Poor motor skills are associated with several factors that might delay children's development. Therefore, early programs to promote a child's motor development are essential. Within the first year of life, parents have a critical role in promoting their infant's motor development. However, little research has explored parent-directed programs that promote infant development in a Scandinavian context. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a parent-directed program to improve infant motor development.
Parents of infants received a parent-directed program that included guidance from health visitors on ways to promote motor development, videos with motor development activities and a bag with related materials. Two municipalities in Denmark took part in the study (one intervention, one control). Health visitors in both municipalities measured the infants' age-appropriate motor skills once when the infants were between 9-11 months of age. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the data.
No difference was detected in motor development over time in the two municipalities regarding the proportion of children with age-appropriate motor skills.
A parent-directed program in which parents were guided to play and encourage motor development with their infant showed no effect on infants' age-appropriate motor skills at 9-11 months.
探索一种家长主导的方案，以促进斯堪的纳维亚背景下婴儿的发育。
家长接受了一项家长主导的方案，其中包括卫生访问员关于促进运动发育的方法、带有运动发育活动的视频以及一个相关材料包的指导。丹麦的两个市参与了这项研究（一个干预组，一个对照组）。两个市的卫生访问员在婴儿 9-11 个月大时，测量了婴儿适合年龄的运动技能。使用逻辑回归模型分析数据。
在两个市中，在适合年龄的运动技能方面，没有发现随着时间的推移在运动发育方面存在差异。
一项家长主导的方案，其中家长被指导与婴儿玩耍并鼓励运动发育，对婴儿在 9-11 个月时的适合年龄的运动技能没有影响。
