Precursori di Deficit dell'Attenzione e disturbi di iperattività (ADHD) in bambini moderatamente pretermine di età prescolare
Lo studio presentato ha voluto esplorare la possibile presenza in bambini di etŕ prescolare, nati moderatamente pretermine, di precursori del disturbo da deficit dell'attenzione e iperattivitŕ. La ricerca ha coinvolto un gruppo di 50 bambini (etŕ media = 5 anni e 2 mesi, ds = 4 mesi) nati moderatamente pretermine (etŕ gestazionale media = 34 settimane, ds = 2) senza complicanze mediche neonatali e con basso peso alla nascita (media = 2100 g., ds = 350 g.) e 50 bambini nati a ter - mine in assenza di complicanze pre e perinatali (etŕ gestazionale media = 40 settimane). Ai genitori e agli insegnanti delle scuole di riferimento dei bambini sono stati somministrati specifici questionari (Identi…
Prerequisiti e indicatori di difficoltà di apprendimento in bambini moderatamente pretermine di età prescolare
Lo studio riportato intende per un verso confermare e per altro esplorare la possibile presenza, in bambini di età prescolare nati moderatamente pretermine, di difficoltà relative a specifiche abilità cognitive che, secondo il modello di lettura assunto, sono funzionali all'apprendimento prescolastico; nello specifico, vengono individuati come risultati attesi di tale obiettivo, bassi livelli di prestazioni relative ad abilità generali che attengono all'"idoneità di apprendimento" e, quindi, alla capacità di comprensione ed espressione linguistica, di metacognizione e altre abilità legate alla memoria, all'orientamento e alla coordinazione motoria e visuomotoria, così come a capacità specif…
The temperament of preterm infant in preschool age
Abstract Background The study deals with the characteristics of temperament of preterm infants during their preschool age in order to not only investigate likely "difficult or problematic profiles", guided by impairments driven by their preterm birth, but also to provide guidelines for the activation of interventions of prevention, functional to improve the quality of preterm infant's life. Methods The study involved a group of 105 children where 50 preterm children at the average age of 5 years and 2 months, enrolled in preschools of Palermo. The research planned the child reference teachers to be administered a specific questionnaire, the QUIT, made up of 60 items investigating six specif…
Neurodevelopmental outcomes of moderately preterm birth: precursors of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder at preschool age
Moderately preterm birth seems to be an evolutional risk condition at cognitive, behavioural and socio-relational levels. The study is aimed to investigate the likely occurrence of precursors of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in moderately preterm children at preschool age. The research involved an experimental group made up of 50 moderately preterm children (mean: 34.6 weeks' gestational age, standard deviation [SD]: 2) without any medical and neurologic neonatal complications and low birth weight (mean:2100g., SD: 350g.) and a check group of 50 full term born children. Parents and teachers of children were administered specific questionnaires to detect ADHD. The outcomes …
Early precursors of low attention and hyperactivity in moderately and very preterm children at preschool age
The low attention and hyperactivity are major morbidities associated with very and moderately preterm birth. The study has been aimed at investigating the likely occurrence of early precursors of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in very and moderately preterm children at preschool age. The involved children were: 25 very preterm children (M=29.4 weeks of gestational age, SD=2), with low birth weight (M=1200 g, SD=250 g); 35 moderately preterm children (M=34.6 weeks of gestational age, SD=1) with low birth weight (M=2100 g, SD=250 g); 60 healthy full-term children as the control group. Parents of children have been administered specific questionnaires to detect low attenti…
School readiness of moderately preterm children at preschool age
The study investigates the preschool readiness of moderately preterm children and, in particular, the likely presence of learning disabilities at preschool age. Its theoretical model detects linguistic comprehension and expression; memory-related metacognition and cognition skills; orientation and motor coordination skills; premathematics and preliteracy ones. The research project involved an experimental group made up of 55 moderately preterm children (mean age = 62 months, mean gestational age = 34.6 weeks), without any clinical neonatal complications, and low birth weight (M = 2,100 g, SD = 350 g); a control group made up of 55 full-term children without pre- and perinatal complications.…
