Resumen: Preterm born children may be particularly vulnerable concerning everyday functioning due to difficulties in cognitive, motor and behavioural skills. Palta [11] and Sullivan and Msall [12] found that preterm children, especially those with neonatal morbidities, low birth weight and motor deficiencies, performed worse in everyday life situations at age four than children born at term. Poor everyday functioning may create a barrier for children to participate in everyday life situations typical for their age and context, yet the number of studies in this field is limited. The relationship between perinatal risk factors and later functioning is not clear. Further, most published research up to date emphasize risks and difficulties of preterm born children as isolated phenomena. As a consequence, groups of children born preterm or term are often compared regarding later functional and developmental problems. Differences found between the groups are interpreted accordingly, i.e. as mainly related to the preterm birth. However, the way children function in everyday life is only weakly related to the categories preterm or term born [13], [14]. Everyday functioning is due to a multitude of individual and contextual factors. Perinatal factors are relevant, but other factors may be as important and may compensate for the risk related to being born preterm. The aim of the current study was to explore everyday functioning and its relationship to perinatal factors, neonatal morbidity, child behavioural factors and parental socio-economic status for a population-based group of preterm-born and term-born children at six years of age. |
