Abstract:
ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the factors associated with the registration of infant feeding and clinical complications in the handbook of children under three years of age living in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study, carried out with 424 handbooks of children under three years old registered in Family Health Units in João Pessoa, Paraíba. Data were collected from May to November 2019 and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, using Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests. In this investigation, it was found that only 1.9% of the handbooks analyzed had data related to food and 0.9% had recorded some data about the child’s clinical complications. Furthermore, the sociodemographic characteristics of those guardians/caregivers and the children did not present a statistically significant association with the records of food and clinical complications in the Child’s Handbook. It is concluded that the record on infant feeding and clinical complications in the Child’s Handbook is precarious. This reality represents a gap in the continuity of child care and may hamper efforts to reduce child morbidity and mortality.
