D. Nagitha, Dr. L. Umadevi

Abstract :

The present observational study of care givers behaviour towards institutionalized infants revealed many important observations that the caregivers were attending to the physical needs of the infants but the other important need i.e social and emotional were neglected. Caregivers though exhibited positive behaviour like vocalizing, maintaining eye contact, holding the child, it was found in very few observations and only for short duration of time. Another important finding of the study was that positive behavior of caregivers of 7–30 months was less than the caregivers of infants less than 6 months. The care givers of institutionalized infants showed negative behavior like interacting with others, not maintaining eye contact. The negative behavior was found to be more in caregivers of infants below 6 months age
