“…[1][2][3][4][5] Maintaining healthy sleep practices may be particularly important for children born preterm, as preterm birth is also associated with the deleterious outcomes listed above. 6 In addition, children born preterm are at increased risk of sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS). 7 If preterm children are found to have short sleep duration or irregular scheduling of bed and wake times, this may have an additive effect on daytime dysfunction.…”

Study Objectives:To compare sleep/wake patterns in children born preterm in Australia vs Canada and determine cultural differences in the relationship between parental perception of sleep and actual sleep behaviors. Methods: Australian and Canadian children born preterm were recruited from the Caffeine for Apnea of Prematurity trial (n = 188, 5-12 y) and underwent 14 days actigraphy monitoring. Parents completed the National Sleep Foundation 2004 Sleep in America questionnaire. Cross-cultural differences in sleep characteristics assessed by actigraphy and parent-reported questionnaire were examined. Correlational analyses determined the associations between parental perceptions of child sleep need and sleep behavior. Results: Actigraphy showed preterm children obtained, on average, 8 h sleep/night, one hour less than population recommendations for their age. There was no difference in total sleep time (TST) between Australian and Canadian cohorts; however, bed and wake times were earlier in Australian children. Bedtimes and TST varied by 60 minutes from night to night in both cohorts. Parent-reported child TST on the National Sleep Foundation questionnaire was 90 minutes longer than recorded by actigraphy. Both bedtime and TST on weekdays and weekends were related to parental perception of child sleep need in the Australian cohort. Only TST on weekdays was related to parental perception of child sleep need in the Canadian cohort. Conclusions: This study suggests that short sleep duration and irregular sleep schedules are common in children born preterm. Cultural differences in the association between parental perception of child sleep need and actual sleep behaviors provide important targets for future sleep health education.

“…Espírito Santo et al (2009) used other instruments and verified that 60% of preschoolers had behavioral problems. There is a need to consider that, in addition to children being evaluated with different instruments, participants of the study of Espírito Santo et al (2009) were predominantly extremely premature, with a gestational age less than 26 weeks, and it was already proved that the lower the gestational age and weight at birth, the higher the risk for emotional and behavioral changes during development (Moreira et al, 2014).…”

Given the significant increase in survival rates of prematurely born children, this study assessed their quality of life at school age and identified potential risk and protective factors. We included 57 children with premature birth aged 5 to 8 years. Participants completed a cognitive test, and their parents assessed their behavior and quality of life. Most children presented an average or high intellectual level. Despite the mildly compromised quality of life, we observed a high prevalence of behavioral problems in older children. Male participants and behavioral problems were identified as risk factors for lower quality of life; this finding indicates the need to implement systematic monitoring services to facilitate adaptation of premature born children when entering in the school.Keywords: quality of life, premature birth, risk factors, childhood development Qualidade de Vida em Crianças Nascidas Prematuras: Fatores de Risco e ProteçãoResumo: Considerando-se o aumento significativo nos índices de sobrevida de crianças nascidas prematuras, objetivou-se avaliar sua qualidade de vida em idade escolar e identificar possíveis fatores de risco e proteção. 57 crianças de 5 a 8 anos, nascidas prematuras, responderam a um teste cognitivo e os pais avaliaram seu comportamento e qualidade de vida. A maioria das crianças apresentou nível intelectual médio ou superior. Apesar do leve prejuízo na qualidade de vida, observou-se alta prevalência de problemas de comportamento nas crianças maiores. Identificou-se sexo masculino e problemas comportamentais como fatores de risco para qualidade de vida, sinalizando para a necessidade de serviços de acompanhamento antes do ingresso da criança nascida prematura na escola, visando facilitar sua adaptação. Palavras-chave: qualidade de vida, nascimento prematuro, fatores de risco, desenvolvimento infantil Calidad de Vida en Niños Prematuros: Factores de Riesgo y ProtecciónResumen: Ante el aumento significativo en las tasas de supervivencia de los recién nacidos prematuros, este estudio tuvo el objetivo de evaluar la calidad de vida de estos niños en edad escolar e identificar posibles factores de riesgo y protección. Cincuenta y siete niños de 5-8 años de edad, nacidos prematuros, contestaron una prueba cognitiva y los padres calificaron su comportamiento y calidad de vida. La mayoría de los niños presentó nivel intelectual promedio o superior. A pesar de pocos daños en la calidad de vida, fue encontrada alta prevalencia de problemas de conducta en los niños mayores. El sexo masculino y problemas conductuales se presentaron como factores de riesgo para la calidad de vida, lo que indica que son necesarios servicios de seguimiento para los niños nascidos prematuros antes que empiecen la escuela, para facilitar su adaptación.Palabras clave: calidad de vida, nacimiento prematuro, factores de riesgo, desarrollo infantil

“…Some children were classified as having suspect or atypical persistent motor development during childhood. If there is concomitance of two types of risk factors, biological and environmental, the likelihood of premature birth increases 39 . Prenatal care can contribute to more favorable outcomes by allowing detection and timely treatment of diseases, in addition to controlling risk factors that bring complications to the health of the woman and the baby 34 .…”

| Early intervention based on parental activities promotes cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development, which are determinants for the child's health.However, studies about early intervention with parental education are scarce. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of parental intervention in the motor development of infants. This is a case series, longitudinal, and interventional study, with 100 infants at risk, aged 0-18 months. Motor development of infants was assessed by the Alberta Infant Motor Scale, and the parents received information about positioning and exercises depending on the child's motor score. Risk factors were not related to infants' motor development. However, these risk factors were related to gestational age, which was related to motor development. After parental early intervention, the sample frequency increased from 45% to 69% in the group of children with normal motor development. Frequency was reduced from 55% to 31% in the group with delayed development. Prenatal and/or perinatal risk factors can cause prematurity, and consequently, delays in children's motor development. For these infants, early intervention protocols with parental education are effective to stimulate a normal motor development of children at risk in followup in outpatient clinics. 16RESUMEN | Por intermedio de actividades parentales, la intervención precoz en el desarrollo favorece logros cognitivos, físicos, sociales y emocionales a los bebés, factores determinantes para la salud infantil. Pero son pocos los estudios sobre la intervención precoz con actividades parentales. Así en este estudio se propone analizar los resultados de la intervención parental precoz para el desarrollo motor de lactantes en ambulatorio de una maternidad. Estudio de tipo serie de casos, longitudinal e intervencionista, del cual participaron cien lactantes, entre 0 y 18 meses de edad, provenientes del ambulatorio de la maternidad. Se evaluó el desarrollo motor de los lactantes por intermedio de la escala Alberta. Dependiendo del retraso motor observado en los bebés, se hicieron recomendaciones a los padres. No se encontró relaciones entre los factores de riesgo y el desarrollo motor. Sin embargo, estos factores presentaron relación con la edad gestacional, que se relacionó, a su vez, con el desarrollo motor. Tras la intervención precoz parental, la frecuencia del muestreo aumentó del 45% al 69% en el grupo de bebés con desarrollo motor normal. El grupo con retraso en el desarrollo sufrió una disminución en la frecuencia de la muestra del 55% al 31%. Los factores de riesgo prenatal y/o perinatal pueden implicar precocidad y, por consiguiente, retraso en el desarrollo motor infantil. Para lactantes en ambulatorios, estos protocolos de intervención precoz con actividades parentales son eficaces para promocionar su desarrollo motor normal.Palabras clave |
