Watch Me Move (WMM) is a 6-week parent education program for caregivers of children with gross-motor delays. The aims are to improve parent-child interaction in a gross-motor context, increase parents' knowledge of behavioral cues and gross-motor development, and decrease perceived parental stress.
Forty mothers of children, 6 months to 3 years of age, with a gross-motor delay participated in a randomized control trial comparing parents who received the WMM program plus standard of care physiotherapy (n = 24) with parents whose children received standard of care physiotherapy (n = 16).
Mothers who received the WMM program had significantly higher change scores on two subscales of the Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale (NCATS; i.e., cognitive growth fostering, and responsiveness to caregiver) and on the Parent Knowledge Questionnaire assessing knowledge of behavioral cues and gross-motor development. There were no significant group differences on the other four NCATS subscales (i.e., sensitivity to cues, response to child's distress, social emotional growth fostering, and clarity of cues) or the Parenting Stress Index.
The addition of WMM to traditional physiotherapy improved aspects of mothers' ability to interact with their children and their knowledge of behavioral cues and gross-motor development.
“看我动起来”(WMM)是一项为期6周的针对大运动发育迟缓儿童照料者的家长教育项目。其目的是在大运动环境中改善亲子互动,增加家长对行为线索和大运动发育的了解,并减轻家长感知到的压力。
40名6个月至3岁大运动发育迟缓儿童的母亲参与了一项随机对照试验,该试验将接受WMM项目加标准护理物理治疗的家长(n = 24)与孩子接受标准护理物理治疗的家长(n = 16)进行比较。
接受WMM项目的母亲在《护理儿童评估教学量表》(NCATS)的两个子量表(即促进认知成长和对照料者的反应性)以及评估行为线索和大运动发育知识的家长知识问卷上的变化得分显著更高。在NCATS的其他四个子量表(即对线索的敏感性、对孩子痛苦的反应、促进社会情感成长和线索清晰度)或育儿压力指数上,两组之间没有显著差异。
在传统物理治疗中加入WMM改善了母亲与孩子互动的能力以及她们对行为线索和大运动发育的了解。
