RESUMOObjetivo: Descrever o consumo alimentar de famílias de pré-escolares residentes na zona rural e associar aos níveis de segurança e insegurança alimentar e nutricional no qual estão classificados. Material e Método: Estudo descritivo, correlacional desenvolvido com 200 famílias de pré-escolares atendidas em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da zona rural de um município de Fortaleza-CE. Os dados foram coletados a partir da aplicação da Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar. Foram seguidas as normas da Resolução 466/2012. Respeitaram-se os aspectos éticos. Resultados: Dos 200 familiares, 12% estavam em situação de segurança alimentar, enquanto 88% foram classificadas com insegurança alimentar. Verificou-se associação estatisticamente significante a partir da relação da situação de insegurança alimentar e o consumo de tubérculos/raízes, leite, derivados do leite, fruta/sucos natural, verduras/legumes, carnes e gordura. Conclusão: A partir da constatação da relação entre insegurança com o consumo alimentar dos familiares de pré-escolares é oportuno a implementação de programas de educação nutricional que favoreçam a adoção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis para a população.Palavras chave: Consumo alimentar, segurança alimentar e nutricional, enfermagem. ABSTRACTObjective: To describe the food consumption among families of pre-school children in situation of food (in) security in a rural area. Method: A descriptive study conducted with 200 families of pre-school children treated
Objectives: to analyze the knowledge of nurses working in Primary Health Care Units about regional foods, food & nutritional safety. Methods: a cross-sectional study conducted with 71 nurses working in health care units in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. Data were obtained through administration of two questionnaires, subsequently analyzed through statistical tests. Results: a satisfactory level of knowledge was found for most nurses, and it was evident that those with graduate degrees had greater knowledge about ‘regional food basics’ (p=0,014) and ‘frequency of use of regional foods’ (p=0,014); the age of the professionals had an inversely proportional relationship with the knowledge about the ‘concept of food & nutritional safety’ (p=0,009). Conclusions: nurses had satisfactory knowledge about the themes addressed, and professionals should be encouraged to improve their knowledge and instruct families on the importance of a diet based on regional foods.
