Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with suspicious developmental delay in infants and early childhood. Methods: Participants were 133 infants, aged from birth to 6 years old and their mothers, who were being seen at 16 Public health centers in B city. Korean Denver II was used to test infant development. ${\chi}^2$-test, Fisher's exact test and multiple logistic regression were used with SPSS 19.0 to analyze data. Results: Of participant infants, 7.5% were below the 3rd percentile for the weight percentile, 8.4% is a weight curve that crosses more than 2 percentile lines on the growth charts after previous achievement, and 9.8% had suspicious developmental delay according to Korean Denver II. Further the predictive factors related to suspicious development delay in the children were decrease of weight percentile (Odds Ratio [OR]=6.69, Confidence Interval [CI])=1.22-36.45), low economic state (OR=6.26, CI=1.50-26.00), and development delay perceived by their mothers (OR=4.99, CI=1.24-20.06). Conclusion: It is necessary to build a government level system to follow management of development of infants and children from the time of birth. Especially, it is necessary to develop a program for children in low income families.

목적 본 연구는 영유아의 발달지연의심에 영향 미치는 요인을 파악하여 영유아의 성장발달 지연 예방 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도하였다. 방법 연구대상은 B시 16개구 보건소를 방문한 0-6세까지의 영유아와 그의 어머니로 총 133명이었고, 영유아의 발달검사를 위해서는 한국형 덴버 II 도구를 사용하였으며, 자료분석은 SPSS 19.0을 이용하여 ${\chi}^2$-test와 Fisher's exact test, 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과 신체계측 결과 체중 3백분위 미만은 7.5%였고, 현재체중 백분위가 출생시 체중백분위보다 성장곡선 두 칸 이상 감소한 경우는 8.4%였다. 한국형 덴버 II 결과에 의한 발달지연의심 비율은 9.8%였다. 영유아의 발달지연의심 예측요인은 체중백분위 변화, 경제상태, 어머니가 지각한 아동의 발달상태였다. 즉, 출생시 체중백분위가 '감소'하는 경우가 '유지'되는 경우보다 발달지연의심이 나타날 확률이 6.69배 높았고, 경제상태가 '하'인 경우가 '중'인 경우보다 발달지연의심이 나타날 확률이 6.26배 높았으며, 어머니가 지각한 아기의 발달상태가 '의심'인 경우가 '정상'인 경우보다 발달지연의심 비율이 4.99배 높게 나타났다. 결론 영유아들의 건강한 성장발달을 위해서는 출생 시부터 주기적으로 아동의 성장발달상태를 관리하는 정부차원의 시스템 구축이 필요하고, 특히 저소득층 및 1세 이하의 영아들을 위한 보다 짧은 주기의 성장발달평가 프로그램이 필요하다.
