DE LIMA BRIDI, Bruna Paola et al. Factors associated with childcare follow-up in infants under two years. av.enferm. [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.2, pp.225-234. Epub 18-Ago-2021. ISSN 0121-4500. https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v39n2.93783.
Objective:
To examine the factors associated with childcare follow-up in children under two years.
Materials and methods:
Analytical cross-sectional study developed between November 2019 and March 2020 in ten basic health units at Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. 71 family members of children under two years participated in this research. Data were collected using the child version of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATOOL Child) and instruments for clinical and socioeconomic profiling. Analytical statistics with frequency comparison between variables were used.
Results:
72% of the studied children had adequate follow-up during childcare consultations. Infants of mothers who underwent a series of adequate prenatal consultations had a significantly higher number of appropriate childcare consultations (p = 0.02). Families that do not live amidst social and health vulnerabilities offer better assistance to children (p > 0.05). Younger caregivers showed greater adherence to consultations.
Conclusions:
The adequate support of pregnant women to prenatal care, being under the care of younger caregivers, and not attending daycare centers or schools were the factors considerably more associated with adequate childcare follow-up in infants under two years.
