Quality of life and neuropsychomotor development of infants between 4-18 months in daycare center

Abstract Quality of Life (QoL) is a predictor of development depending on multiple factors, being the QoL of infants still little studied, especially in permanent settings such as infants educational center or daycare centers. Correlate quality of life with age, family income and the neuropsychomotor development of infants between 4 and 18 months of age in daycare centers. Descriptive transverse study research, with clinical trials registration : RBR 2hd6sm on November 2, 2016. Quality of life was evaluated with interviews with the family through Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-PedsQL™ (Brazilian version). The infants were evaluated in a playful way, through the use of Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and Denver II test . 88 infants participated in the study. The infants evaluated had a good quality of life, with scores above 64%. AIMS presented the correlation with for physical functioning and total score of QoL. QoL of infants from 4 to 18 months of age is correlated with their neuropsychomotor development, which suggests the need for investigations between this theme and daycare centers.

生活质量（Quality of Life，QoL）是影响个体发展的预测因子，其效应受多种因素调控，但针对婴儿生活质量的研究仍较为匮乏，尤其是在婴儿教育中心或日托中心等固定照料场景中。本研究旨在关联日托中心内4至18个月龄婴儿的生活质量与年龄、家庭收入及神经精神运动发育状况。本研究为描述性横断面研究，临床试验注册编号为RBR 2hd6sm，注册日期为2016年11月2日。研究通过采用儿科生活质量量表（Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-PedsQL™，巴西版）对家属进行访谈，以此评估婴儿的生活质量；同时以游戏化方式，通过阿尔伯塔婴儿运动量表（Alberta Infant Motor Scale, AIMS）以及丹佛II发育筛查测验（Denver II test）对婴儿进行评估。本研究共纳入88名婴儿参与。被评估婴儿的生活质量良好，得分均高于64%。阿尔伯塔婴儿运动量表得分与婴儿生活质量的躯体功能维度及总分均呈相关性。4至18个月龄婴儿的生活质量与其神经精神运动发育状况存在相关性，这提示有必要针对该主题与日托中心的关联展开进一步研究。
