“…Despite scarce data available on interventions to improve child development in early years, (34) some studies have shown that interventions with parents may have a short-term effect of improving ASQ scores. (35) The improvement identi ed at the 6 months visit in the ASQ-3 evaluation scores had possibly led to a relatively lesser concern with the babies and thus less intervention which may explain the impairment identi ed at 12 months.…”

Background The effects of in-utero exposure to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection on the offspring's neurodevelopment are still unknown.Methods We performed a prospective cohort of babies exposed to SARS-Cov-2 during pregnancy, and a control group of unexposed babies in a low-income area in Northeastern Brazil. All data were prospectively collected from medical records. Children’s neurodevelopment was assessed using the guide for Monitoring Child Development in the IMCI context and the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3), at ages 4, 6, and 12 months. Maternal depressive symptoms were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).Results We followed 127 children for one year, 69 children in the COVID-19 exposed Group (EG), and 68 in the control group (CG). All mothers were unvaccinated at the time included in the cohort. Maternal demographics were similar in the two groups, but prematurity was more prevalent in mothers infected with COVID-19 (21.7% vs. 8.8%, p = .036) and EPDS scores were also significantly higher among the EG (M = 11.00, SD = 6.00 vs. M = 8.68, SD = 4.72, p = 0.04). Both groups had similar rates of cesarean delivery, Apgar scores, average birth weight, head circumference and length at birth. 20.3% of EG children and 5.9% of the CG received a diagnosis of neurodevelopmental delay within 12 months of life (p = 0.013, RR = 3.44; 95% CI, 1.19–9.95). 10% of EG children presented abnormalities at the cranial ultrasound.Conclusions COVID-19 exposure was associated with neurodevelopmental impairment. This study highlights the importance of specific guidelines in the follow-up of children exposed to in-utero SARS-CoV-2 in order to mitigate or prevent long-term effects on children’s health.

“…As ações de promoção, prevenção e assistência à saúde da criança implicam o compromisso de gestores públicos em assegurar, por meio de políticas públicas, a qualidade de vida para que a criança alcance seu potencial máximo de crescimento e desenvolvimento. Haja vista que os recentes estudos apontam que fazer esses investimentos contribui para a redução das desigualdades sociais, de enfrentamento à pobreza, favorecendo a construção de uma sociedade mais justa 11 .…”

Objetivo: analisar as habilidades e as práticas de profissionais de saúde da Estratégia Saúde da Família e demais áreas, educação e serviço social em municípios do nordeste brasileiro (Rio Grande do Norte, Maranhão e Piauí), precedente à formação acerca da utilização da Caderneta da Criança. Métodos: Estudo transversal que faz parte de um projeto de Formação de profissionais para o uso da Caderneta da Criança. A população do estudo foi constituída de 140 profissionais que atuam na atenção à criança, em saúde, educação e assistência social. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi formulário Google Forms, com questionário estruturado com 55 questões. A pesquisa tem Parecer Nº3554302. Resultados: observa-se que 15,71% avaliam como ruim a capacidade de conhecê-la de forma minuciosa, e apenas 45% e 3,57% como bom e excelente. Quarenta e seis por cento (46,43%) dos profissionais consideram que utilizam muito a caderneta em sua rotina, porém 24,29% dizem que não a utilizam. Apenas 0,71% sempre preenche a CC com dados relativos à aferição da pressão arterial das crianças e 6,45% sempre registram na CC as intercorrências relativas às doenças, os relatórios de internações, acidentes, as alergias e outros agravos da criança. Conclusões: o estudo aponta ser necessário que haja uma formação de profissionais das unidades de saúde, utilizando metodologias mais criativas, de forma alusiva acerca da necessidade de compreensão da CC como um documento de cidadania, com registros de todas as etapas de crescimento e desenvolvimento da criança, além do acompanhamento da vigilância das vacinas administradas.

“…However, unlike playfulness, the evidence of an association between motor development results and maternal intrusiveness is scarce. Fine motor development has been associated with positive parenting behavior [ 58 ]. Therefore, it would be interesting to analyze whether low-income adolescent mothers’ non-intrusiveness is an important mediator of playful interaction with their children and their developmental outcomes, since maternal intrusion has generally been associated with negative child behavior [ 31 , 59 ].…”

Non-Intrusive Maternal Style as a Mediator between Playfulness and Children’s Development for Low-Income Chilean Adolescent Mothers

2023

The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between low-income Chilean adolescent maternal playfulness and mothers’ non-intrusiveness in their children’s development and to analyze whether a mother’s non-intrusiveness mediates the relationship between maternal playfulness and children’s development. The Parental Playfulness Scale and the Subscale of Intrusiveness from the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project were used to assess maternal playfulness and mothers’ non-intrusiveness respectively. Ages and Stages Questionnaire 3rd Edition (ASQ-3) was applied to measure the children’s communication, gross and fine motor skills, problem-solving and personal–social development. The sample consisted of 79 mother–child dyads with children aged 10–24 months (M = 15.5, SD = 4.2) and their mothers aged 15–21 years old (M = 19.1, SD = 1.7). A bivariate analysis showed that maternal playfulness was significantly associated with communication, fine motor, problem-solving and personal–social development. Moreover, higher levels of communication, fine motor skills and problem-solving development were observed in the children of less intrusive mothers. Maternal playfulness had a significant effect on children’s development of language, problem-solving and personal–social skills when their mothers showed less intrusiveness during interaction. These findings contribute to the understanding of the interaction between adolescent mothers and their children. Active play and less intrusiveness can enhance child development.
