Abstract
in English, French

The current child feeding practice is still suboptimal. There are several factors that affect child feeding practices. This review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on factors related to child feeding practices based on social-cognitive theory construct. The study was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist and used five databases, including Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, PubMed and ProQuest. There were no restrictions in the year of publication. Based on the search strategy, 1179 articles were extracted resulting in 23 articles that were suitable for inclusion in the study. Factors related to child feeding practices included knowledge, self-efficacy and social support. Social support from health workers plays an important role in increasing maternal self-efficacy in feeding practices. Education interventions for mothers and husbands or other family members need to be carried out to increase knowledge, self-efficacy and social support in feeding practices.

La pratique actuelle d’alimentation des enfants est encore sous-optimale. Plusieurs facteurs affectent les pratiques d’alimentation des enfants. Cette revue visait à synthétiser les preuves disponibles sur les facteurs liés aux pratiques d’alimentation des enfants sur la base de la théorie socio-cognitive. L’étude a été menée sur la base de la liste de contrôle PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) et a utilisé cinq bases de données, dont Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, PubMed et ProQuest. Il n’y avait aucune restriction l’année de publication. Sur la base de la stratégie de recherche, 1179 articles ont été extraits, ce qui a donné lieu à 23 articles qui pouvaient être inclus dans l’étude. Les facteurs liés aux pratiques d’alimentation des enfants comprenaient les connaissances, l’auto-efficacité et le soutien social. Le soutien social des agents de santé joue un rôle important dans l’augmentation de l’auto-efficacité maternelle dans les pratiques alimentaires. Des interventions éducatives pour les mères et les maris ou d’autres membres de la famille doivent être menées pour accroître les connaissances, l’auto-efficacité et le soutien social dans les pratiques alimentaires.
