Abstract

Amaç: Yürüteçler önerilmemesine rağmen, günümüzde pek çok ebeveyn tarafından çeşitli nedenlerle yürüme öncesi dönemde kullanılmaktadır. Bu nedenle, anne babalara kanıta dayalı öneriler sunmak için yürüteçlerin çocuk sağlığı ve gelişimi üzerindeki etkileri hakkında çalışmalara gereksinim vardır. Bu araştırmada, çocuklarda yürüteç kullanım sıklığının ve yürüteç kullananlarda kaza geçirme sıklığının belirlenmesi, yürüteç kullanımının kaba motor gelişim ve yürüyüş bozuklukları üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi ve Marmara Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Sosyal Pediatri polikliniklerinden izlenen, miadında doğan, herhangi bir kronik hastalığı olmayan, 8-84 ay arasındaki 193 bebek ve çocuğun ailesi dahil edildi. Yüz yüze uygulanan anketler ile ailelerin sosyodemografik özellikleri, oyun ve oyuncak konusundaki tutumları, bebeğin kaba motor gelişimi, yürüteç kullanma durumu, geçirdiği kazalar ve hastalıklar, yürüyüş biçimi konularında bilgi toplandı. Bir aydan uzun süre ile, günde en az 30 dk. yürüteç kullananlar yürüteç kullanan grubunda değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çocukların %57.5’inin yürüteç kullandığı saptandı. Ailelerin yürüteç kullanmama nedenleri incelendiğinde en sık “doktor önerisi” nedeniyle kullanmadıkları, kullanma nedenleri incelendiğinde ise en sık “bebeğin oyalanması için” kullandıkları saptandı. Yürüteç kullananların kullanmayanlara göre daha fazla kaza geçirdiği belirlendi. Aradaki fark istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı idi. İki grup arasında motor gelişimsel basamakları kazanma zamanı benzerdi. Yürüteç kullananlarda yürüyüş bozukluklarının görülme oranı daha yüksek bulundu.Sonuç: Yürüteçlerin ebeveynler tarafından yaygın olarak tercih edildiği görülmüştür. Araştırmamızda yürüteç kullanımının bebeklerde kaba motor gelişim sürecini etkilemediği fakat yürüyüş bozuklukları ile ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çocuk gelişimi ve sağlığı açısından, yürüteç kullanımının parmak ucunda yürüme üzerine etkisini inceleyen detaylı araştırmalar yapılması gerekmektedir

Abstract

Objective: Although not recommended, nowadays baby walkers BWs are commonly used by many parents in the pre-walk period of children. Therefore studies are needed about the use and effects of BWs on child health and development to provide evidence based recommendations to parents. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of BW-use, and related injuries among baby walker users, to investigate the effect of BW use on gross motor development of children and the relationship between BW use and gait disorders. Material and Method: 193 children aged 8-84 months, born fullterm without any chronic disease who were followed up in Outpatient Clinics of Social Pediatrics of Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, and Marmara University Training and Research Hospitals, and their families were included in the study. Information was gathered during face to face interviews about sociodemographic characteristics of the families, their attidues about plays, and toys, gross motor development of the baby, its use of baby walkers, accidents, and diseases the baby experienced, and its manner of walking. Children using BWs for at least 30 minutes per day for more than a month were considered as BW users.Results: Of all children 57,5% were BW users. The most frequent reason asserted by families for not using BW was “physician’s recommendation”, and they used BWs “to keep the baby occupied”. The frequency of injuries was higher among BW users than non-users. This difference was statistically significant. Both groups attained their motor development stages at similar ages. Gait disorders were seen at a higher rate among BW users than nonusers. Ages for the were similar in both groups. Conclusion: As was seen baby walkers are prevalently preferred by parents. In our investigation we determined that BW use does not affect the gross motor development process but the frequency of gait disturbances were found to be higher among BW users than non-users. Further prospective studies are needed to investigate the effect of BW use on toe walking
