Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of maternal-child communication time on cognitive development in infants and toddlers. Methods One urban hospital as well as one rural hospital in Jiangsu provinces were randomly selected.A total of 140 infants and toddlers aged 2~30 months were recruited.Parents were asked to fill out the Shanghai Children's Medical Center Socio-Demographic Questionnaire (SCMC-SDQ).The Bayley Scales of Infant Development I (BSID-I) was conducted to each participated child. Results The mean age of infants was (12.52±7.94) months,boys accounted for 52.9% (74/140),urban infants accounted for 74.6% (103/140).The mean MDI and PDI score were 104.16±13.036 and 103.34±11.431 respectively.There was no statistic difference of MDI between urban and rural children (103.27±13.81 vs 106.20±9.95,F=3.36,P=0.250).The mean PDI score of urban and rural children were 101.92±12.01 and 106.51±8.09 respectively,urban's were lower than rural's (F=7.31,P=0.013).There was association between father's education level and children's MDI score.Location,parent's education level and family structure were not related to maternal-child communication time.More maternal-child communication time,the MDI score was more high (F=3.28,P=0.023),and even after control the factors of child age,sex and father's education in the model of multiple linear regression,it was also the main factor. Conclusion Maternal-child communication time are significantly related with cognitive development in infants and toddlers.
