To explore the influence of preterm birth on parental beliefs about gross motor development and parents' supportive role in infants' motor development.
Prospective cohort study: Parents of infants born very preterm (VPT) (gestation ≤32 weeks, birth weight <1500 g, without perinatal complications) and parents of healthy infants born full-term (FT) completed the Parental Beliefs on Motor Development questionnaire.
Questionnaires from 37 parents of infants born VPT, aged 3.5 to 7.5 months (corrected), and 110 parents of infants born FT, aged 3.5 months, were analyzed. Parents of infants born VPT believed stimulating motor development to be more important than parents of infants born FT (F = 5.22; P = .024; ηp2 = 0.035). Most parents of infants born VPT (82.4%) and FT (85.2%) acknowledged their role in supporting motor development. More parents of infants born VPT (41.2% vs 12.0%) believed they should follow their infant's natural developmental pace.
Knowledge of parental beliefs and parents' supporting role in motor development is relevant for tailoring pediatric physiotherapists' interventions with families.
探讨早产对父母关于粗大运动发育的信念以及父母在婴儿运动发育中支持作用的影响。
前瞻性队列研究：极早产儿（胎龄≤32 周，出生体重<1500 克，无围产期并发症）的父母和健康足月产婴儿的父母完成了“父母对运动发育的信念”问卷。
分析了 37 名胎龄 3.5 至 7.5 个月（校正后）的极早产儿和 110 名胎龄 3.5 个月的足月儿的父母的问卷。与足月儿的父母相比，极早产儿的父母认为刺激运动发育更为重要（F = 5.22；P =.024；ηp2 = 0.035）。极早产儿的父母（82.4%）和足月儿的父母（85.2%）大多认为自己在支持运动发育方面发挥着作用。更多的极早产儿的父母（41.2%对 12.0%）认为他们应该遵循婴儿的自然发育节奏。
了解父母对运动发育的信念和父母的支持作用，对于儿科物理治疗师为家庭量身定制干预措施是相关的。
