Purpose In this article, the authors describe development and content validation of a parent-report measure problematic eating behaviors: Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (Pedi-EAT). Method Phase I, items were generated from parents' descriptions feeding behaviors children, review literature, existing eating-related instruments. II, interdisciplinary experts on pediatric rated for clarity relevance using validity indices (CVI) provided feedback comprehensiveness instrument. Phases III IV, 2...
ABSTRACT Objectives: The Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (PediEAT) is a parent‐report instrument developed to assess symptoms of feeding problems in children aged 6 months 7 years. purpose this study was identify the factor structure PediEAT and test its psychometric properties, including internal consistency reliability, temporal stability, construct validity. Methods: Participants included 567 parents Fifty‐four percent sample had parent report diagnosed problem or concerns. Exploratory...
This study tested the milk flow rates and variability in of currently available nipples used for bottle-feeding infants who are hospitalized.Clinicians 3 countries were surveyed regarding to them feeding hospitalized. Twenty-nine nipple types identified, 10 each type by measuring amount infant formula expressed 1 min using a breast pump. Mean rate (mL/min) coefficient variation compare within brand category (i.e., Slow, Standard, Premature).Flow varied widely between nipples, ranging from...
ABSTRACT Objective As diagnoses covering dysfunctional feeding and eating in pediatrics, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) pediatric (PFD) contain inherent areas of overlap their diagnostic criteria. Areas include criteria regarding nutritional consequences associated with feeding/eating dysfunction shared emphasis on possible psychosocial impairment restricted intake. Complicating the differential diagnosis process is a lack guidance when two conditions occur independently,...
To test the milk flow rates and variability in of bottle nipples used after hospital discharge.Twenty-six nipple types that represented 15 common brands as well variety price per store location sold (e.g., Babies R' Us, Walmart, Dollar Store) were chosen for testing. Ten each type (n = 260 total) tested by measuring amount infant formula expressed 1 minute using a breast pump. Mean rate (mL/min) coefficient variation (CV) calculated. Flow within brand compared statistically.Milk varied from...
Feeding difficulties in early childhood are common, affecting approximately 25% of typically developing children and up to 80% with developmental disabilities. There is no interdisciplinary consensus on the definition a feeding problem there input from families conceptualization. Lack common language barrier effective communication between clinicians, researchers, caregivers, inhibits collaboration. The purpose this study was examine conceptualization pediatric problems by family caregivers...
To examine the change in psychological distress of mothers preterm infants and its association with maternal feeding behaviors as infant transitions to full oral feeding.This descriptive exploratory study used a subset data from effects coregulated intervention for 34 hospitalized Level-III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Maternal was measured by worry (Child Health Worry Scale), depression (Center Epidemiology-Depression role stress (Parental Stress Scale: NICU-Role Alteration) at...
Feeding difficulties are common in infancy. There currently no valid and reliable parent-report measures to assess bottle-feeding infants younger than 7 months. The Neonatal Eating Assessment Tool (NeoEAT)-Bottle-feeding has been developed content validated.To determine the factor structure psychometric properties of NeoEAT-Bottle-feeding.Parents months were invited participate. Exploratory analysis was used structure. Internal consistency reliability tested using Cronbach α. Test-retest...
Abstract Background Paediatric feeding disorder (PFD) is a common childhood condition, estimated to impact one in 37 American children under the age of five. Such high prevalence occurs against backdrop limited understanding community treatment landscape United States. Method To better understand for PFD States and identify provider delivery characteristics, we collected primary data through web‐based survey targeting providers from all four domains (i.e., medical, nutritional, skill, and/or...
Infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome often experience difficulty oral feeding, which contributes to growth failure, morbidity, and mortality. In response feeding difficulty, clinicians change the bottle nipple, thus milk flow rate. Slow-flow nipples have been found reduce stress of in other fragile infants, but no research has evaluated responses infants alterations flow. The purpose this study was evaluate physiological behavioural an infant either a slow-flow (Dr. Brown's Preemie)...
This article describes the development and content validation of Child Oral Motor Proficiency Scale (ChOMPS), a parent-report assessment eating, drinking, related skills in children 6 months to 7 years age. Initially, 69 items for ChOMPS were generated from literature review. Nineteen professionals evaluated using validity indices (CVI). Significant revisions made directions based on professional feedback. CVI acceptable both relevance clarity items. Cognitive interviews then conducted with...
The purpose of this study was to identify the factor structure Child Oral and Motor Proficiency Scale (ChOMPS) evaluate psychometric properties, including internal consistency reliability, test–retest construct validity as measured by convergent known-groups validity. Principal component analysis with varimax rotation conducted on responses from 364 parents children between 6 months 7 years age identified four subscales: complex movement patterns, basic oral-motor coordination, fundamental...
Infancy is a sensitive developmental period that presents both opportunities and challenges for caregivers to feed their infants in ways support healthy growth development. The capacity eat way supports energy (caloric) intake aligned with the body's physiologic need development appear diminish years following infancy, but reasons this whether developmentally typical are unclear. Feeding interactions undermine infants' ability regulate response hunger satiety thought confer risk obesity...
The purpose of this article is to describe changes in problematic eating symptoms across 6 months children seen an outpatient feeding clinic and explore child characteristics associated with symptom changes. Participants were 58 parents aged 7 years age who clinic. Parents completed online survey at 3 time points: enrollment later. consisted the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (PediEAT) a set questions assessing demographic information, child's medical history, diagnoses, gastrointestinal...
Infants with developmental risk factors are more likely to have feeding problems and develop chronic disorders. Early detection understanding of the progression problematic its relationship a child's biological functioning family environment will enhance effective symptom management development interventions prevent pediatric
