Objective: To determine the association between knowledge and feeding practices in pregnant women attended in a Hospital in Lima, 2017.  Methods: The study design is observational, quantitative, analytical and transversal. A sample of 279 pregnant women was selected who attended in Hospital Vitarte during the month of September 2017, evaluated by the surveys that measured the study parameters. Later, the data were analyzed by the statistical SPSS version 22. The frequencies of the main variables were obtained, for the degree of association the basis of the calculation of the probabilities and the 95% confidence intervals were applied. In addition, the significant chi square was analyzed with p <0.05. Results: It was demonstrated that knowledge about feeding and feeding practices in pregnant women had no significant participation (p = 0.51, OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 0.63-2.45). In additio...

OBJETIVO: Determinar la asociación entre los conocimientos y las prácticas de alimentación en gestantes atendidas en el Hospital Vitarte en el mes de Setiembre 2017. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: El diseño del estudio es de tipo observacional, cuantitativo, analítico y transversal. Se utilizó una muestra de 279 gestantes que asistían al consultorio externo de Gineco-obstetricia en el Hospital Vitarte en el mes de Setiembre del 2017, evaluadas por dos encuestas validadas que median los parámetros de estudio. Posteriormente los datos fueron ordenados, tabulados y analizados luego mediante el paquete estadístico SPSS versión 22. Para determinar el grado de asociación se aplicó la base del cálculo del Odds Ratio con intervalo de confianza al 95% y se analizó el chi cuadrado significativo con p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Se demostró que los conocimientos sobre la alimentación y las prácticas...
