TOME-PEREZ, Yolanda et al. Impact of the healthy break programme on the selection of snacks at school. Comunidad [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.1, pp.3-8. Epub 11-Dic-2023. ISSN 2339-7896. https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/comunidad.250101.
Objective.
To ascertain the teachers' opinion about the quality and impact of the healthy break programme on the improvement of snacks brought in by students.
Methods.
Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study by means of a self-administered online survey to teachers from the centres taking part in the healthy break programme in Extremadura. We asked about the follow-up of the recommendations on the consumption of healthy snacks by students, with three levels of adherence Likert-type responses (high: 75%-100%, medium: 50% and low: 0%-25%) and quality of material and training resources. A P-value less than 0.05 was deemed statistically significant.
Results.
A total of 82.8%, 52.3% and 8.5% of teachers observed high adherence with the recommendation to include water, fruit and whole-grain bread, respectively. Moreover, 38.1%, 33.0% and 62.7% to eliminate packaged juices, sweetened dairy products and pastries, respectively. Overall satisfaction and programme resources were rated at 4.3 and 4 points, out of 5, respectively.
Conclusions.
For the teachers surveyed, the programme had a high impact on the inclusion of water and elimination of industrial pastries in snacks; a medium impact on the inclusion of fruit and elimination of packaged juices and sweetened dairy products; and a low impact on the inclusion of whole-grain bread. The teaching staff offered a high evaluation of the resources provided and general satisfaction.
