ABSTRACT
 Objective: The study aimed to examine the practices of mothers regarding the use of supplements, herbs-spices and child nutrition during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic lockdown in a sample of Turkish mothers. Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional was study conducted in Karabük province of Türkiye. Five hundred and sixty five mothers with children aged 2-18 participated in the study. For data collection, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the foods consumed by children and the practices of mothers on child nutrition. Descriptive statistical methods, and the chi-square test for differences between groups in terms of categorical variables was used. Results: Eighty-nine percent of mothers had used at least one product to protect their children from COVID-19. While the use of supplements by the mothers was 62%, the use of herbs and spices was 74%. A significant difference was found between the type of product used by the mothers and the state of mothers' being informed about the use of any product (Psupplement<0.001; Pherbs-spices< 0.001). Conclusion: Especially the mothers who resorted to these products used them without getting any information. In order for parents to access evidence-based information on child nutrition, training given by health professionals in a virtual learning environment is important for mothers to learn proper nutrition practices.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Türk annelerin koronavirüs hastalığı- 2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemisi sürecinde takviye edici gıda, bitki-baharat kullanımı ve çocuk beslenmesine ilişkin uygulamalarının incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel çalışma Türkiye'nin Karabük ilinde yapıldı. Araştırmaya 2-18 yaş arası çocuğu olan 565 anne katıldı. Verilerin toplanmasında çocukların tükettiği besinler ve annelerin çocuk beslenmesine yönelik uygulamalarının değerlendirildiği bir anket formu kullanıldı. Tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler ve kategorik değişkenler açısından gruplar arasındaki farklar için ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Annelerin %89'u çocuklarını COVID-19'dan korumak amacıyla en az bir gıda kullanmıştır. Annelerin takviye edici gıda kullanımı %62 iken, bitki ve baharat kullanımı %74 idi. Annelerin kullandıkları gıda türü ile herhangi bir gıda kullanımı hakkında bilgi sahibi olma durumu arasında anlamlı fark bulundu (Ptakviye edici gıda<0,001; Pbitki-baharat< 0,001). Sonuç: Özellikle takviye edici gıda ve bitki-baharat kullanımına başvuran anneler hiçbir bilgi almadan bu gıdaları kullanmıştır. Anne babaların çocuk beslenmesi konusunda kanıta dayalı bilgilere ulaşabilmeleri için sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından sanal bir öğrenme ortamında verilen eğitimler, annelerin doğru beslenme uygulamalarını öğrenmeleri açısından önemlidir.
