Keywords: recurrent respiratory infection children, recurrent respiratory pathology, neuropsychic development, dispensary observation
Abstarct: Objective – to study the neuropsychic development (NPD) of 4-7-year-old children with recurrent respiratory disease (RRD). Material and Methods. The study involved 160 recurrent respiratory infection children (RRI children), whose neuropsychic development (NPD) was analysed in depth. The obtained data were compared with the NPD indicators of their healthy peers selected by the copy-pair method. Results and Discussion. A reliable decrease in almost all indicators was found in assessing the indicators of the NPD of RRI children. The lag in general mental development among RRI children, compared to their healthy peers, was significantly more frequent, almost two-fold. Every third child experienced an unfavourable type of family upbringing; home conflicts with parents, peers and teachers of educational organisations were revealed three times more frequently. Conclusion. The obtained data dictated the necessity of accompanying the RRI child with a paediatrician, the early analysing of NPD indicators and their immediate correcting.
