| dc.description.abstract | An experimeatal study on impact of intervention on motor and mental development of rursd infants (9-15 months) was conducted during the year 1998 in Yattinagudda village of Dharwad district. The duration of intervention was for six months. A sample of 30 infants along with their mothers with 15 each in control and experimental group were selected from one village. The two groups (control and experiment) were matched for SES, mother's knowledge regarding child care and nutrition, mother's temperament, age and gender of infants and motor and mental development. The motor and mental development of infants was measured by administering Bayley scale of infants development. Maternal knowledge was assessed by interviewing mothers with maternal knowledge schedule and maternal temperament was measured using Dimension of temperament scale developed by Chada and Bhatnagar (1984). Home environment was assessed by observation and interview technique by employing Caldwell Home Inventory (1984) developed by Caldwell and Bradly. Socio-economic status was assessed using SES schedule. Intervention was provided to the experimental group once per month for a duration of six months. The intervention consisted of imparting knowledge to the mothers regarding child care and nutrition and home environment and providing stimulation to infants through play materials and toys. A package was developed for this purpose. The infants were post tested for motor and mental development. The mothers were assessed for knowledge regarding child care and nutrition and the home environment. Student's V test was applied to know whether the two groups were matched on socio-economic variables, infant's and maternal characteristics and home environment. Two way analysis of variance was applied to measure the impact of intervention. The results indicated that the intervention had a significant impact on motor and mental development of infants and also on maternal knowledge. | en_US |
