Project description

This project will establish an evidence-based model for how child health nurses in QLD can support educators working in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings implement responsive feeding practices during children’s mealtimes to reduce food fussiness and increase fruit and vegetable consumption.

Working with one of Queensland’s largest ECEC providers and child health nurses from Children’s Health Queensland, a multi-modal training package was developed and evaluated, based on the content of the successful NOURISH trial. The NOURISH program provided parents with information regarding the use of responsive feeding practices during complementary feeding, which resulted in lower food fussiness and improved fruit and vegetable intake amongst young children. Focus groups were conducted to inform the translation of key NOURISH messages into face-to-face professional development and online modules for nurses and educators. A unique training module was developed and facilitated by nurses – delivered to educators in the ECEC setting with a focus on effective community partnerships.

The project team is based in the Faculties of Health and Education at QUT, led by Dr Rebecca Byrne, as well as Children’s Health Queensland.

Team members: Professor Sue Irvine, Professor Danielle Gallegos, Professor Stewart Trost, Dr Helen Vidgen, Dr Kim Baxter, Dr Elizabeth Martin, Karen Berry.
