ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the effects of early intervention on physical and neurological development of premature infants.Methods:One hundred and fifty-two premature infants born in Pan′an County Maternal and Child Health Family Planning Service Center from January 2017 to June 2018 were randomly selected. According to parents′ wishes, 75 cases received regular systematic health care and parenting guidance(control group), and 77 cases received targeted intervention guidance and individualized training on the basis of the control group(intervention group). The results of mental development index (MDI) and psychomotor Development index(PDI) were evaluated at 6 and 12 months respectively.Results:Six and 12 months after treatment, the MDI scores of the intervention group were significant higher than those of the control group [(94.2 ± 5.2) scores vs. (85.3 ± 6.1) scores, (104.9 ± 3.9) scores vs. (91.7 ± 5.7) scores], the PDI scores of the intervention group were also significant higher than those of control group [93.7 ± 4.3) scores vs. (81.7 ± 5.5) scores, (96.9 ± 3.8) scores vs. (83.9 ± 4.6) scores], and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Results:Early comprehensive intervention for premature infants has a good effect on their intelligence and motor ability development, which is worthy of clinical application.
