“…These children, in addition to the deficit in self--care, have fewer friends, less affection from parents and worse school performance. With the experience of suffering through bullying (18) , both in the traditional way and in cyberbullying, children with obesity have little motivation to engage in physical activity, avoid healthy lifestyles, and may present suicidal ideation (7) .…”

“…Such overweight conditions in childhood originate from the imbalance of self-care between child and family, with an intake of food calories greater than the caloric expenditure. This excessive consumption of food may be due to the supply of caloric foods in the home and school environment, excessive dedication of parents to work, leading to a greater supply of semi--prepared foods, the contemporary lifestyle, reduced practice of physical activities, and the greater time in front of the computer and television (7)(8) .…”

“…Uma das estratégias poderia ser a criação de grupos para uma terapia de modificação de estilo de vida que possibilita um tratamento eficaz e seguro para a obesidade grave. 18 Uma das estratégias que o enfermeiro pode lançar mão são as práticas educativas que envolva a interação com os indivíduos ou grupos na perspectiva de conhecer suas práticas de saúde e o contexto no qual as ações são definidas e, para isso os profissionais da área da saúde, precisam construir novas práticas de cuidado, com participação dos usuários, sendo estes os protagonistas do cuidado interdisciplinar, qualificado na busca da resolutividade e integralidade do cuidado.

Objetivo: conhecer os hábitos cotidianos de alimentação e prática de atividades físicas de crianças entre sete e dez anos de idade, de uma unidade básica de educação de um município do Sul de Santa Catarina. Método: pesquisa qualitativa descritiva e exploratória, desenvolvida com 24 crianças em uma unidade de ensino, vinculada a Estratégia de Saúde da família. Os dados foram coletados no período de outubro de 2012, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e analisados a luz do referencial teórico de Madeleine Leininger. Resultados: o cotidiano das crianças e de suas famílias nem sempre auxiliam nos hábitos saudáveis, padrões culturais podem influenciar neste processo, consequentemente refletindo no ambiente escolar. Conclusão: parcerias entre a Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), escola e família são importantes para traçar estratégias que fomentam as práticas de educação em saúde desta comunidade.

IntroductionOur study included counseling on diet and physical activity, smoking, e-cigarette use, and alcohol consumption. The aim was to examine the correlates of counseling provided by primary care nurses with the health status/health behaviors of nurses and the barriers in the advice provided.Materials and methodsIn 2022, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among 331 nurses employed in the primary care sector in Lodz. The questionnaire consisted of three sections: characteristics of the patient population receiving treatment and provided with healthy lifestyle counseling by nurses, barriers to the process of assessing, controlling, and guiding patients, and health status/health behaviors of nurses.ResultsEighty percent of the nurses in our study provided advice on diet and physical activity to primary care patients. Over 70% of the survey participants performed minimal anti-smoking interventions forsmokers, 67.7% for alcohol drinkers, and 56.8% for e-cigarette users. The correlates of counseling in the field of diet and physical activity turned out to be the knowledge and skills, which enabled nurses to provide advice (OR = 2.57, p < 0.01). The correlates of the conducted minimal anti-smoking interventions in smoking patients were: subjective assessment of overweight and obesity in nurses, knowledge and skills in conducting counseling (OR = 1.92, p < 0.05), and measuring body weight, height and BMI (OR = 2.18, p < 0.01). Among the three most common barriers identified by the nurses in the process of assessing, monitoring, and guiding patients were the opinion that patients are not interested in improving their diet, physical activity, and weight loss (60.7%), lack of time (51.4%), as well as the belief that patients find it too difficult to change their current habits (54.1%).ConclusionThe results of our survey indicate that nurses’ participation in healthy lifestyle counseling in adult patients is unsatisfactory. Interventions in primary care should be designed considering the specific obstacles nurses may face in leading healthy lifestyles. Further training of nursing staff is required to increase their knowledge on healthy lifestyles.
