QUALITY OF LIFE INDICATORS OF FIRST YEAR CHILDREN
Abstract
Aim. To study the influence of the level of physical and neuropsychic development of children on the quality of life.
Material and research methods. The study included 141 children of the first year whose QOL was assessed using the QUALIN questionnaire. 66.2% of them were boys and 33.8% were girls. More than half of children (65.8%) had average (normal) physical development, 21.7% - above average, 10% - below average and 2.5% - low. Neuropsychic development corresponded to age in 78.9% of children, delayed CPD was diagnosed in 21.1% of cases.
Results and its discussion. As a result of the study, it was found that the lag in physical development and delayed neuropsychic development are factors that significantly reduce the QOL of children in the first year of life. The results of the survey showed that children with a low level of physical development and delayed CPD have significantly lower QOL indicators in all aspects. Parents, on the other hand, evaluate the QOL of these children higher than pediatricians. They believe that their children do not differ from healthy peers. That indicates that parents are not sufficiently informed about the main aspects of the health and development of children of this age and underestimate their health status.
Conclusions. The results obtained in the study show that a significant reserve for improving the QOL of children in the first year of life is the active work of the outpatient element of the healthcare system providing families with the necessary knowledge about the main aspects of the life of infants and the consistency of interaction between parents and pediatricians to ensure the health of the child.
