Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate visual motor integration in children with late premature birth history at the elementary school ages. Materials and Methods: This matched case-control study was carried out at students attending to I and II. grades of elementary school through evaluation of visual-motor integration levels of 29 children in premature group who were born at late gestational ages (gestational age≥32 weeks) without major cognitive or physical/motor disabilities. The control group was composed of 29 healthy children with term birth history who were mached whith the premature group in terms of school, grade, gender and chronological age. The Ayres’ design copying test was used assess visual-motor integration level. This children’s parental education and current employment status were recorded. Results: Statistically significant difference was found in between the groups with regard to design copying outcome (P=0.017). Premature cases shown lower visual-motor integration performance than the peers born at term. In subgroup analysis, significant difference for the design copying was found only in the prematurely borned students attending to I. grade (P=0.026). In the premature group, there were important positive associations in between the design copying outcome with maternal education, maternal employment status and school grade (r= 0.427, P=0.022; r= 0.394, P=0.034; r= 0.407, P=0.028, respectively). Maternal education was detected to be a significant predictor of the visual-motor abilities following premature born (P=0.049). Conclusion: Visual-motor integration impairments may be observed at elementary school ages in children with late premature birth history. Low educational status-especially low maternal education-negatively may affect the visual-motor integration ability of the children who are born prematurely.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada geç prematüre doğum öyküsü olan çocuklardaki görsel-motor bütünleşmenin, ilkokul çağında araştırılması amaçladı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu eşleştirilmiş olgu-kontrol çalışması ilkokul I ve II. sınıfa devam eden öğrencilerde, önemli zihinsel ya da fiziksel/motor engeli olmayan, gebeliğin son döneminde (gebelik yaşı≥32 hafta) doğmuş olan prematüre gruptaki 29 çocuğun görsel-motor bütünleşme seviyelerinin değerlendirilmesi ile gerçekleştirildi. Kontrol grup; miadında doğum öyküsü olan okul, sınıf, cinsiyet ve kronolojik yaş açısından prematüre grupla eşleştirilen 29 sağlıklı çocukla oluşturuldu. Ayres’in desen kopyalama testi, görsel-motor bütünleşme seviyeyi değerlendirmek için kullanıldı. Bu çocukların anne-babalarının eğitim ve mevcut iş durumları kaydedildi.Bulgular: Desen kopyalama sonucuna ilişkin gruplar arasında, istatistiksel önemli farkın olduğu bulundu (P=0.017). Prematüre olguların ortaya koydukları görsel-motor bütünleşme performansı, miadında doğan akranlarından daha düşüktü. Alt grup analizinde desen kopyalama için önemli fark, sadece I. sınıfa devam eden prematüre doğmuş öğrencilerde bulundu (P=0.026). Prematüre grupta, anne eğitimi, anne iş durumu ve sınıf ile desen kopyalama sonucu arasında önemli pozitif ilişkiler vardı (r= 0.427, P=0.022; r= 0.394, P=0.034; r= 0.407, P=0.028, sırayla). Anne eğitiminin, prematüre doğumu takiben görsel-motor becerilerin önemli bir prediktörü olabileceği saptandı (p=0.049).Sonuç: Görsel-motor bütünleşme yetmezliği, geç prematüre doğum öyküsü olan çocuklarda ilkokul döneminde gözlenebilmektedir. Düşük eğitim durumu-özellikle düşük anne eğitimi-prematüre olarak doğan çocukların görsel-motor bütünleşme yeteneğini, olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir.
