Abstract

Background

The aim of this study was to evaluate posture and physical activity of parents of children with Esophageal atresia (EA) and compare them with parents of healthy children.

Methods

The study included 20 children with EA aged 2–6 years and their parents as study group, and 20 healthy children aged 2–6 years and their parents as control group. The New York Posture Rating Test was used to assess posture, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form was used to assess physical activity of parents.

Results

Children in groups were similar in terms of age, gender and weight (p > 0.05). Parents in groups were similar in terms of age, height, weight, educational level and economic status (p > 0.05). Parents in the study group had higher postural impairment (p = 0.01). There was no significant difference between parents in term of physical activity score (p = 0.07). Although not significantly different, 70% (n = 14) of study group were found to be inactive compared to 35% (n = 7) of control group.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the posture of parents of children with EA was more affected than parents of healthy children, and both groups were similar in terms of physical activity, but parents of children with EA had more inactive lifestyle.

食道闭锁患儿父母的体位与身体活动水平的比较研究

背景本研究的目的是评估食管闭锁（EA）患儿家长的姿势和身体活动，并将其与健康儿童家长进行比较。方法选取20例2 ~ 6岁EA患儿及其家长为研究组，20例2 ~ 6岁健康患儿及其家长为对照组。采用纽约姿势评定测验对家长进行姿势评定，采用国际体育活动问卷（短表）对家长进行体育活动评定。结果各组患儿年龄、性别、体重相近（p > 0.05）。各组家长年龄、身高、体重、文化程度、经济状况等差异无统计学意义（p > 0.05）。研究组家长体位障碍发生率较高（p = 0.01）。父母之间在体力活动得分方面差异无统计学意义（p = 0.07）。研究组中有70% （n = 14）的人不活跃，而对照组中有35% （n = 7）的人不活跃。综上所述，EA患儿家长的体位受到的影响大于健康儿童家长，且两组儿童在体力活动方面相似，但EA患儿家长的生活方式更不活跃。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
