Objective: To observe the effects of nurse-involving early intervention in children with mental retardation. Methods: 108 children with mental retardation were divided into observation group (n=53) and control group (n=55) randomly, and all received conventional therapy. In addition, the children in observation group were subjected to nurse-involving early interventions, including general motor, small motor,language and cognition. All patients were evaluated by “Gesell development schedules”. Results: After treatment for 6 months, as compared with those before treatment, the scores in two groups were increased obviously. The scores in observation group were significantly higher than in control group (P<0.05,0.01). Conclusion: Early intervention involved by nurses could more significantly promote children’s intellectual development. |
