| description | <p><strong>Objective:</strong>The aim of this cross-sectional survey is to investigate the role of migratory farmworker on childhood growth and psychomotor development. <strong>Method:</strong><strong> </strong>We studied 174 children ages 0-5 years raised in migratory farmworker families (n=174), and compared them to a sample of non-farm workers’ children (n=174) selected by probability sampling method. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and anthropometric measurements, and Ankara Developmental Screening Inventory. <strong>Results:</strong> Stunting was found in 43.1% of the farmworker’s children; 21.3% were in non-farmworker’s children. Farmworker mothers reported that none of their children had been monitored by healthcare professionals. Being from a migratory farmwork family (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.4-4.7; p=0.001) and maternal education (OR 0.88; 95% CI = 0.78-0.99; p=0.040) were found to be factors associated with stunted growth after controlling for confounding factors such as economic situation, number of children, household size and maternal age. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Children of migratory farmwokers represent a vulnerable population that deserves special attention in terms of healthcare rights and primary healthcare services.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Key Words:</strong> Migratory farmwork, children, growth, development</p> <p><strong>Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde 0-5 yaşları arasındaki çocukların büyüme ve psikomotor gelişimine mevsimlik tarım işçiliğinin etkisi</strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Amaç:</strong> Kesitsel tipteki bu araştırmanın amacı, mevsimlik tarım işçiliğinin çocukların büyüme ve psikomotor gelişimine etkisini araştırmaktır. <strong>Yöntem:</strong> Olasılıklı örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 174 göçebe tarım işçisi ailenin çocuğu ve 174 tarım işçisi olmayan ailenin çocuğu büyüme ve gelişme açısından karşılaştırılmıştır.
