Read More BACKGROUND: The identification of parental health knowledge related to obesity and overweightstatus in children is an important area. Its importance relates to understanding gaps in knowledge thatcan be used to create targeted intervention and prevention strategies to improve the managementof child’s weight.AIM: There is a growing awareness of the potential health risks associated with increased childhoodweight. It is currently unclear how well the public understands these risks and if understanding islinked to improvement in obesity or overweight levels in children. This review focused on determiningif the current research is available to describe parental knowledge and whether it is connected toimproved outcomes in the child’s weight status.METHODS: The search for original research articles published between 2003 and 2018 involvedsix databases, including CINAHL, EBSCOhost, PubMed, PsycINFO, Psychology, and BehavioralSciences Collection, and OneSearch. The OneSearch database is a comprehensive search enginethat allows simultaneous searching of the entire library category and results that are ranked byrelevance to the search terms. The terms used included for the keyword search in each databaseincluded: “knowledge” or “awareness,” “health risk” or “consequence,” “obesity” or “overweight,”and “weight” or “body mass index,” “child,” and “parent” or “parental.” A content analysis of includedarticles was performed to synthesize available literature into a review.RESULTS: This review included nine articles dealing specifically with parents of children and theirknowledge levels. As there was limited information about if child’s weight status connected to parentalknowledge, an additional seven articles addressing how knowledge affects weight at any age wasexamined. The findings for parental knowledge and its effect have mixed results and varying methodsof measurement.CONCLUSIONS: While some studies have indicated the importance of knowledge, it is difficult toestablish a reliable connection due to the limited examination of this subject. This is, therefore, anunderexplored area that needs further study.
