Abstract
Creating Video-Based Education to Enhance Infant Motor Development: Preliminary Findings
Authors: Danae Dinkel, Nicole Kleffman, Kailey Snyder, Shelby Kimble
Parents play a vital role in promoting physical activity to their infants and they are the first influence on a child’s health and development. Even though significant attention has been given to promoting physical activity at an early age, not everyone understands how to effectively encourage this activity throughout different phases of a child’s lifespan. Aside from general suggestions for free movement skills, there is limited guidance available on how to promote physical activity to improve specific child motor development milestones. While there has been an increasing interest in promoting physical activity to enhance motor development from an early age, there is unfortunately little information available to parents or guardians on how to support movement behaviors specifically for infants, despite parents requesting this information.
The purpose of this study was to assess the acceptability of video-based education on infant movement with parents of infants. The long-term goal is that these videos will be used within pediatric primary care offices for parents as an additional resource to promote infant movement.
A total of 12 parents were enrolled in the study. After individuals were recruited, a 30-minute semi-structured interview was scheduled and conducted via Zoom. Throughout the interview, participants watched sample videos for specific activities to encourage movement for their infant. The questions focused on the feasibility of the videos as well as additional questions about the ideal methods for dissemination of these videos. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and uploaded into NVivo. Data is currently being analyzed using a content analysis approach. An additional comparative analysis will be conducted to compare findings across parent demographics (e.g., education, income level, number of children).
This presentation will discuss the preliminary findings of the study as well as future directions.
