Objective To explore the effect of sequential and comprehensive preventative measures on the development of premature infants' intelligence.Methods A cohort of 120 premature infants was randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,each of 60.Both groups were given routine premature infant care,but the observation group was additionally provided with sequential and comprehensive preventive intervention.It included neonatal screening,inpatient-outpatient link-up,and their parents' watching CDs explaining early childhood education and health education.All of the infants were followed up from birth to 3 years old.Their adaptive capacity,fine motor skills,language acquisition,gross motor skills and social communication were evaluated at 12,24 and 36 months old using a child intelligence developmental scale for neurological development.Development intelligence quotients (DQs) were calculated and compared.Results After 12 months,significant inter-group differences were observed in adaptability and fine motor control.At 24 and 36 months old there were also significant differences in language skills.At one,two and 3 years old the average DQ of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group.Significant within-group differences in average DQ were observed in both groups between 1 and 2 years old,but not between 2 and 3.Conclusion Intervention within two years after birth is critical for premature infants.Timely,sequential,integrated,preventive intervention can promote the development of intelligence and better life quality for premature infants.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: el lenguaje es un mecanismo primordial en la comunicación humana, el cual ejerce una influencia positiva en la esfera psicológica del individuo. En los niños con síndorme de Down son frecuentes los trastornos del lenguaje y aunque existen programas diseñados para padres y educadores, estos deben ser extensivos y ajustados para aplicar a las familias de estos niños.Objetivo: incrementar el conocimiento sobre los trastornos del lenguaje en los padres y/o madres de niños con síndorme de Down de un círculo infantil especial, a través de una estrategia educativa.Métodos: se aplicó una estrategia educativa con un diseño ambispectivo de estudio pre-test y post-test, para explorar el conocimiento que poseían un grupo de padres y/o madres sobre el desarrollo del lenguaje de sus hijos con síndorme de Down, matriculados en un círculo Infantil especial. El estudio se dividió en tres fases: en la fase inicial se aplicó una encuesta; en la segunda fase se aplicaron los talleres a todos los padres y/o madres; y la tercera fase consistió en la aplicación de la encuesta inicial.Resultados: después de los talleres todos los padres y/o madres reconocían los trastornos del lenguaje en sus hijos, la participación en la estimulación aumentó significativamente al lograrse que 19 (90,5 porciento) de ellos cooperaran y las perspectivas de mejoría futura mejoraron significativamente pues estuvieron presentes en 14 (66,7 porciento) progenitores.Conclusiones: aumentó el conocimiento de los padres y/o madres sobre los trastornos del lenguaje, a partir de la estrategia educativa desarrollada por los mismos
Background: language is a fundamental mechanism in human communication which has a positive influence on the psychological sphere of the individual. In children with Down syndrome, language disorders are common although there are programs which have been designed for parents and educators, which should be extended and adjusted to apply them to the families of these children.Objectives: to increase knowledge about language disorders through an educational strategy for the parents of children with Down syndrome in a special nursery.Methods: we applied an educational strategy with a pre-test / post- test ambispective design study to explore the knowledge that a group of parents had on language development of children with Down syndrome, enrolled in a special nursery. The study was divided into three phases: the initial phase in which a survey was applied, the second phase in which workshops were applied to all parents, and the third phase which consisted on the implementation of the initial survey.Results: after the workshops, all parents recognized language disorders in their children. The participation in the stimulation increased significantly achieving that 19 (90.5 per cent) of them were very cooperative. The perspectives for future development improved significantly because 14 (66.7per cent) parents were present.Conclusions: parents´ knowledge about language disorders increased after the education strategy that was developed for them

The purpose of this study was to obtain an understanding of the association of personality preferences and food behavior factors in middle school students. The subjects were 319 boys and girls in a middle school located in Kyunggi province. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess demographic factors, dietary habits and psychosocial factors including self-efficacy, perceived benefits and barriers. The MMTIC (Murphy-Meisgeier Type Inventory for Children) test was used to assess the personality preferences of the students. Sixty-seven percent of the subjects were extrovert, 53.9% were the sensing type, 76.8% were the feeling type and 81.8% were the perceiving type in personality preferences. The extrovert had higher self-efficacy than the introvert. The feeling type perceived more benefits and fewer barriers than the thinking type. The education levels of the parents, especially mothers, were positively related with self-efficacy and dietary habit scores of the students. The self-efficacy and perceived benefits and barriers were significantly associated with dietary habits of the students (explained variance: 17.9%). Results of this study presented the relationship of character types and parents' education levels on psychosocial food behavior factors and a need for the development of tailored nutrition education program considering these factors.
