Abstract

The objective of the study is to evaluate the pattern of child development in children under two years of age followed in nursing consultations before and during the covid-19 pandemic. The quantitative and cross-sectional research, based on secondary data from childcare nursing consultations carried out by the extension project “Childcare: promotion and protection of healthy childhood – Puppis”. The population consisted of 62 medical records of children aged 0 to 24 months, served by the project between 2018 and 2022. Of the total of 62 infants, 41.9% showed changes in child development, of which 76.9% were during the pandemic. Developmental changes were associated with the pandemic period and maternal paid work, pointing to the importance of the environment and maternal care for promoting full child development.
