ABSTRACT

The aim was to evaluate the effects of a family-focused early intervention programme on the cognitive, motor, and language development of infants exposed to social and biological risks in the first year of life. Quasi-experimental randomized controlled trial (RBR-6ct969), with intervention (IG; n = 72) and control (CG; n = 170) groups. IG mothers participated in two individual Newborn Behavioral Observation sessions and six in-group sessions. Children's development was assessed at 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of age, using the Bayley-III scale. The results showed that IG children had higher receptive language scores (p = 0.02) and lower gross motor scores (p = 0.03) than CG. The chance of receptive language delay (OR = 0.61, CI 0.38–0.96, Cohen's d = 0.28) was reduced in IG, but no impact was observed on the other domains. The present intervention reduced the risk of receptive language delay, despite its low intensity and short duration.

摘要

目的是评估以家庭为中心的早期干预计划对出生后第一年暴露于社会和生物风险的婴儿的认知、运动和语言发育的影响。准实验性随机对照试验 (RBR-6ct969)，干预组 (IG；n  = 72) 和对照组 (CG；n  = 170)。IG 母亲参加了两次单独的新生儿行为观察会议和六次小组内会议。使用 Bayley-III 量表在 4、6、9 和 12 个月大时评估儿童的发育。结果表明，IG 儿童的接受性语言得分较高（p  = 0.02），而粗大运动得分较低（p = 0.03) 比 CG。接受性语言延迟的机会（OR = 0.61，CI 0.38-0.96，Cohen's d  = 0.28）在 IG 中降低，但在其他领域没有观察到影响。目前的干预降低了接受性语言延迟的风险，尽管其强度低且持续时间短。
