| Objective： To investigate the effect of goals-activity-motor enrichment (GAME) intervention on intelligence of children with global developmental delay (GDD) and on anxiety and depression of their care-givers. Methods： A total of 66 children aged 1 to 3 years who received rehabilitation treatment in Child Rehabilitation Department of Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from June 2020 to May 2021 were randomly divided into two groups. Children in the control group received routine rehabilitation intervention, and those in the GAME group received GAME intervention on the basis of the control group, for a duration of 16 weeks. Before and after intervention, Gesell Development Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating depression scale were used to evaluate the children’ intelligence and their care-givers’ anxiety and depression. Results： After intervention, compared with the control group, the GDS scores in GAME group were all significantly improved on the 5 DQ domains, and the differences were significant (all, P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of SAS assessment in both groups were lower than those before intervention (all, P<0.05), and the scores in GAME group were significantly lower than those in control group (all, P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of SDS in both groups were higher than those before intervention (all, P<0.05), and those in GAME group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all, P<0.05). Conclusion： The GAME intervention can improve the intelligence of children with GDS, and is beneficial to the improvement of care-givers’ anxiety and depression, so it is worth for application in clinical experience. |
