About this study

Official title: Investigating the Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS)

Environment which children live and grown is very important for the all development stages. In Turkey there is no measurement for home environment evaluation so our aim is to investigate the Psychometric Properties of the Turkish version of Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) in a sample of Turkısh children.

Read the detailed description

With the advances in technology and medical fields, the rate of cerebral palsy is increasing worldwide with the increase in the survival rate of preterm, low birth weight babies and neurodevelopmentally risky babies living in neonatal intensive care units.

The International Classification of Health, Function and Disability - Child and Youth version (ICF-CY), developed by the World Health Organization, provides a common language to record problems involving functions and structures of the body, restrictions of activity and participation that occur in childhood and adolescence, and related environmental factors; and It was developed to use terminology and consists of four main components: "Body Functions", "Body Structures", "Activity and Participation", "Environmental Factors". According to ICF-CY, environmental factors that have an effect on activity and participation are changeable factors. Therefore, it is stated that environmental conditions should be changed, redesigned and the child-supportive environment should be increased in order to increase the level of activity and participation in children.

Preschool children spend most of their time at home and playing games. Toys in the game environment, playmates, parental participation and attitude play a major role in the development of the child's motor and cognitive skills and social participation (6, 7). In recent years, the importance and positive effects of the enriched environment on the motor and cognitive development of babies have been emphasized in studies. Regular neuromotor evaluations and follow-up of risky babies are guiding in establishing an early intervention program. The "Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS)" scale, developed to evaluate the characteristics of the environment in which babies live, is a valid and reliable scale that is frequently used in the literature in many different areas such as hearing loss, motor developmental delay, sensory impairment, and typical development. is a scale (8-11). Translation has been done in many different languages so far. Turkish infants at risk on a scale to evaluate the home environment in Turkey within our existing information is not yet available. It is thought that the introduction of the AHEMD-IS scale into the Turkish language will give clinicians and academicians a different perspective in the evaluation of risky babies and children.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS)

    Psychometric properties will be investigated. AHEMD-IS have 41 items with 3 section as outside and inside environment, daily activities and toys. Questions are answered in three categories: dichotomous, 4-degree likert and explanation-based. Higher scores means good environmental enrichment.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Developmental Delay Disorder and Genetic Disease, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04556487, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Mar 2023.
