Abstract

BULOW, Daniella Magalhães et al. Development evaluation of pediatric inpatients in a university hospital. Contextos Clínic [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.2, pp. 74-79. ISSN 1983-3482.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4013/ctc.2012.52.01.

The objective of the study was to verify how, in the population of a university Hospital in São Paulo, the children are in the development range expected for their ages. For this, 50 parents or caregivers of children between 1 and 60 months old were interviewed, answering to questionnaires elaborated based on Marie Leiner's boards about the child development. This questionnaire contained sentences about motor, social and intellectual abilities that are expected in several ages, with "yes" and "no" options and "observations". The data collected was analyzed with the SPSS soft ware's aid. The basic motor and intellectual abilities had the higher "yes" rates, while the fine motor and language abilities had a lower frequency. In general, all areas had a high rate of development according to expectation. The age had no significant correlation with any other variable.

Keywords : child development; evaluation; hospitalization.
