Filter by:Objective: The study aimed to compare the effects of breastfeeding education and skin-to-skin contact on breastfeeding efficiency and maternal attachment. Design: This study was planned as a three-group randomized controlled study. Setting and participants: This study will conduct with 92 women in a delivery room in Turkey between October 2021 and May 2022. Methods: The study consists of continuous early skin-to-skin contact (SSC; Group A), breastfeeding education (Group B), and control groups (Group C). Group A received SSC education and Group B received structured breastfeeding education.
This study aimed to provide the validity and reliability of the Indonesian ASQ-3 questionnaires as a screening tool for developmentally delayed children aged less than one year old. This study was divided into 2 phases. The first phase (April-June 2018) included the transcultural adaptation of the ASQ-3 questionnaires for 2 to 12 months age groups from English to Indonesian. The second phase (July- September 2018) included a cross-sectional study of Indonesian ASQ-3 questionnaires for parents/caregivers of children aged 1-12 months, with 35 children in each age group by cluster sampling methods, in 2 district areas in East Jakarta.
The purpose of this research is to study two different approaches to exercise during pregnancy that investigators believe will result in improved health for moms and babies. The investigators are trying to determine if the two types of exercise programs (supervised & home exercise) result in health improvements for moms and babies. The investigators also want to see if the tests and questionnaires used in the study can detect changes in a mom's aerobic fitness, quality of life (QOL), fatigue, sleep quality, depression, and weight change throughout pregnancy and 6-months after birth.
The aim of the study was to derive a Polish version of the AIMS through its cultural adaptation and validation. This process was based on an analysis of intra- and interrater reliability, as well as concurrent validity, using PDMS-2.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether educating parents about how to play with infants affects infant development or caregiver characteristics. The project will comparatively evaluate the effects of two different play education programs on infants' development and on caregiver characteristics in a sample of infants with typical development and a sample of infants with/at risk for developmental delay.
In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), infants encounter many sensory stimuli (excessive noise, bright lights, painful medical applications, etc.) that are not present in the uterus. During the critical period of brain development, this sensory overload affects the physiological responses of infants; It can lead to sensory processing problems by causing negative changes in motor, neurological and sensory development. Sensory processing was explained by Dunn as the emergence of appropriate reactions and behaviors in neurological processes in which visual, auditory, tactile, oral, olfactory, vestibular, proprioceptive and kinesthetic inputs are regulated.
High risk infant is defined as infant with a negative history of environmental and biological factors, which can lead to neuromotor development problems. It is a heterogeneous group of premature infants born under thirty-seven weeks of age, with infants with low birth weight, term or developmental retardation for various reasons. Therefore, preterm infants with low birth weight can survive with a neurological sequelae such as cerebral palsy (CP), epilepsy, hearing and vision loss, mental retardation, speech and speech problems, and learning difficulties. The clinical diagnosis of CP, which can be observed in high-risk infants, is based on the combination of some neuroimaging and neurological examinations and assesments like neonatal imaging, general movements (GMs) and Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE).

The Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) is an instrument that assesses the quality and quantity of motor development opportunities available in the home for infants aged 3 to 18 months. Since its initial publication, the AHEMD-IS has grown in popularity as a clinical tool and research criterion. Furthermore, the AHEMD-IS supports the claim that environmental factors can have a positive impact on future motor skills and later cognitive behaviors of infants. Also it is stated that environmental factors are associated with infant motor development and motor abilities. As of writing, it has been translated into eight languages from the original English version and has been reported as valid and reliable in countries such as China, Spain, Lebanon, and Persia. The aim of this study was to produce the Turkish version of the AHEMD-IS and to reveal the validity and reliability of this version.
Eating difficulties in infants and young children are defined as all the difficulties in feeding oneself in an appropriate and satisfactory manner. These disorders affect approximately 20 to 25% of infants and young children, and thus constitute one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in these age groups. Many of these children continue to be received in consultation. Studies show that the lack of intraoral exploration in children could be associated with later difficulties in accepting different textures or new foods. Our clinical examination of sensorimotor functions shows signs of sensory hyper reactivity that are very common in children who always wipe their hands when in contact with food or sticky objects and for those who experience difficulty in brushing or grooming themselves. In all of the publications available which includes pubmed, there is no mention of the lack of exploration of objects and the stigma of sensory hyper-responsiveness even if this latter was not entirely detailed in the descriptions made. The trial hypothesis is that this exploration defect corresponds to early sensory hyperreactivity which also plays a deleterious role in the acceptance of new textures and new foods. In this trial we propose a comparison study with a controlled population of children without eating difficulties as defined by the Montreal MCH score to validate a statistical link between the difficulties in food diversification beyond 18 months and the lack of exploration of the environment with 'mouthing' between 6 and 10 months. Investigators will analyse consultation questionnaires dedicated to eating difficulties retrospectively (patients) and will compare them with questionnaires of children from daycares without eating difficulties (controls).
