Insights
This study co-designed a Reusable Learning Object (RLO) and infographic to boost caregiver understanding and use of responsive infant feeding, a key strategy for preventing childhood obesity.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Behavioral Science
- Digital Health
Background:
- Responsive infant feeding is crucial for preventing childhood obesity.
- Caregivers need evidence-based guidance on responsive feeding practices.
- Existing resources for responsive feeding are limited.
Purpose of the Study:
- To co-design a Reusable Learning Object (RLO) and infographic to enhance caregiver knowledge and application of responsive infant feeding behaviors.
- To improve caregiver awareness and understanding of responsive feeding cues.
- To support the implementation of responsive feeding into healthcare settings.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour (COM-B) model and the ASPIRE co-design approach.
- Conducted four co-design workshops with caregivers and healthcare professionals (HCPs).
- Employed content analysis for RLO development and formative/summative surveys for evaluation.
Main Results:
- Co-designed a RLO and infographic for responsive infant feeding.
- Gathered caregiver and HCP input to prioritize RLO content.
- Evaluated RLO usability and impact on caregiver behaviors.
Conclusions:
- The developed RLO and infographic can improve caregiver engagement with responsive feeding.
- This intervention has the potential to be integrated into NHS care pathways for obesity prevention.
- Findings will be disseminated to stakeholders and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Abstract:
Responsive infant feeding is a key strategy for childhood obesity prevention. Responsive feeding involves caregivers responding to infant hunger and satiety cues in a timely and developmentally appropriate manner. There is a dearth of evidence-based information and guidance for caregivers on how to responsively feed their infants. The aim of this research is to co-design a Reusable Learning Object (RLO) and guidance infographic to improve caregiver awareness, understanding and use of responsive infant feeding behaviours. The Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour (COM-B) model of behaviour change and the Aim, Storyboarding, Populate specification, Implement media, Review and release prototype, and Evaluate (ASPIRE) approach for digital intervention co-design will be utilised. Four co-design workshops with caregivers of infants and healthcare professionals (HCPs) will determine priority RLO content. Content analysis will enable RLO development and process reporting. Formative and summative surveys will be conducted to evaluate the usability of the RLO, its impact on caregivers and its potential implementation into NHS care pathways. The output will be a RLO on responsive feeding for caregivers and an infographic for HCPs/support workers which will contribute to a future obesity prevention intervention. The findings will be disseminated to stakeholders and submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
