This research aimed to analyze the neuropsychomotor development (NPMD) of children aged aroud 3 years old who attend Child Education Units (CEU) in Belém using data from their performance (successes and failures) in the Denver II Developmental Screening Test (DDSTII). To this end, two descriptive-exploratory studies were conducted. The first was a systematic review of researches envolving the assessment of child development in Brazil, which aimed for the identification of the instruments used to assess the neuropsychomotor development (NPMD) of children and the variables considered favorable or unfavorable to the acquisitions expected in this process. The following indexed databases were used: Virtual Health Library-VHL (Scielo, Medline, Lilacs), SCOPUS, PubMed and Web of Science. There were included 48 studies (91,66%) and, in this ones, identified 13 assessment instruments. The DDST II was the most used instrument and the low socioeconomic status was the most frequent variable among the factors and conditions considered unfavorable for the development. The second study the children NPMD profile analysing their performance in the DDST-II, questioning possible differences related to gender. There were participating in this study 318 children enrolled in public Child Education Units (CEU) of the city of Belém (Brazil). To evaluate the performance of children in the DDST II in relation to gender, frequency analysis and t test were used. It was verified that girls performed better than boys in three of the four studied areas in the test: personal-social (p < 0.001), motor-fine (p = 0.017) and language (p = 0.014). In the gross motor area there were no significant differences between the sexes. When analyzing the performance of children in performing the test, it was observed that in the Personal-Social area the failed items were the same for boys and girls: 'Wash hands', 'Appoint 1 friend', 'Wear the shirt'. In the fine motor area, boys failed more in these items, 'Imitate the vertical line', 'Make the 8 cubes tower' and 'Indicate the longest line', as the girls failed more in the following items, 'Make the 8 cubes tower', 'Copy a circle' and 'Copy a cross'. In the area of language, boys failed more in this items, 'Know two adjectives', 'Appoint 1 color' and 'Use of 3 objects' and the girls in 'Appoint 1 color', 'Account 1 block' and 'Use of 3 objects'. In the gross motor area, children of both sexes failed more in the items: 'Play ball from top to bottom', 'broad jump' and Jump with only one foot'. Apart from these, the girls showed poorer performance also in the item 'Equilibrate in only 1 foot for 2 seconds'. It is emphasized the importance of monitoring the NPMD and the need to offer theoretical and empirical subsidies for intervention in order to minimize the damage that possible delays expected in the period can represent to all areas or any of them.

Desenvolvimento linguístico de crianças de Belém: associação com características pessoais e ambientais

This study aimed to analyze the profile neurodevelopmental status of children enrolled in preschools in Belém, with a focus in language, according to the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST), with this purpose, two studies, both quantitative and cross-sectional, with descriptive and exploratory were performed. The first one investigated the neurodevelopmental profile of children, according to their presence in the Administrative Districts of Belém. The score on DDST was assessed, and their neurodevelopmental status (normal or delay) and distribution on the districts were described. The second study examined the associations between the score of language, according to DDST, with the personal and contextual variables. For both studies, 319 children from elementary schools were selected, from August to December 2012. For assessment of development the DDST was applied. The instruments were a questionnaire administered to parents to collect personal, contextual and family data and an instrument to measure the level of family poverty. The results of the first study indicated that 77.7 % of potential developmental suspected delay and 59.2% of potential delay in language. The level of family poverty variable showed a statistically significant association with development score (p=0.011) and language (p=0.003). The results of the second study indicates that 59.2% delay were associated with language. The variables that showed a statistically significant relationship with language development were paternal education (p=0.003), maternal age (p=0.03) and family poverty level (p=0.003). The high prevalence of suspected delay in the development at the children highlights the need of implementation of programs to stimulated and monitor the infant development, using instruments such as the DDST. In addition, alert to the poses of risk factors that may interfere with the neurodevelopment in early years.
