Insights

The Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire (CFPQ) is a valid tool for assessing parental feeding behaviors in Norwegian parents of 10-to-12-year-olds. This study adapted and validated the CFPQ for this specific age group.

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Health
  • Nutritional Psychology
  • Parenting Research

Background:

  • Validated instruments for quantifying parental feeding behaviors in older children are lacking.
  • The Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire (CFPQ) assesses multiple parental feeding practices.
  • The CFPQ was originally validated for parents of children aged 2-8 years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt and validate the CFPQ for use with parents of 10-to-12-year-old children in Norway.
  • To assess the psychometric properties of a Norwegian version of the CFPQ.

Main Methods:

  • A Norwegian, adapted version of the CFPQ was completed by 963 parents of 10-to-12-year-olds.
  • Scale analyses were conducted to test the instrument's validity.

Main Results:

  • Scale analyses indicated that the adapted Norwegian CFPQ has psychometric properties similar to the original version.
  • Some problematic items and scales were identified, but overall validity was supported.

Conclusions:

  • The CFPQ, with minor modifications, is a valid instrument for measuring parental feeding practices in parents of 10-to-12-year-olds.
  • The findings support the use of the CFPQ in a Norwegian context for this age group.

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
