About

Motor development of the premature infant often exhibits deviations that trigger functional limitations and disability. In Colombia, one out of every five births corresponds to premature babies. In preterm infants requiring hospitalization, early clinical interventions focused on home care have been shown to improve motor development and decrease morbidity.

However, interdisciplinary work, supported by information and communication Technologies (ICT), shows a knowledge gap that can be explored. This leads to the following research question: What is the effect of the Interdisciplinary Hospital-Home Intervention on the adaptation of the motor development of premature children compared to traditional intervention in Colombia and Polonia?

Objective: To determine the effect of the interdisciplinary Hospital-Home intervention on the adaptation of the motor development of premature children compared to traditional intervention in Colombia and Polonia

Methodology Experimental quantitative study with pre-test and post-test to two groups, experimental and control, which compares before and after the intervention. The intervention will be developed in two scenarios: the hospital and the home. The experimental group will receive the intervention and the control group the traditional care established in the institutions for premature children. The calculation of the sample size is 130 participants.

Type of results expected to be obtained It is expected to obtain a supported that justifies the importance of education from hospital stay, post discharge follow-up and parental participation in the adequate stimulation of motor development of the premature. It is expected to incorporate the use of ICT in home monitoring, while implementing the use of a mobile application for this purpose. It is also expected to contribute to the research training of undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, participate in national and international presentations and in the production of scientific articles.
