【摘要】 随着社会的进步，经济的繁荣，人们对生活质量的要求越来越高，身高也受到更多的重视，因此早期诊治生长迟缓儿童已成为一个重要的环节。在美国健康教育基金会的资助下笔者通过举办健康教育培训班对家长进行培训。通过培训前后对家长的问卷调查，使家长对孩子的生长发育有了正确的认识。在健康教育前有72%的家长认为自己的孩子身高正常，而健康教育后只有52%的家长认为正常，说明有一部分的家长不知道孩子正常的身高标准。而孩子的身高在教育前有64%的家长不知道如何关注，通过健康教育100%的家长知道如何关注孩子的身高。影响孩子生长的因素教育前家长100%不知道，教育后100%知道。对孩子的身高咨询医生教育前有36%的家长咨询过，教育后100%认为应该咨询医生。孩子生长迟缓的最佳治疗时机教育前100%不知道，教育后100%知道。对孩子的身高进行检查和治疗教育前100%未进行，教育后76%认为应该进行。由此可看出目前对孩子生长迟缓的问题仍然有很多人未予重视，有的家长自认为孩子的身高是正常的，大部分的家长不知道如何关注孩子的身高，全部家长不知道影响孩子生长的因素，只有36%的家长就孩子的身高咨询过医生。健康教育使家长对孩子生长迟缓的认识得到了提高，经过笔者两次健康教育后有40%的家长带孩子来医院进行了身高的检查和治疗。
