| dc.description | Nutritional status under normal conditions is the result of a balance between what is consumed and what is required, which can be affected by the mothers' lack of knowledge about complementary feeding. Objective: determine the relationship between the nutritional status and knowledge of mothers of children under 2 years of age about complementary feeding at the Vinchoa Health Center in the Guaranda canton, period June - September 2024. Methodology: This research was field-based, non-experimental, analytical, cross-sectional correlational with quantitative approach. Based on scientific theories, data collection through a survey validated by experts and the taking of anthropometric measurements. Results: 13.8% were at risk of underweight, 4.6% were underweight, 23.9% were at risk of low height, 15.6% and 6.4% were at risk of low height and severe low height, 18.3% were at risk of overweight, 10.1% were overweight and 5.5% were at risk of microcephaly. In general, mothers have adequate knowledge regarding the age of the child between 6 and 8 months. Conclusions: The relationship between nutritional status and the knowledge of mothers of children under 2 years of age about complementary feeding was determined: 11% of cases of low height risk and 3.7% of low height belonged to mothers with inadequate knowledge about the type of food according to the age of the child. Regarding inadequate knowledge of food consistency, 3.7% were at risk of stunting, 4.6% were stunted and 1.8% were severely stunted. Finally, 3.7% of cases were at risk of stunting and 2.8% were stunted due to inadequate knowledge about frequency of consumption. It is recommended to have a multidisciplinary approach in the corresponding health unit, to provide individualized nutritional care, early monitoring and to implement educational activities for mothers and caregivers about complementary feeding. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El estado nutricional en condiciones normales es el resultado de un equilibrio entre la consumido y lo requerido, el cual, puede verse afectado por la falta de conocimiento de las madres sobre alimentación complementaria. Objetivo: determinar la relación del estado nutricional y conocimientos de las madres de niños menores de 2 años sobre alimentación complementaria en Centro de Salud Vinchoa del cantón Guaranda, período junio – septiembre 2024. Metodología: Esta investigación fue de campo, no experimental, analítica, correlacional de corte transversal con enfoque cuantitativo. Fundamentado a través de teorías científicas, recolección de datos por medio de una encuesta validada por expertos y la toma de medidas antropométricas. Resultados: el 13.8% presentó riesgo de bajo peso, el 4.6% bajo peso, el 23.9% tuvo riesgo de baja talla, el 15.6% y 6.4% baja talla y baja talla severa, el 18.3% presentó riesgo de sobrepeso, el 10.1% sobrepeso y el 5.5% de casos microcefalia, con respecto a la introducción de alimentos, el 73.4% de madres tiene un conocimiento adecuado. En general las madres poseen un conocimiento adecuado en lo que respecta a la edad del niño entre 6 a 8 meses. Conclusiones: Se determinó la relación del estado nutricional con los conocimientos de las madres de niños menores de 2 años sobre alimentación complementaria: el 11% de casos de riesgo de baja talla, y el 3.7% baja, talla pertenecieron a madres con un conocimiento inadecuado en relación a al tipo de alimento según la edad del niño. En torno al conocimiento inadecuado de la consistencia de los alimentos, el 3.7% tuvo riesgo de baja talla, el 4.6% baja talla y el 1.8% baja talla severa. Finalmente, el 3.7% de casos presentó riesgo de baja talla y el 2.8% baja talla conforme a los conocimientos inadecuados en torno a la frecuencia de consumo. Se recomienda tener un enfoque multidisciplinario en la unidad de salud correspondiente, brindar atención nutricional individualizada, un monitoreo temprano y se sugiere implementar actividades educativas para madres y cuidadores acerca de la alimentación completaría. | es_ES |
