Observation On The Effect Of Growth-assisted Tuina On The Height And Weight Of Preschool Children With Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infections

Objective:The study focuses on preschool children with Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infection(RRTI)of lung and spleen deficiency type,observe the growth of height and weight of preschool children in the assisted growth massage group after treatment,and compare it with the control group,evaluate the effect of this massage method on the growth rate of height and weight of preschool children,and provide new basis and new method for enriching the development of Chinese child care technology.Methods:This study selected 32 cases with lung and spleen deficiency type during non acute stage of RRTI whose received assisted growth tuina in our center as the observation group,and then select 32 cases with lung and spleen deficiency type during non acute stage of RRTI whose sex,age,height and weight are similar to those in the observation group as the control group through matching.The observation group uses growth-assisted tuina.The control group received strengthening the spleen and protecting the lungs tuina.Both groups of children received dietary guidance.Both groups of tuina were given three times a week and once every other day for a total of three months of intervention.Collect the height,weight,dietary score,Children’s Sleep Habit Questionnaire(CSHQ)score,and the number of respiratory infections during the study for both groups of children before and after the intervention,and then analyze the data by with chi-square test,T-test,rank sum test,etc.Evaluate the effect of assisted growth tuina on the height and weight growth rate,diet,sleep,the frequency of respiratory tract infections.Results:This study included a total of 64 children who received medical treatment,had 2 cases of loss due to failure to complete the research protocol on time,and excluded 2 cases of dropout matching.Finally,a total of 60 cases of the study were completed.1.Comparison of intra-group symptoms:(1)After intervention,the appetite score(1.80±1.10),capacity for eating score(1.73 ± 1.01)and total diet score(3.53 ± 1.63)in the observation group were both lower than before intervention,appetite score(3.80±1.42),capacity for eating score(3.53±1.36)and total diet score(7.33±2.59),P<0.01,with statistically significant difference.After intervention,the appetite score(2.53±1.28),capacity for eating score(2.47 ± 1.36)and total diet score(5.00±2.27)in the control group were both lower than before intervention appetite score(4.13 ± 1.57),capacity for eating score(4.20 ± 1.69)and total diet score(8.33±3.16),P<0.05,with significant difference.(2)The score of CSHQ after intervention in the observation group(39.80±4.11)was lower than the score before intervention(44.20±6.27),and the score of CSHQ after intervention in the control group(43.80±6.20)was lower than the score before intervention(45.10±6.50),P<0.05,the difference was statistically significant.2.Comparison of symptoms between groups:(1)After intervention,the height growth rate(9.57±5.14)and weight growth rate(2.45 ± 0.76)of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(5.85±1.58)and weight growth rate(1.95±0.78),P<0.05,the difference was statistically significant.(2)After intervention,the symptom scores of appetite(1.80±1.10),capacity for eating score(1.73±1.02)and total score of diet(3.53±1.63)in the observation group were lower than those of the control group appetite score(2.53±1.28),capacity for eating score(2.47±1.36)and total score of diet(5.00 ± 2.27).P<0.05 The difference was statistically significant.(3)After the intervention,the score of the CSHQ(39.80±4.11)in the observation group was lower than that(43.80±6.20)in the control group,P<0.05,the difference was statistically significant.(4)After the intervention,the frequency of respiratory tract infections in the observation group(1.70 ± 0.53)was lower than that in the control group(2.00±0.53),P<0.05,the difference was statistically significant.(5)After the intervention,the effective rates of height growth rate(86.67%)and weight growth rate(90%)in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(73.33%and 76.67%),P<0.05,the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions:The growth-assisted tuina combined with dietary guidance can promote the growth rate of height and weight of preschool children with RRTI of lung and spleen deficiency type,and improve the diet,sleep and incidence rate of RRTI of children.The curative effect is more significant than that of the control group.
