“…Usage percentages were lower in comparison to those in previous studies conducted in Japan (Hokama T et al, 2000;Takeda M et al, 2001;Fujimoto S et al, 2001;Aoki M et al, 2009). However when comparing the results of studies in Brazil (Abud SM et al, 2015;Palombo CN et al, 2014) our results are higher as only 9% of those studies Child healthcare handbook (CHH) contained growth charts. In our survey of the usage of the Maternal and Child Health Handbook by mothers whose children had the 1-year-6-month infant health examination, most mothers reported that in the Maternal and Child Health Handbook, the most helpful record for them was the "immunization record" but they felt that the growth charts were not helpful although they kept records in it (Fujimoto et al, 2001).…”

In Japan, growth charts for use until children reach 18 years of age are included in Maternal and Child Health Handbooks. However, the charts are not used actively after children reach school age. Little is known about the reasons. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the usage of growth charts by mothers of nursery school students shortly before students' entrance into elementary school and mothers' attitudes toward the use of growth charts in order to aid initiatives that promote the long-term use of growth charts. The subjects were 465 mothers and their nursery school-aged children (3-6 years) for whom continuous somatometric measurements were available. A total of 32.5% of the mothers utilized growth charts (primiparous: 36.4%, multifarious: 29.0%), of whom 28.8% of primiparous mothers used them once every six months and 32.4% of multifarious mothers, once a year. At 18.0%, "I am not concerned about my child's physique" was the most common reason for not utilizing growth charts. To ensure the long-term use of growth charts, it is necessary to provide mothers with health guidance designed to emphasize the importance of assessing their children's physiques and to encourage the practice of keeping periodic records

“…Another aspect revealed by professionals, such as the difficulty in growth follow-up that referred to the lack of CHB, although, the filling in and the usage of this instrument do not take place adequately, especially related to growth and development charts (11) . Additionally, based on the perception of professionals, mothers do not use the CHB and do not value them, the same way the professionals themselves do, as that contributes to following up child growth that does not occur as recommended, thereby hindering the early detection of easily avoidable problems.…”

“…In spite of being considered as low-cost procedures and easily achievable in healthcare services, studies have shown diverse problems in putting such practices into effect, such as the scarcity of knowledge, and the unpreparedness of healthcare professionals to deal with maternal breastfeeding (9) and feeding children under one year old (10) , infrequent records in the Child Health Booklet (11) , difficulties in performing and interpreting growth curves (12) , as well as service infrastructure problems, as the minimum equipment, such as scales and anthropometers are unavailable for following up growth (13) .…”

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.

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.

“…Atualmente, está em construção um modelo assistencial em que a criança deixa de ser compreendida como ser unicamente biológico, que privilegia cuidado assistencial centrado em suas especificidades e de sua família, mediante a construção de redes de apoio, buscando sua integralidade (11) . Nesta nova perspectiva, o cuidado de enfermagem deve promover e restaurar o bem-estar físico, psíquico e social, considerando aspectos intrínsecos ligados à sua condição de criança e reconhecendo o protagonismo familiar, bem como as legislações que garantem suas especificidades (12)(13) .…”
