Resumo:Introdução: A intervenção cognitivo-motora é benéfica para o desenvolvimento tanto motor como cognitivo do bebê. Essas intervenções, no hospital, têm sido amplamente estudadas dentro de unidades de terapia intensiva neonatal, porém poucos estudos investigam a intervenção avaliando o desenvolvimento infantil dentro de unidades de internação pediátrica. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da intervenção cognitivo-motora no desenvolvimento motor e cognitivo de bebês de 1 a 18 meses, hospitalizados por doenças respiratórias. Método: Pesquisa quase experimental, na qual participaram 22 bebês internados na unidade pediátrica por doença respiratória, divididos em dois grupos (10 no grupo controle e 12 no grupo intervenção), sem diferenças significativas nos dados biológicos
The motor intervention as delays prevention factor in motor and cognitive development of infants during the hospital stayAbstract: Introduction: Cognitive-motor tasks intervention is beneficial for the infant's motor and cognitive development. These interventions in the hospital setting, have been widely studied in neonatal intensive care units, however, few studies evaluate child development within pediatric units. Objective: To evaluate the impact of cognitive-motor intervention in motor and cognitive development of infants hospitalized with respiratory diseases.Method: The research was characterized as quasi-experimental, 22 babies hospitalized in the pediatric unit for respiratory disease were divided into 2 groups (10 in the control group and 12 in the intervention group) without significant differences in biological and socioeconomic data. The mean age was 5.50 months (SD ± 4.51), ranging between 1 and 16 months. Questionnaire was conducted with the infant's parent/guardian for sample characterization.The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-III) was used to evaluate motor e cognitive development. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, Student's t test, General Linear Model and One Way ANOVA. Results: The results show a significant interaction between group A intervenção motora como fator de prevenção de atrasos no desenvolvimento motor e cognitivo de bebês durante o período de internação hospitalar
