Enquadramento: A formação no curso de mestrado em Enfermagem de Saúde Infantil e Pediátrica permitiu o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos e competências essenciais à prática especializada. O percurso formativo em estágio e a realização de um estudo de investigação contribuíram para a consolidação da prática profissional.
Objetivos: Descrever, analisar e refletir sobre o desenvolvimento de competências ao longo do percurso formativo em estágio; verificar se existe associação entre o estilo de vida dos pais e o estado nutricional dos filhos com idades entre os 6 e os 18 anos.
Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo-correlacional e transversal. Participaram uma amostra não probabilística por conveniência de 71 pais e cuidadores de crianças e adolescentes com idades entre os 6 e os 18 anos. A recolha de dados foi realizada através de questionário online. Os dados foram analisados com recurso ao SPSS, utilizando estatística descritiva e testes não paramétricos.
Resultados: Verificou-se uma elevada prevalência de excesso de peso nas crianças e um IMC médio dos pais indicativo de excesso de peso. Observou-se associação estatisticamente significativa entre o IMC dos pais e o dos filhos.
Conclusão: O estágio e o estudo de investigação contribuíram para a aquisição de competências essenciais à prática especializada. Os resultados obtidos reforçam a importância da formação e sensibilização dos enfermeiros para a promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis, evidenciando o papel do ambiente familiar no estado nutricional das crianças.

Abstract Background: The master’s degree in Paediatric and Child Health Nursing enabled the development of knowledge and competencies essential to specialized nursing practice. The clinical training period and the development of a research study contributed to the consolidation of professional practice. Objectives: To describe, analyze, and reflect on the development of competencies throughout the clinical training period; to assess whether there is an association between parental lifestyle and the nutritional status of children aged 6 to 18 years. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive-correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted. A non-probabilistic convenience sample of 71 parents and caregivers of children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years participated in the study. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS, applying descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests. Results: A high prevalence of overweight was observed among children, and parents presented a mean BMI indicative of overweight. A statistically significant association was found between parental BMI and children’s BMI. Conclusion: The clinical training period and the research study contributed to the acquisition of essential competencies for specialized practice. The findings highlight the importance of training and raising awareness among nurses to promote healthy lifestyles, emphasizing the role of the family environment in children’s nutritional status.
