Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of pressuring feeding style a-mong caregivers in remote rural areas of Sichuan province.Methods Multistage sampling was conducted to select infants of 6-11 months old who had received complementary food and their caregivers in remote rural areas of Si-chuan province.A questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic characteristics of infants and their caregivers,pressuring feeding behaviors,feeding environment,and caregivers'negative emotions.Quantile regression was em-ployed to analyze the factors influencing pressuring feeding among caregivers of infants.Results A total of 1358 pairs of infants and their caregivers were included,with the pressuring feeding behavior score of 11(8,14).Parity was the protective factor for caregivers'pressuring feeding(β25=-1.17,P＜0.001;β50=-1.40,P=0.002;β75=-2.18,P＜0.001).Whether infants played with toys while eating(β25=1.00,P＜0.001;β50=1.20,P=0.003;β75=1.42,P＜0.001)and whether infants watched TV/mobile phones(β25=0.50,P=0.048;β50=1.07,P=0.004)were the risk factors.At the 75th percentile,caregivers'negative emotions were the risk factor for pressuring feeding(β75=0.94,P=0.015).Caregivers'education background(β25=0.83,P=0.034;β50=0.87,P=0.021)and family income(β75=1.09,P=0.012)were also significantly associated with pressuring feeding scores at different quartile points.Conclusions Pressuring feeding behaviors of caregivers in remote rural areas of Sichuan province need to be improved.Based on the characteristics of infants and their families,guidance should be carried out to improve the feeding environment and the mental health of caregivers,thereby promoting reasonable feeding behaviors among caregivers of infants in rural areas.
