“…The correlation between incomplete questionnaires and a lower educational level has also been shown by the study by Sturner et al (1982). In our previous investigation (Heiser et al 1995), we showed that at the age of 6 months no developmentally suspect infant was missed, when missing answers were scored as 'yes'. But at 1 year of age, copositivity would fall from 92% to 73% if missing data are scored as 'yes' instead of 'no'.…”

The aim of this prospective follow‐up study was to evaluate the accuracy of a parent‐completed questionnaire compared with professionally detected developmental delay. Parents of 108 very‐low‐birthweight (VLBW) infants and parents of 279 term control infants completed the German version of the Revised Prescreening Developmental Questionnaire (R‐PDQ) at the corrected age of 12 months. Simultaneously, infants underwent developmental examination using the Griffiths Developmental Scale. Sixty‐nine VLBW infants were classified as not delayed, 16 as delayed by both methods (conegativity 76% and copositivity 94%), as compared to 240 and six term control infants (conegativity 88%, copositivity 94%). The questionnaire suggested delay in 22 VLBW infants and 32 control infants, which was not substantiated by professional examination (P=0.006). In contrast, examination‐diagnosed delay was missed by the questionnaire in one infant in each group. The R‐PDQ is a reliable monitoring instrument for both VLBW and term infants at the age of 12 months. Parents of VLBW infants tend to underestimate their infants’development.

“…O reconhecimento pelos profissionais da importância da opinião dos pais sobre desenvolvimento dos seus filhos tem sido reforçado na literatura (Baird & Hall, 1985;Glascoe, 1997Glascoe, , 1999Glascoe, , 2000Glascoe & Dworkin, 1995;Heiser et al, 1995;Jellink et al, 1989;Stallard, 1993). No presente estudo, constatou-se que teoricamente os profissionais reconhecem este fato, porém na prática diária não buscam a opinião das mães.…”

In the present study, the practices and knowledge of 40 physicians and 40 nurses from municipal health care units (UMS) and 40 physicians and 40 nurses from the Family Health Program (FHP) in Belém, Pará State, Brazil, all of whom working in primary health care, were evaluated in relation to child development surveillance. Measures of knowledge of child development showed an average of 63.7% correct answers for UMS physicians, 57.3% for FHP physicians, 62.1% for FHP nurses, and 54.3% for UMS nurses. Only 21.8% of mothers attending appointments mentioned that the health care professional had asked about their children s development, 27.6% of mothers reported that the health care professional had asked about or observed the child s development, and 14.4% mothers reported having received instructions on how to stimulate their children s development. According to this study, primary health care physicians and nurses in the municipality of Belém showed gaps in their knowledge of child development. Child development surveillance is not being conducted satisfactorily in primary health care in the municipality of Belém. It is thus necessary to raise the awareness of health care professionals concerning the problem and provide them with appropriate training.

“…The number of``No'' responses ( ``delay'') for an age-adjusted 90% level is determined. Abnormal development was determined if there were two or more delays [5,6,10]. The physician who performed the neurodevelopmental examination was unaware of the parents' response on the R-PDQ when performing the Griths Developmental Scale.…”
