Keywords:
nutritional status, management of food, congenital heart disease, caregiverAbstract
This descriptive research aimed to study nutritional status and explore the caregivers’ experiences of food management for children with congenital heart disease (CHD) who had malnutrition in Naradhiwat Pattani and Yala. A simple random sampling of 64 children and a purposive random sampling of 12 caregivers were used. Data were collected on children with CHD using a personal questionnaire and growth chart. As for the caregiver, data were collected by an in-depth interview. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were conducted to analyze the data.
The results of this study showed that children with CHD had underweight with 53.2%, low weight 23.4%, and normal weight 23.4% respectively. The food management experience of caregivers for children with CHD was based on four major components: (1) monitoring nutrition status by comparing with growth and development of normal children, (2) encouraging milk feeding and indulging in the food they like, (3) providing the same food as adults with heart disease for children with CHD, (4) impact of malnutrition on health status of children with CHD.
The results of this study could be provided as the basic information to develop the guideline of health education for caregivers to prepare foods and to promote better nutritional status for their children with CHD.
