Brief Summary:
A playroom and a playground are already part of the stabilization unit and are furnished with basic facilities for engaging the SAM children in play-based motor language and personal-social activities The severely acute malnourished children in the intervention group will be sent to a development pediatrician who will do a developmental assessment of the child and stimulation A sensory therapist an occupational therapist and a physiotherapist will also be available for sessions
Detailed Description:
The World Health Organisation WHO also suggests including psychological stimulation in the treatment of severe acute malnutrition However there is limited evidence that these interventions are beneficial for SAM children especially when there are severe food shortages and a lack of a balanced diet
There is limited available research in Pakistan examining the impact of psychosocial stimulation on severely malnourished children and a significant gap in its implementation It is obvious that current implementation research is needed to understand how to improve brain development in children with SAM who require inpatient care in a practical and pragmatic approach
The purpose of this study is to present data on the efficacy of these therapies which may help shape future SAM treatment plans and policies Mitigating the physical and mental dimensions of malnourishment can result in more enduring and significant consequences ultimately enhancing the standard of living for millions of children around the globe
