Vršnjačka edukacija učenika srednjih škola o zdravoj prehrani od djetetova rođenja

Cilj je ovoga rada potvrditi učinkovitost programa edukacije učenika srednjih škola o zdravoj prehrani novorođenčadi i dojenčadi te male djece. Izrađen je strukturirani program edukacije od četiri nastavna sata o ranoj prehrani djeteta za učenike srednjih škola. Program edukacije predstavljen je Povjerenstvu za zaštitu i promicanje dojenja Ministarstva zdravstva Republike Hrvatske te je korigiran prema uputama Povjerenstva. U skladu s odobrenjem Ministarstva znanosti i obrazovanja probno je provedena izvaninstitucionalna nastava prema navedenom programu u završnim razredima u tri srednje škole Bjelovarsko-bilogorske županije: Srednja škola Čazma, Srednja škola Bartola Kašića Grubišno Polje i Srednja škola August Šenoa Garešnica. Punoljetni učenici osobno su dali informirani pristanak za sudjelovanje u istraživanju, a roditelji za maloljetne učenike. Provoditelji supervizirane vršnjačke edukacije bili su studenti prve i druge godine Stručnog studija sestrinstva Veleučilišta u Bjelovaru. Oni su za takvu aktivnost pripremljeni s pomoću programa edukacije organiziranog na Veleučilištu. Nastava se održavala pod nadzorom supervizora koji su pratili rad studenata edukatora. Učinci edukacije mjereni su validiranim Upitnikom namjera, stavova i znanja učenika i studenata o dojenju (BIAKQ upitnik). Namjere, stavovi i znanje učenika srednjih škola o prirodnoj prehrani novorođenčadi i male djece mjereni su neposredno prije i poslije završetka edukacije, a razlika u rezultatima potvrdila je učinkovitost provedene edukacije.
The aim of this paper is to confirm the effectiveness of the education program for high school students on healthy nutrition for newborns, infants, and young children. A structured education program of four lessons on early child nutrition was created for high school students. The education program was presented to the Commission for the Protection and Promotion of Breastfeeding of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia and was corrected according to the Commission’s instructions. In accordance with the approval of the Ministry of Science and Education, non-institutional teaching according to the mentioned program was carried out on a trial basis in the final grades in three high schools of the Bjelovar-Bilogora County: Čazma High School, Bartol Kašić Grubišno Polje High School and August Šenoa Garešnica High School. Adult students personally gave informed consent to participate in the research, and for underage students parents gave consent. The supervisors of the supervised peer education were students of the first and second year of the professional study of Nursing at the Technical College in Bjelovar. They were prepared for such an activity with the help of the education program organized at the Techical College. Classes were supervised by supervisors who followed the work of student educators. The effects of the education were measured by a validated Questionnaire of the intentions, attitudes and knowledge of pupils and students about breastfeeding (BIAKQ questionnaire). The intentions, attitudes and knowledge of high school students about the natural nutrition of newborns and young children were measured immediately before and after the end of the education, and the difference in the results confirmed the effectiveness of the education.
