Continuous transdisciplinary education in order to detect neurodevelopment disorders among five years old
(Universidad de Granada, 2019) Ivonne Ramírez; Sagrario Pérez‐de la Cruz; Carolina Maldonado
Continuous education is important in order to improve health practices and infant education. The goal of this\npaper was to evaluate the impact of a trans disciplinary continuous formation model in order to detect\nneurodevelopment and psychosocial disorders in five and under year old living in Sucre and Chuquisaca\nprovinces. 458 health professionals, technicians, and medical interns were interviewed for this purpose. A\nsurvey was made after twenty-five sections of formation during 2016-2017. The questions of the survey were\nrelated to topics referred to such a formation section. The findings show the importance of the new topics,\nthe necessity of more formation regarding the diagnosis scales and the knowledge on family and community\ntherapies, this aspect was detected mostly in rural areas, which have less possibilities of accessing to\ncontinuous formation. To finish, it is important to point out that the trans disciplinary cyclical formation model\nallowed refreshing knowledge, sharing experiences, to dialogue different kinds of knowledge, and to\nintegrate collaborative work among peers, so the health service among 5 years old would be optimized.
Propuesta de una ficha de evaluación psicomotora de 0 a 5 años para el seguimiento al neurodesarrollo infantil
(2020) Ivonne Ramírez; Jaime Delgado; Carolina Maldonado; Lucía Pérez
Children in development matters and requires professional supervision with contextualized tools to make the assessment of psychomotor progress infant from its earliest days, which is often underestimated in controlling the growth and development of children in some of our health centers means. The present study concerns the problem of psychomotor evaluation in children from birth to five years of life, although the health system considers controlling the development of the infant, evaluations of psychomotor development are made with several instruments not validated in context where they are employed, but for studies in neighboring countries or synthesis of various instruments without previous scientific studies. The study shows that monitoring of the psychomotor development in our environment is not a priority for the control of child growth, though no doubt the control of immunizations, weight and height, can not be neglected; nor should detract from the timely detection of changes in motor development, sensory and psychomotor tracking capabilities of the infant during the first six years of life. This study culminated in the presentation of an instrument for measuring psychomotor development based on a validation in 1000 children under standard tools systematised criteria employed by the different health centers, public, private and central parts of the Program for Support of Children; supplemented according to current trends on proposing an alternative validated in the population identified, submitted in physical form and electronics.
Study of Psychomotor Development and Environmental Quality at Shelter Homes for Children Aged 0 to 2 in the Department of Chuquisaca (Bolivia)
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020) Sagrario Pérez‐de la Cruz; Ivonne Ramírez; Carolina Maldonado
Children in situations of destitution who become institutionalized commonly display developmental disorders, including delayed growth. The aim was to evaluate the environmental quality of the casas cuna of the Department of Chuquisaca (Plurinational state of Bolivia) in children aged 0 to 2 years old after receiving an early stimulation program based on psychomotor therapy. Thirty-six children who were institutionalized at shelter homes in the Department of Chuquisaca were selected to receive sessions of psychomotricity over a five-month period. The Infant/Toddler Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (IT-HOME) scale and the Attachment During Stress Scale (ADS) were used. The adult-child relationship with factors of responsiveness (-0.89; p = 0.037), acceptance (0.57; p = 0.024), organization (-1.03; p < 0.001), learning material (-2.57; p < 0.001) and involvement (-1.92; p < 0.001) scored below expectations, showing that environmental indicators are a poor stimulation for children growing up in shelter homes. Improvements were found in the children's development after receiving this therapy. In conclusion, an early stimulation program based on psychomotor therapy over five months provided favorable results for the acquisition of skills for communication, motor development and social skills, which positively affect the psychomotor development.
