriate weight for their child as well as strengthen their capacity for childhood obesity prevention.…”

Recent data continue to reveal the persistence of high rates of childhood obesity in many regions of the world. This brief describes the most recent research on this topicfrom the perspective of the role played by parental weight perceptions, a variable that has been linked to the persistence of and apparent burgeoning of childhood obesity/ overweight prevalence rates, regardless of country of origin. To update the literature on this topic, English language peer-reviewed publications from 2016-2017 on the topics of overweight, obesity and parental health literacy were specifically reviewed. Findings from the available studies reveal many inaccurate parental perceptions have been observed among children at risk for childhood obesity, an ongoing widespread health concern. This epidemic also appears to be influenced by the accuracy of the perceptions of parents regarding their child's weight status. It is concluded that strategies to help parents detect and intervene upon any prevailing overweight risk for this oftentimes irreversible health condition are strongly indicated.

Introduction: Nutritional counseling and growth follow-up are priorities when providing care to children; however, these have not been completely incorporated into primary health care. Objective: To know the diffi culties for providing nutritional counseling and child growth follow-up, from a professional healthcare perspective. Method: Qualitative study, using Donabedian as theoretical framework, developed by 53 professionals in the fi eld of primary health care. Data was obtained from focal groups and submitted to content analysis. Results: The main diffi culties for nutritional counseling were clustered in the category of 'perceptions and beliefs related to child feeding'. The 'problems of infrastructure and healthcare' and 'maintenance of the hegemonic medical model' are the main diffi culties for following-up growth. Final considerations: Besides investments in infrastructure, healthcare training is indispensable considering beliefs and professional experiences, so in fact, nutritional counseling and child growth follow-up are incorporated in primary health care. Descriptors: Child Nutrition; Childcare; Primary Health Care; Research, Qualitative; Nursing Primary Health Care. RESUMO Introdução:Aconselhamento nutricional e acompanhamento do crescimento são prioritários na assistência à criança, porém, ainda não estão plenamente incorporados na atenção básica. Objetivo: Conhecer as difi culdades para realizar aconselhamento nutricional e acompanhamento do crescimento infantil, na perspectiva de profi ssionais de saúde. Método: Estudo qualitativo, fundamentado no referencial de Donabedian, desenvolvido com 53 profi ssionais de saúde da atenção básica. Dados foram obtidos por grupos focais e submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Resultados: As principais difi culdades para o aconselhamento nutricional reuniram-se na categoria 'percepções e crenças relacionadas à alimentação infantil'. Para o acompanhamento do crescimento, as categorias 'problemas de infraestrutura e funcionamento dos serviços de saúde' e 'manutenção do modelo médico hegemônico' representaram as principais difi culdades. Considerações fi nais: Além de investimentos na infraestrutura, é imprescindível que capacitações em serviço considerem crenças e experiências dos profi ssionais para que, de fato, o aconselhamento nutricional e acompanhamento do crescimento infantil sejam incorporados na atenção básica.
