Item type:Publication, Impact of the Qali Warma school feeding program on chronic child malnutrition(Universidad del Pacífico Press, 2021-01-01)Este artículo aporta evidencia del impacto de Qali Warma sobre la anemia y la desnutrición crónica en niños de 3 a 5 años. Los resultados empíricos se obtienen por medio de una evaluación cuantitativa de dos pasos. Primero se usan técnicas de entropy balancing y machine learning para lograr un grupo control comparable que permita obtener estimaciones robustas. Luego se realizan regresiones para estimar el efecto del programa sobre las variables de interés. Se usan datos de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar de los años 2014 a 2017. Al parecer, Qali Warma no tendría efectos sobre la anemia ni sobre la desnutrición crónica, al menos en el rango de edad estudiado. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Psychometric Properties of the Peruvian Version of the Gross Motor Development Test - Third Edition(Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica, 2023-01-01)The Test of Gross Motor Development - Third Edition (TGMD-3) assesses the fundamental motor skills competence of children aged 3 to 10 years. The objectives of the study were to translate the TGMD-3 into Peruvian Spanish and to analyze its psychometric properties for Peruvian children aged 6 to 10 years. A cross-cultural translation of the TGMD-3 was carried out in order to have a Peruvian Spanish version. The study involved 19 professionals and 348 Peruvian children aged 6 to 10 years recruited from the three natural regions of Peru (coast, highlands and jungle). Item rating agreement among experts was appropriate (Content Validity Index > 94.4 %; Kappa Coefficient > .802). The confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the validity of the two-factor model (chi-square on degrees of freedom = 1.618; comparative fit index = .905; root mean square error of approximation = .042; standardized root mean residual = .056; goodness-of-fit index = .998), showing acceptable construct validity. Concurrent validity ratified the motor deficits or potentialities presented by the children (-.68, p < .001). Finally, the reliability indices obtained (internal consistency = .851, test-retest = .951, inter-rater = .963, intra-rater = .983) met the most demanding standards. The results confirmed that the TGMD-3 Peruvian version is appropriate for assessing the fundamental motor skills competence of Peruvian children. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Efectos de la pandemia y las medidas de confinamiento sobre la salud mental en población infantil de Chile(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2023-07-03)The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved complex challenges especially for families with children and adolescents. The impact of the pandemics' confinement on mental health has been described as devastating, limiting the resources available to families and increasing caregivers' stress levels and demands on their efforts. This study showed the results of an online survey of caregivers, mothers or fathers, with at least one child between 0 and 11 years old who lived the first weeks of confinement throughout Chile. The variables associated with physical symptoms, anxiety, mood, disruptive behavior, sleep problems, low frustration tolerance, attentional difficulties, hyperactivity and regressive behaviors that are related to the psychological impact that the measure of confinement has had on children from 0 to 11 years of age were studied through a questionnaire quantifying their frequency by age group, identifying how these effects are expressed in relation to the vital stages of child development. The results indicate that the younger the age of the children (0 to 3 years) the greater the presence of disruptive behaviors, while the older the age (9 to 11 years) the greater the presence of symptoms such as sadness, anxiety, listlessness and sleep problems. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of policies and strategies to address them, which should consider both the developmental stage of the children and the main caregivers, given the protective role they can play in stressful situations.
