Résumé

Objectifs

Décrire les différentes dimensions de la participation parentale dans les interventions instaurées en milieu scolaire et identifier la relation entre chacune de ces dimensions et le développement des comportements alimentaires des enfants suite à leur exposition à un projet d’éducation nutritionnel mis en place dans huit écoles primaires de milieux défavorisés de Montréal, le projet Petits cuistots - Parents en réseaux (PC-PR).

Methode

Cette recherche descriptive est conduite grâce à une analyse secondaire de données d’un échantillon de 502 parents d’enfants fréquentant les écoles qui participent au projet PC-PR. La participation parentale est conceptualisée en quatre dimensions faisant référence à la notion du mésosystème proposée par Bronfenbrenner (1979). Les comportements alimentaires tels que rapportés par les parents incluent le fait de: parler des ateliers, demander d’acheter certains aliments, lire les étiquettes sur l’emballage des produits et aider à réaliser les repas. Des analyses descriptives, bivariées et multivariées sont effectuées.

Résultats

Les données recueillies auprès des parents montrent une association positive entre la participation parentale à la maison et l’ensemble des comportements alimentaires examinés chez les élèves. Toutefois, l’implication parentale à l’école n’est corrélée à aucun des comportements.

Conclusion

Cette recherche suggère l’importance de la participation parentale dans les interventions d’éducation nutritionnelle en milieu scolaire. Ces résultats contribuent à l’avancement des connaissances dans le domaine et servent de prémisses à une réflexion visant à mieux orienter les interventions en promotion de la santé.

Abstract

Coals

To describe the various dimensions of parental involvement in the interventions initiated in schools and to identify the relationship between each of these dimensions and the development of children’s food choices following their exposure to a nutrition-education project implemented in eight primary schools in underprivileged neighbourhoods in Montréal - the Junior Cooks - Parents Network project (Petits cuistots - Parents en réseaux (PC-PR)).

Method

This descriptive research was conducted thanks to a secondary analysis of data from a sample of 502 parents of children attending schools that participated in the PC-PR project. Parental participation is described in four aspects, making reference to the idea of a mesosystem, suggested by Bronfenbrenner (1979). Children’s eating-related behaviour, as reported by the parents, included: talking about workshops, asking to buy certain foods, reading labels on product wrapping and helping to prepare the meal. Bivariate and multivariate descriptive analyses were performed.

Results

The data gathered from the parents show a positive association between in-home parental involvement and overall food behaviour in the students. However, there is no association between parental involvement at school and any of the behaviours.

Conclusion

This research suggests the importance of parental participation in nutrition education interventions in schools. The results contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field and serve as impetus for reflection on how to better direct health promotion interventions.
