Abstract

Developmental milestones in children or infants are a certain set of skills or age-specific tasks. Missed or delayed milestones in infancy can be symptoms of serious medical conditions. If parents understand their children’s development, they can tailor their expectations and provide stimulation. This study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge regarding the development milestones of infants among mothers. A descriptive study was conducted on 100 mothers of neonates visiting pediatric OPD and gynecological unit (Postnatal Ward).A convenience sampling technique was used to collect data. More than half of mother’s i.e. 60% had an average level of knowledge, 22% of mothers had a poor level of knowledge and 18% of mothers had a good level of knowledge. Mothers had the highest (75.25%) mean knowledge percentage in general information followed by 53.33%, in developmental delay and least (37.50%) mean knowledge percentage in language development. The overall mean knowledge score is 10.240±2.40 and there is no association (p>0.05) between the knowledge level of mothers with selected demographic variables. It is concluded that the majority of the mothers of neonates had average knowledge regarding developmental milestones.
母亲关于婴儿发育里程碑的知识:一项描述性横断面研究
儿童或婴儿的发展里程碑是一套特定的技能或年龄特定的任务。婴儿期错过或延迟的里程碑可能是严重疾病的症状。如果父母了解孩子的发展,他们可以调整他们的期望并提供刺激。本研究旨在评估母亲对婴儿发育里程碑的了解程度。对100名到儿科门诊和妇科(产后病房)就诊的新生儿母亲进行了描述性研究。采用方便的抽样技术收集数据。超过一半的母亲,即60%的母亲知识水平平均,22%的母亲知识水平较差,18%的母亲知识水平良好。母亲在一般信息方面的平均知识百分比最高(75.25%),其次是发育迟缓方面的平均知识百分比为53.33%,语言发展方面的平均知识百分比最低(37.50%)。总体平均知识得分为10.240±2.40分,母亲的知识水平与所选人口学变量之间无相关性(p>0.05)。结论是,大多数新生儿的母亲对发育里程碑有一般的了解。
