- W3169284204 abstract "To understand how community perspectives toward young child nutritional illness compare to biomedical perspectives in Sri Lanka. This ethnographic sub-study was embedded in a multi-phase, mixed methods formative research design to understand infant and young child feeding practices in urban, rural, and estate sectors of Sri Lanka. Data were collected among caregivers of young children to understand nutritional illness using free lists (n = 150), pile sorts (n = 84), semi-structured interviews with caregivers (n = 21) and community leaders (n = 24). Data were collected in Sinhalese and Tamil languages and translated into English for analysis. Free list and pile sort data were analyzed using cultural domain analysis with Anthropac. Textual data were analyzed thematically using Dedoose. Data sets were combined for methodological triangulation. During interviews, caregivers described a combination of biomedical and traditional medicine approaches for treating common childhood illness, a reflection of the continued importance of traditional medical belief systems. Beliefs grounded in Ayurvedic medicine remain important drivers of health and nutrition-seeking behaviors. Consumption of ‘cold’ foods was frequently cited as an important cause of child illness. Some caregivers did explain that promoted foods such as eggs, leafy green vegetables, fruits, and green grams are appropriate dietary choices for good child health and nutrition. Cultural domain analysis revealed nutrition-related illnesses were less salient than other common young child illnesses such as fever, common cold, and cough. Low weight was the only nutritional illness that appeared in the top 15 most salient illnesses among participants. Despite a 17% average child stunting prevalence across all sectors of Sri Lanka, chronic malnutrition and stunting were not mentioned by nearly all participants, suggesting that a local understanding of this condition may not align with the biomedical importance placed on it by health professionals. Overweight/obesity did not appear to be a concern despite a growing national prevalence. Policies and programs aimed at improving infant and young child feeding practices in Sri Lanka may benefit from understanding and incorporating community perspectives toward nutrition-related illnesses.
