Abstract
IMPORTANCE Growth and development constitute fundamental aspects in pediatric nursing that require continuous monitoring by parents and healthcare professionals to facilitate early identification of developmental abnormalities. Fine motor skills represent a critical domain of child development, as they are essential for supporting independence in performing daily activities. However, evidence indicates that problems associated with fine motor development in children persist.
AIMS To analyze the relationship between maternal stimulation and fine motor development in children aged 1–2 years.
METHOSDS This study employed an analytic correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Maternal stimulation was the independent variable, while children’s fine motor development was the dependent variable. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit participants from a population of 68 mother–child pairs aged 1–2 years in Tambaan Village, Camplong District, Sampang Regency, Indonesia. A total of 58 mother–child pairs were included in the study. Data were collected using a maternal stimulation questionnaire, while children’s fine motor development was assessed using the Denver II instrument. The association between maternal stimulation and children’s fine motor development was analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test.
FINDINGS Most respondents reported moderate maternal stimulation (30 respondents, 51.7%), while 43 children (74.1%) demonstrated normal fine motor development. Among children receiving moderate maternal stimulation, 29 (96.7%) had normal fine motor development. Maternal stimulation was significantly associated with fine motor development (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION Maternal stimulation was significantly associated with fine motor development in children aged 1–2 years. Children receiving moderate maternal stimulation were more likely to have normal fine motor development.
ETHICS APPROVAL AND FUNDING: Health Research Ethic Committee of the Ngudia Husada Madura College of Health Science (approval number: 2117/KEPK/STIKES-NHM.EC/V/2024). Authors receive no specific funding support for this study.
RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This study highlights the importance of maternal stimulation in supporting children’s fine motor development. Pediatric nurses should provide parents with education on age-appropriate stimulation and conduct early developmental screening to identify potential delays and promote optimal child development.
