To investigate and analyze the current status and challenges of infant and toddler nutritional services in urban and rural medical facilities in Sichuan Province.
In 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data on infant and toddler nutritional services, including feeding guidance, physical growth assessment, and micronutrient deficiency screening, as well as information on personnel and tools in medical facilities throughout Sichuan Province. The provision of nutritional services was analyzed and the urban-rural disparities were assessed.
A total of 2206 medical facilities (29.1% from urban areas and 70.9% from rural areas) were investigated. Only 35.8% of medical facilities provided all three types of nutritional services. Specifically, the overall service provision rates were high for feeding guidance (94.6%) and physical growth assessment (85.0%), but lower for micronutrient deficiency screening (37.4%). Rural facilities exhibited significantly lower rates than their urban counterparts for both physical growth assessment and micronutrient deficiency screening (P<0.05). The provision rates of feeding guidance ranged from 70.6% to 93.2%, with responsive feeding guidance being the least implemented (70.6%), particularly in rural areas compared to urban areas (P<0.05). Rates for physical growth assessment and micronutrient deficiency screening ranged from 75.3% to 81.8% and 23.6% to 30.8%, respectively, both showing lower rates in rural settings compared to urban ones (P<0.05). Nutrition service providers were predominantly nurses (52.3%) and clinical practitioners (43.4%). The availability of dietary assessment tools ranged from 7.7% to 15.9%, significantly lower in rural areas compared to urban areas (P<0.001), while physical measurement tools were widely available at rates of 94.6% to 98.5%.
At present, the infant and toddler nutritional service provisions of medical facilities in Sichuan Province are incomplete, particularly so in the implementation of feeding guidance, physical growth assessment, and micronutrient deficiency screening. There is a notable shortage of personnel and necessary tools, with rural areas facing more significant challenges. Enhancing the overall capacity of infant and toddler nutritional services in Sichuan Province is essential, with specific attention needed for rural healthcare settings.
