Introduction: Social isolation can be a factor that alters psychomotor development.
Objective: Determine the association between home confinement and the child's psychomotor development.
Methods: Analytical crosssectional design in children aged 1 month to 71 months 29 days. The group with home confinement secondary to the COVID19 pandemic (n=302) and the group without home confinement (n=269) were studied. Psychomotor development was assessed with the Child Development Assessment Test, which included the language, social, gross motor, and fine motor areas. Statistical analysis included chi2 test, odds ratio, confidence intervals for odds ratio, simple logistic regression model and calculation the probability of occurrence of the event.
Results: No association was found between confinement and gross motor (p=0.793) and fine motor (p=0.163) areas. In the group with confinement, 28.8% presented language disorders and in the group without confinement, language disorders were present in 3.7% (p=0.001); in the social area, in the group with confinement, 8.6% presented disorders and in the group without confinement, 3.3% also presented disorders (p=0.009). For every 3.03 (95%CI; 2.124.34) children with confinement and psychomotor development disorders, there is one child who was not confined and also presented psychomotor development disorders.
Conclusions: There is an association between home confinement and psychomotor development, the areas with alterations are language and socialization, the longer the isolation time, the greater the probability of presenting developmental disorders.
