Problem and its Context
This problem arises in response to having observed in this IE “095 Mercedes
Coveñas Gómez”, located in the hamlet of Sanfrancisco-Jurisdicción De
Corrales, this is an IE, in which malnutrition is one of the problems that is
attacking children over 6 years of age .
At the San Francisco educational institution, some children had a moderate and
acceptable attitude, they were collaborators and enthusiastic, on the contrary
other children presented an introverted behavior without wanting to participate
and were discouraged when visiting said educational institution.
According to the international manual of classification of diseases, it is a
possible medical complication, but it can be prevented and has a very important
impact on the results of treatments.
Nowadays, malnutrition is accepted as a common factor in clinical practice that
has as consequences an increase in the length of hospital stay, morbidity and
mortality in hospitalized patients, due to the high risk of complications such as
infections, phlebitis, pulmonary embolism, respiratory failure, poor wound
healing and fistula that they suffer.
Malnutrition is the disease caused by insufficient provision of fuels
(carbohydrates - fats) and proteins. Malnutrition is the leading cause of death of
infants and young children in developing countries. Prevention is a priority of the
World Health Organization.
The nutritional status under normal conditions is the result of the balance
between what is consumed and what is required, which is determined by the
quality and quantity of nutrients in the diet and by their complete utilization in
the body.

Factors associated with malnutrition in children over 6 to 10 years of age in the
EI "095 Mercedes Coveñas Gómez” San Francisco MAY-JULY 2016.

PROBLEM FORMULATION:

What are the factors associated with malnutrition in children over 6-10 years of
age from the IE “095 Mercedes Coveñas Gómez” San Francisco-Corrales May-
July 2016?

GOALS:

GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

Recognize the factors associated with malnutrition in children over 6 to 10 years

of age in the EI "095 Mercedes Coveñas Gómez” San Francisco-Corrales May-
July 2016.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

1. Determine the degree of malnutrition of children over 6-10 years of age

in the EI “095 Mercedes Coveñas Gómez” San Francisco-Corrales May-
July 2016.

2. Identify the factors that influence malnutrition in children over 6 to 10

years of age from the EI “095 Mercedes Coveñas Gómez” San
Francisco-Corrales May-July 2016.

3. Explain the healthy diet to the children of the EI “095 Mercedes Coveñas
Gómez” San Francisco-Corrales May-July 2016.

JUSTIFICATION

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TUMBES Page 4

 The research is justified from a very broad context, since recent
calculations show that 50% of deaths in children under 5 years of age were
attributable to the effect of malnutrition, and that 83% of these deaths were due
to mild malnutrition. or moderate.

Although the synergistic effect between malnutrition and infection as

causes of infant mortality has long been recognized, when strategies are
developed to reduce the number of deaths in children, those aimed at reducing
infectious diseases are prioritized.

The social relevance of this research is based on the fact that it will benefit not
only the children of the IE “095 Mercedes Coveñas Gómez” San Francisco-
Corrales, who are the object of the study, it can also benefit other children and
parents of other IE in order to contribute to the increase in good eating habits in
those families, as well as knowledge about good nutrition at home and at
children's school. Likewise, better nutritional conditions will positively favor the
learning and socialization possibilities of children and young people, which
undoubtedly has an impact on increasing job opportunities.

The practical usefulness is to apply talks or training to parents about healthy

eating, such as identifying which foods are the healthiest for their family, as well
as how to change their sedentary lifestyle to a dynamic lifestyle and thus these
parents will be able to Contribute to improving the quality of life of these
children's childhood. In this way we hope, in the first instance, to bring the
malnutrition figures to zero in children over 6 to 10 years of age and their
families who today present some degree of malnutrition, since from there it will
be possible to see better rates of growth and development in the child
population and lower rates of diseases associated with malnutrition.

LIMITATIONS

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TUMBES Page 5

The project is limited to the hamlet of San Francisco (Corrales District) in IE 095
“Mercedes Coveñas Gómez”, which was selected in order to find out the degree
of malnutrition of the children of said institution.

In this research project, the most important limitation is considered the lack of
cooperation of the people involved in feeding the children (father/mother or
caregiver); Therefore this will lead to a deficit in the nutrition of children.

Another limitation is the lack of information being provided quickly, accurately

and objectively so that people know the consequences that a poor diet can
have; This will lead to people not being able to correctly manage the nutrition
problem in their home in the future.

Another limitation is of a social nature, since many of the people who live in that
area have a low level of education, many of them will be reluctant to provide
information on the current state of health of their children and answer the
questions that we ask as part of the data collection.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

National

In 1990, UNICEF (State of the World's Children) proposed an explanatory

model of child malnutrition. It comprehensively describes the phenomena
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TUMBES Page 6
related to the nutritional problem, it has managed to organize them by levels of
causal proximity, without losing explanatory capacity and simplicity.

In Peru at the end of the 20th century, one in four children under five years of

age was damaged by a nutritional deficit that had marked them with low height

for their age.

In the last decade, the Ministry of Education carried out the First National Height

Census in schoolchildren, demonstrating that 48% of children between 6 and 9

years of age suffered from chronic malnutrition, being more critical among boys

with 54% and in children in rural areas since it affected 67%; Although the

national average of 5 hides the enormous existing inequality, as disaggregation

progresses, the differential ranges increase, the highest level of chronic

malnutrition is found in the rural area of the province of Atalaya, department of

Ucayali with 91% and the lowest with 7% in the urban area of the Jorge

Basadre province of the department of Tacna.

