Abstract

Psychomotor Intervention Program (PIP) is prescribed for children with behavioural problems and has been used to enhance motor competence. The study examined the effect of a PIP, on emotional competence (EC) and behaviour problems (BP) of children 4–5 years old, using Psychosocial Test Adjustment. Fifty eight children participated in the survey. Of these, 30 were assigned to the Experimental Group (EG) and participated in the PIP program. The other 28 children were assigned to the Control Group (CG) and did not participate in any intervention program. According to the results, children of the EG presented higher improvement on EC and BP decreased compared to those of the CG. PIP plays an important role in the child’s development and is recommended in schools and kindergartens. It is important to include PIP in the prescription within the Greek Health System, to provide additional support in traditional methods and treatments.

摘要

精神运动干预计划（PIP）是针对有行为问题的儿童而制定的，已被用于增强运动能力。该研究利用心理社会测试调整，检验了 PIP 对 4-5 岁儿童情绪能力 (EC) 和行为问题 (BP) 的影响。五十八名儿童参与了这项调查。其中，30 人被分配到实验组 (EG) 并参加 PIP 计划。另外 28 名儿童被分配到对照组 (CG)，没有参加任何干预计划。结果显示，与 CG 组的儿童相比，EG 组的儿童在 EC 方面有更高的改善，而血压则有所下降。PIP 在孩子的成长中发挥着重要作用，在学校和幼儿园得到推荐。
