Caracterização do desenvolvimento motor de crianças em vulnerabilidade social de uma creche filantrópica

Abstract

The aim of this study was to characterize the motor development of children in social vulnerability of a philanthropic day care center. This is a quantitative cross-sectional survey carried out in Creche Aprisco. The population was composed by 43 2 and 3 years old children. The instruments used in the data collection were the Motor Development Scale (MDS) adapted and the International Social Classification of Graffar (ICSG). MDS was adapted so that one point was assigned for the child who performed the activity correctly and zero for the child who did not. IBM SPSS 20.0 software was used to compute the data and perform the Chi-Square test, aiming to investigate the association between motor development and the level of social vulnerability of participants. The percentage of correct executions and activities was: gross motor function - 95.3%, fine motor function - 90.7%, balance - 90, 7%, body diagram: hands - 74.4%, body diagram: arms - 69.8% and spatial organization - 79.1%. For laterality of hands, eyes and feet, there was an expressive predominance on the right side for the three variables. In the results of the ICSG, 11.6% of families were in Class 2, 37.2% in Class 3 and 51.2% in Class 4. No family reached classes 1 or 5. The association between social vulnerability and Motor development was not considered statistically significant. The expressive majority of the participants were able to carry out the activities and there were no children in situations of extreme social vulnerability or in non-vulnerability.
