This cross-sectional research aimed to assess child development promoting behavior of newborn to 2 years and investigate factors affecting child development promoting behavior of newborn to 2 years of child caregivers (CCGs) in Lansak District, Uthai Thani Province. The sample size was 420 of CCGs that were randomly by systematic random sampling. Data were collected by the validated and reliable questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression at a significance level of 0.05
The results revealed that the sample had a high level of child development promotion behavior of newborn to 2 years (Mean = 2.43, S.D. = 0.50). Factors influencing the promotion of child development behaviors among caregivers of newborns to 2-year-olds include engaging in playtime with children, knowledge about child development promotion, being at a junior high school education level, perceiving benefits in promoting child development, marital status, access to healthcare services, and years of childcare experience. These factors collectively account for 13.2% (R2 = 0.148) of the predicting developmental promotion behaviors from birth to 2 years old among caregivers. The study recommends that public health sectors and other organizations should provide training to enhance knowledge related to promoting child development, design activities aimed at fostering perceived benefits of promoting child development and encourage playtime for children, particularly among caregivers with a junior high school education or higher. Furthermore, healthcare authorities should improve accessibility to health services to encourage caregivers to engage in appropriate child development practices for children aged 0-2 years old.
