Abstract
Parent and child mealtime behaviors in school-age children with cystic fibrosis (CF; n = 28) and children without CF (n = 28) were examined during dinner meals by using multivariate analysis of variance. Parents of children with CF were found to differ from comparison parents in the frequency and rate of child management strategies. No differences were found in child behaviors. As the meal progressed, children displayed an increase in behaviors incompatible with eating, and parents increased behaviors to encourage eating. Slow eaters (> 20 min) with CF consumed more calories at the dinner meal than fast eaters (< 20 min) but did not achieve a higher daily caloric intake. Interventions targeting improvement of parent- child interactions during the mealtime are needed to achieve optimal dietary intake.Keywords
