Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of intervention based on internet platform for feeding disorders of infants with low birth weight (LBW), and to provide evidence for spreading and conducting intervention in communities. Methods A total of 994 infants aged 1 month born between January 2016 and February 2017 with LBW consulted in Department of Child Health Care of Minhang Maternal and Children Health Hospital were selected in this study.The participants were randomly divided into intervention group (499 cases) and control group (495 cases).The intervention group received health education in the assistance of a communication platform founded on internet, and the control group received health education by common pattern.After 12 months of intervention, a self-developed and normalized Chinese Infant Feeding Scale was used to assess the infants feeding disorder and feeding behaviors of caregivers were also investigated by filling out a specially designed questionnaire, to understand the occurrence of feeding disorders in the intervention group and the control group and the changes of feeding behavior of the parents. Results The score of feeding behavior questionnaire based on internet platform intervention was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and the parental feeding behavior was significantly improved in five aspects:food preparation, nutrition knowledge, feeding methods, feeding concept and feeding environment (P < 0.01).The incidence of feeding disorders in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Interventions based on the internet platform for feeding disorders in LBW infants can reduce the incidence of feeding disorders and improve parental feeding behavior.
