Özet:

 Purpose: It is known that infants prematurely have sensory processing problems. The aim of this study was to compare the sensory functions of early, late premature and mature infants. Material and Methods: The study included 16 early premature 24-34 weeks, 16 late premature 34-38 weeks and 16 mature infants control group; 38-42 weeks who were followed by the Developmental and Early Physiotherapy Units and did not receive any diagnosis. Socio-demographic information form was applied to parents and Test of Sensory Function Infant TSFI was applied to infants to evaluate their sensory functions. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the early premature and late premature groups in response to tactile deep pressure p0.008, ocular motor control p0.004 and total score p0.008. In addition, a statistically significant difference was found between the premature and mature groups in response to tactile deep pressure p0.001, ocular motor control p0.001, response to vestibular stimulus p0.001 and total score p0.001. Conclusion: It was observed that there was a significant increase in sensory function problems of premature babies in the week of birth. Therefore, it is important for therapists working in the field of pediatrics to learn about the birth weeks of children and to organize their intervention programs according to this risk when evaluating before the therapies they apply.

 Amaç: Prematüre doğan bebeklerin duyusal işlemleme problemlerine sahip oldukları bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; erken, geç prematüre ve term bebeklerin duyusal fonksiyonlarını karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Gelişimsel ve Erken Fizyoterapi Üniteleri tarafından takip edilen ve herhangi bir tanı almayan 16 erken prematüre 24-34 hafta, 16 geç prematüre 34-38 hafta ve 16 term bebek kontrol grubu; 38-42 hafta dahil edildi. Ebeveynlere bebekler hakkında sorular içeren sosyo-demografik bilgi formu ve bebeklere duyusal fonksiyonlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla Bebeklerde Duyusal Fonksiyon Testi BDFT uygulandı. Grup karşılaştırmaları tek yönlü ANAVO testi ile analiz edildi. Sonuçlar: Erken prematüre ile geç prematüre grupları arasında dokunsal derin basınca tepki p0,008, oküler motor kontrol p0,004 ve toplam puan p0,008 alt parametrelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu. Ayrıca erken prematüre ile term grupları arasında dokunsal derin basınca tepki p0,001, oküler motor kontrol p0,001, vestibüler uyarana tepki p0,001 ve toplam puan p0,001 alt parametrelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu. Tartışma: Prematüre bebeklerde duyusal fonksiyon bozukluklarının doğum haftası arttığı gözlenmiştir. Bu nedenle pediatri alanında çalışan terapistlerin uyguladıkları terapiler öncesinde değerlendirme yaparken çocukların doğum haftalarını öğrenmeleri ve bu riske göre müdahale programlarını düzenlemeleri önemlidir.
