INTRODUCTION: Cognitive-motor tasks intervention is beneficial for the infant's motor and cognitive development. These interventions in the hospital setting, have been widely studied in neonatal intensive care units, however, few studies evaluate child development within pediatric units. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of cognitive-motor intervention in motor and cognitive development of infants hospitalized with respiratory diseases. METHOD: The research was characterized as quasi-experimental, 22 babies hospitalized in the pediatric unit for respiratory disease were divided into 2 groups (10 in the control group and 12 in the intervention group) without significant differences in biological and socioeconomic data. The mean age was 5.50 months (SD +/- 4.51), ranging between 1 and 16 months. Questionnaire was conducted with the infant's parent/guardian for sample characterization. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-III) was used to evaluate motor e cognitive development. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, Student's t test, General Linear Model and One Way ANOVA. RESULTS: The results show a significant interaction between group x time in motor and cognitive scores. When comparing the two times, the intervention group changed positivelyand significantly from pre- to post-intervention in motor and cognitive scores. The same was not observed for the control group. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that the intervention during the hospital stay contributes positively to the motor and cognitive development.
