Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)
Time Frame: Premature infant motor development was assessed one time by AIMS at their 6 month corrected age
AIMS assesses the gross infant motor skills in supine, prone, sitting and standing positions with 58 items.the child is scored dec 0 to 58 points and evaluated with age-appropriate percentile curves:0-10 atypical development, 11-25 questionable performance, 26-75 normal performance, 76-90 very good performance, 91-100 are classified as excellent performance.
Premature infant motor development was assessed one time by AIMS at their 6 month corrected age
The Social-Communication Area Screening Test of İnfant (SCASI)
Time Frame: Premature infant social-communication development was assessed one time by SCASI at their 6 month corrected age.
SCASI assesses the social-communication infant skills,filled by the parents.it is an original and fast test for the early identification and evaluation of children at developmental risk in infancy and early childhood up to the age of 6-24 months.
Premature infant social-communication development was assessed one time by SCASI at their 6 month corrected age.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Parenting Stress Index, Fourth Edition Short Form (PSI-4-SF)
Time Frame: Parents stress level was assessed one time by PSI-4-SF at their infant 6 month corrected age.
PSI-4-SF assesses the parents stress level.PSI-4-SF contains 36 items: 12 items for Parental Stress (PS) , 12 items for Parent-Child dysfonctional Interaction (P-CDI), and 12 items for Difficult Child (DC).The normal range for scores is within the 16th to 84th percentiles.Scores in the 85th to 89th percentile are considered high,and scores in the 90th percentile or higher are considered clinically significant.
Parents stress level was assessed one time by PSI-4-SF at their infant 6 month corrected age.
