HYGIENIC CONDITIONS OF SUPPLEMENTARY EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND HEALTH OF CHILDREN

Abstract

The aim: hygienic assessment of the conditions of stay and the study of the health status of children attending supplementary educational organizations (SEO). Methods: We performed comprehensive sanitary and hygienic examination of SEO and analysed children's health using the data from the "Children's Medical Records for Educational Institutions" (registration form 026 / у-2000). Incidence, prevalence and structure of chronic pathology as well as anthropometric characteristics were studied using the centile method based on regional standards. Results. The proportion of children with frequent acute diseases was lower among children attending SEO than among schoolchildren without additional educational load: 34.4% vs. 15.6% in group 1(p = 0,015); 12,5 % - in the 2nd (рх2 = 0,004); 10,9 % in the 3rd group (рх2 = 0,002). Better health indicators among children visiting SEO were observed. We found statistically significant differences in the proportion of schoolchildren caliber without deviations in physical development, in the prevalence of chronic pathology, as well as in the number of children belonging to the first and the second health groups. Correlation analysis showed the presence of significant associations between the number of SEO visitors and the number of chronic diseases in a child, as well as inverse correlation between the level of the dynamic component in the classes and the formation of chronic pathology. Conclusions. We observed an effect of the number of SEO visitors and the feedback effect of the level of the dynamic component in the study structure on the development of chronic pathology in children (the proportion of the variance of the studied parameters was 2-4 %).
