영유아기 자녀를 둔 전업주부 어머니의 식생활 교육 경험과 요구

초록

This qualitative study aimed to explore the dietary education experiences and needs of full-time homemaker mothers with young children. A purposefully collected sample of 12 mothers (6 mothers of infants or toddlers and 6 mothers of preschoolers) in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province participated in individual in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts used a thematic framework. The experience of mothers' dietary education was examined in terms of the content, strategy, and information acquisition path of the dietary education. The education content focused on how to attain basic skills and to form the habits for their children’s eating, how to deliver basic information about ingredients, and how to correctly recognize food and to form an attitude regarding the food. Educational strategies mainly include providing a dining environment, providing an experience focused on healthy foods, encouraging eating habits, providing specific information through description, using books and online media, showing role models, meeting halfway, and scolding. Related information was primarily collected through acquaintances, Internet search, and expert books. The mothers’ demands regarding dietary education were focused on consistent dietary education with family and educational institutions, experience of dietary education for their children in educational institutions, and parent education about dietary life.
