Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı 6-8 yaş çocukların beslenme tutum ve davranışlarının değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışmaya 183 erkek ve 164 kız olmak üzere toplam 347 öğrenci katılmıştır. Çocukların demografik özelliklerini sorgulayan, Beslenme Tutum Ölçeği, Beslenme Davranış Ölçeği' ni içeren anket formu araştırmacı tarafından uygulanarak veriler toplanmıştır. Çocukların Beslenme Tutum Ölçeği puan ortalamaları 13.83 ±2.03, Beslenme Davranış Ölçeği puanları 2.57 ±4.53 olarak belirlenmiştir. Çocukların beslenme tutum puanları ile beslenme davranış puanları arasında aynı yönlü zayıf bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r=0.212, p<0.001). Çalışma sonucunda, çalışmaya katılan çocukların beslenme alışkanlıklarının sağlıklı olma durumunun orta düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışma sonuçları çocukların olumlu beslenme tutum ve davranışlarına sahip olması ve bunu sürdürebilmeleri için müdahalelere duyulan ihtiyacı göstermektedir.

Abstract
The aim of thisThis study isaims to evaluate the nutritional attitudes and behaviorsbehaviours of 6-8 years -year-old children. A total of 347 students, 183 boys and 164 girls, aged 6-8, participated in the study. Data were collected by applying a survey form, including the Nutrition Attitude Scale and the Nutrition Behavior Scale, which questioned the demographic characteristics of the children, by the researcher. The children's Nutrition Attitude Scale mean score was 13.83±2.03, and their Nutrition Behavior Scale score was 2.57±4.53. A weak correlation was found between the children's nutritional attitude scores and their eating behaviorbehaviour scores (r=0.212, p<0.001). As a result of the study, it was seen that the healthy eating habits of the children participating in the study were at a moderate level. The results of this study show the need for interventions for children to have and maintain positive nutritional attitudes and behaviorsbehaviours.
