Background: In Latin América, newborns admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) are exposed to various risk factors such as prematurity, sepsis, and environmental stress, which can negatively affect their neurodevelopment. In this context, neurodevelopment - centered care aims to minimize these effects through health personnel interventions focused on comfort, therapeutic positioning, environmental control, and parental involvement, all of which promote adequate neurological maturation in newborns. Objective: To determine the knowledge and practices of health personnel regarding neurodevelopment care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Homero Castanier Crespo Hospital. Methodology: This quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study employed structured surveys administered to NICU health personnel to assess their knowledge and practices related to neurodevelopment care, as well as sociodemographic characteristics. Results: Most participants were aged 31 to 40 years, and 87,9% were female, with nursing staff representing 57,6 % of the sample. Regarding knowledge, 45,5% demonstrated an intermediate to basic leve, while only 9,1% reported advanced understanding. The implementation of key neurodevelopmental care strategies was limited, with low frequencies observed in actions such as promoting rest, observing signs of stress, and educating parents about neurodevelopment care. Conclusion: Health personnel in the NICU of the Homero Castanier Hospital exhibit predominantly basic to intermediate knowledge and inconsistent practices concerning neurodevelopmental outcomes in hospitalized newborns.

Background: The development of social and adaptative skills is essential for children’s overall growth, particularly for those living in institutional care, who are often exposed to vulnerability, disrupted attachment, and adverse emotional experiences that may affect their social and functional maturity. Objective: To evaluate the level of social and adaptative skills in children living at the Hogar Infantil Tadeo Torres through the application of the Vineland-3 Social Maturity Scale. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The Vineland-3 Scale was not applied directly to the children; instead, it was administered their caregivers, who responded to the items based on the behaviors observed in the children. The information was complemented with sociodemographic data collected though a structures form. Results: The findings showed that 72% of the boys and girls presented low (32%) or moderately low (40%) levels of social maturity, with difficulties mainly in areas of autonomy, communication, and socialization interaction. Furthermore, the analysis of sociodemographic variables contributed to understanding that adaptative development is influenced by relational and contextual factors inherent to the institutional environment. Conclusions: It is concluded that children living in institutional care at the Hogar Infantil Tadeo Torres exhibit a predominantly low adaptative profile, influenced by conditions of institutionalization and the quality of their affective experiences. These findings highlight the importance of addressing child development from an integral and contextualized perspective, aimed at strengthening emotional, social, and adaptative skills through sensitive caregiving practices and timely intervention strategies.

(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, 2026-03-05) Giler Vasquez, Merilyn Dayana; Macas Aguilar, Emily Cristina; Villalta Chungata, Blanca Cecilia
The objective of this research was to evaluate the neurological development of children treated at the Paccha Health Centre using the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE). It is a quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional cohort study, and the SPSS platform was used for tabulation. The HINE is an internationally validated and standardised neurological examination with 90% sensitivity. It consists of 26 quantifiable items that assess cranial nerves, posture, movements, muscle tone, reflexes and postural reactions. It generates scores that classify development as optimal, requiring follow-up or with a high probability of cerebral palsy (CP), in addition to recording asymmetries. It was administered to 50 infants aged 3 to 18 months (26 males and 24 females). The results revealed that 40% required ongoing neurological follow-up and 6% had a high probability of CP, with females predominating in this condition. Within the group with a high probability of CP, 4% were fullterm births and 2% were moderate to late preterm births. These findings highlight the usefulness of the HINE as an early detection tool in primary care settings, allowing for the timely identification of neurological disorders that could lead to long-term sequelae, underscoring the importance of preventive interventions and specialised follow-up, especially in vulnerable populations with risk factors such as prematurity.

Desempeño funcional de los niños y niñas de 3 a 8 años que asisten al área de estimulación temprana en salud en el Centro de Desarrollo Infantil de la Universidad de Cuenca “CEDIUC” mediante el test PEDI CAT, Cuenca, agosto 2025 - enero 2026

Background: Child development is the process through which boys and girls acquire motor, cognitive, social, and self-care skills. This process may be affected by prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors that increase the risk of disability or neurodevelopmental disorders. These conditions compromise participation in activities of daily living and therefore require a functional assessment. In this context, the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory – Computer Adaptative Test (PEDI-CAT) is a valid tool to assess functional performance and to guide intervention planning. Objective: To evaluate functional performance in children aged 3 – 8 years attending the Early Stimulation in Health area at the “Centro de Desarrollo Infantil de la Universidad de Cuenca (CEDIUC) using the PEDI-CAT. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected through interviews with the children´s parents and/or caregivers. Results: High Alert in the Daily Activities domain was more frequent among children aged 5-6 years, whereas in the Mobility and Social/Cognitive domains it predominated in those aged 3-4 years, who also showed higher frequencies of Low Alert in the Responsibility domain. Girls more often presented High Alert in Daily Activities and Mobility, whereas boys more often presented High Alert in Social/Cognitive and Low Alert in Responsibility. Disability was associated with High Alert in Daily Activities and Mobility, while neurodevelopmental disorders were associated with Low Alert in Responsibility. Conclusion: These findings reveal distinct levels of functional performance according to age, sex, and diagnosis.
