ABSTRACT
The samples of experimental and control groups were obtained by 1 ∶ 1 matching method and divided into development (242 pairs) and sign (156 pairs) groups.Through a 10-month group and case type intervention,Gesell test was performed for 5 zone development quotients of large motor,fine motor,adaptability,speech and personal-social to determinate the effectiveness of interventions.Before intervention,t values of the development group were 1.07,1.42,0.78,0.62 and 1.67 while those of sign group-1.48,-1.96,1.82,1.78 and-1.73 respectively.The inter-group comparison of various developmental quotient differences had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).After intervention,t values of the development group were 9.85,8.92,3.57,11.21 and 9.30 for inter-group comparison and-31.65,-36.94,-46.26,-37.56 and-49.85 for intra-group comparison.The results of sign group were 10.91,9.61,10.75,12.01 and 14.36 for inter-group comparison and-23.20,-31.75,-44.94,-33.58 and-54.58 for intra-group comparison.Between intra-group and inter-group,the comparison of the developmental quotient differences had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.01).In two experimental groups,the post-intervention developmental quotients in 5 zones are better than those pre-intervention levels.It shows that preventive intervention of infant mental health is effective.
