Abstract
Purpose
According to the annual developmental screening tests in South Korea, an increasing number of infants require further evaluation for the early assessment and treatment of developmental disabilities. We developed the Home Visit-Based Baby Tailored Support Program (H-BTS) and explored its potential effectiveness on infants' cognitive, language, and motor development, as well as their mothers' knowledge of infant development, parenting anxiety, and parenting efficacy.
Methods
We employed a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design with 49 infants and mothers in Seoul, Korea. The experimental group (n = 25) received 24H-BTS sessions at home, biweekly for three months, with a daily care diary for mothers. The control group (n = 24) underwent developmental assessments only. Both the groups underwent pre- and post-tests.
Results
We found significant differences in the motor and cognitive development indices between the experimental and control groups, but not in the language development index. The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in mothers' knowledge of infants' development and parenting efficacy scores.
Conclusion
Our results can serve as foundational data in community care, expanding infant care beyond disease nursing to include screening and preventive approaches, thereby supporting psychological development and enhancement of maternal confidence in caregiving.
Practice applications
This study provides an opportunity to nurses to deliver care for infant development outside the hospital and within the community. Therefore, nurses can educate primary caregivers on effective developmental play methods, thereby fostering stronger relationships and enhancing maternal confidence in caregiving.