Knowing the background of the factors that are associated with chronic

malnutrition, the NGO Salud (non-governmental organization) collected

information with the objective of observing factors such as characteristics,

knowledge and aptitude of the mother to describe the Chronic malnutrition in

children from 3 to 5 years old. The type of sampling they used was simple

random probabilistic, the sample size was obtained in proportion to the size of

the population of each initial educational center in the Huachipa area. Although

it is true that the size of the sample obtained by the

NGO Salud, was not optimal since firstly the variable percentage of chronic

malnutrition in children from 3 to 5 years old in said schools was not considered

to obtain the sample size; but the variable, periodically check how your child is

doing at school; since the instrument for measuring the information was the

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TUMBES Page 7

survey carried out on mothers, which consists of 38 questions, with topics of

education, psychology, stimulation, nutrition and the mother's contribution to

school, etc.

Duran B, (Mexico 2010), in his research “the mother's occupation as a

determining factor of the nutritional status of children under 7 years of age in

Ciudad Juárez”, whose objective was to study the influence of the mother's

occupation on the nutritional status of children under 7 years of age from

Ciudad Juárez. Its population and sample were 380 children <7 years old. Their

percentile distribution was determined for Age (E), height (T), weight (P) and

body mass index (BMI). The participants were stratified by mother's occupation

(group M : Maquiladora/Industry; group H : Home; group O : Other occupation)

and family salary level and the frequency of nutritional alterations was

evaluated. The results obtained were: 13.4% of all participants had wasting

(losing weight), low height and weight. The frequencies of low weight and

Sp/Ob were significantly higher (p<0.05) in children in group M (8.0 and 16.7%)

than in O (6.1 and 12.1%) and H (5.0 and 8.3%). Compared to group H , the

frequency of wasting was higher in M and O (~2.4%), while short stature was

slightly lower in group M (7.4%) but higher in group O (1.9%).

INTERNATIONAL

1978, with the Declaration of Alma Ata, in which the motto "Health for all by
the year 2000" was established (3), health promotion has been an axis of
orientation for the creation of conditions that improve and promote health
as a basic universal right, placing it as one of the best investments to
achieve the economic and social development of countries. In this sense,

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TUMBES Page 8

emphasis was placed on the Primary Health Care Strategy (PHC) to solve
health problems associated with deficiencies.

In Latin America and the Caribbean , chronic malnutrition affects 8.8 million
children under 5 years of age (16%). The situation is particularly serious in
Central American and Andean countries. Guatemala has the highest figure in
the region, which exceeds the averages for Asia and Africa. For its part, during
the 1990s, progress in reducing chronic malnutrition has been slower (19.1% to
15.8%). It is necessary to emphasize that the national averages do not reflect
the great disparities that exist within countries. For example, the probability that
a child living in a rural area suffers from global malnutrition is between 1.5 and
3.7 times higher than that of a child living in an urban area, and at least 4 times
higher among indigenous children.

Research Level
A descriptive and cross-sectional study was designed. The population studied
were malnourished children from IE 095 “MERCEDES COVEÑAS GOMEZ”,
located in the hamlet of San Francisco Corlares-Tumbes and with a responsible
population of 60 students. The observation units were in the Malvales health
center, since the health center has been monitoring children over 6 years of
age, in the registry there are some incidences of malnutrition in said institution.
The anthropometric data recorded in them were used as a way to evaluate the
nutritional status of the children, taking into account that anthropometry allows
cross-sectional studies to be carried out to identify malnutrition, assess it using
cut-off points to establish prevalence and clinically follow the children, since
Decreased growth rate is a fairly sensitive indicator of nutritional deficiencies or
disease.
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TUMBES Page 13
 RESEARCH DESIGN

In this research work, the design was used: Non- experimental, transversal,
correlational.

Non-experimental: Because the variables were not manipulated, and they

were worked with in their natural context, without altering or varying the social
factors associated with the risk of malnutrition in children over 6 years of age.

Cross-sectional: Because data were collected at a single moment and in a

single time, also because its purpose is to describe variables and analyze their
incidence and interrelation at a given moment.

Correlational: Because it allowed us to associate social factors and the risk of

malnutrition in children over 6 years of age who were treated at the Malvales
health center in 2016.

Inclusion criteria
All boys and girls over 6 years of age who were registered at the Malvales
Health Post were considered for the medical care provided at said IE.

Exclusion criteria
Boys and girls over 6 years of age, registered at the Malvales Health Post, in
whom information on the following characteristics is not found: age, sex, weight
and/or height. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the total study
population was 60 boys and girls assigned to the Malvales Health Post.

INSTRUMENTS
In this research study, the SURVEY technique and the NUTRITIONAL TEST
will be used to collect data provided by themselves and thus obtain the required
information on the variables under study: age, job, educational level, economic
income.

The QUESTIONNAIRE will be used, which consists of a printed form, based on

a set of closed questions regarding the variables of social and economic
factors, which consists of 9 questions divided into two parts (Economic Income
and Basic Services).

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TUMBES Page 16

A nutritional test will also be used, which consists of a printed form, based on a
set of closed questions regarding the variables of child malnutrition, which
consists of 11 questions; This instrument will help us to complement the data
obtained through it and obtain a complete profile of eating habits.

Validity and reliability

The instrument has been developed by the students themselves who are doing
the research project and will then be subjected to the following test: which is the
pilot test to measure reliability.

Pilot test will be applied to 20% of the sample, which is a total of 20 mothers
who take their boys and girls to the IE “095 Mercedes Coveñas Gómez” San
Francisco-Corrales, due to their similar characteristics to our study population,
the which will not be part of the sample.
