“…Three studies focused only on mothers (Ahlers‐Schmidt et al, ; Hutton et al, ; Moon et al, ) and three studies on families (Carlins & Collins, ; Hauck et al, ; Rasinski et al, ) although one of these studies surveyed mothers only (Rasinski et al, ). Two studies focused on pregnant women (Flick et al, ; Kuhlmann et al, ) and one of these studies also addressed senior caregivers (Flick et al, ). Lastly, one study targeted both parents and caregivers of young infants (Moon, Oden, & Grady, ).…”

“…More than 50% of the studies' samples were predominately African American (Carlins & Collins, ; Flick et al, ; Hutton et al, ; Moon et al, ; Rasinski et al, ). The remainder of the samples' ethnicities were as follows: two of the samples were predominately White (Hauck et al, ; Kuhlmann et al, ), another sample was predominately non‐White (Ahlers‐Schmidt et al, ), and one sample had mixed ethnicities (Moon et al, ). One study profiled nonrespondents, mentioning they were typically African American, single, less educated, and younger (Moon et al, ).…”

Purpose To determine the state of science of outpatient‐ or community‐based interventions for sudden infant death syndrome prevention in the United States, an integrative review was completed and studies identified through the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Conclusions Of the nine studies identified, three were randomized controlled trials. There was a wide range of measurement tools and variables measured. The timing of interventions also varied. There was a focus on mothers and African Americans. Lastly, study design and approach have not changed significantly over time. Practice Implications Findings highlight recommendations for future research: expanding the target population, addressing culture in the development of the intervention or program, including additional providers, such as nurses, in the intervention or program, advancing innovation, and increasing rigor of study design.

“…One study in a large hospital (more than 6,000 annual deliveries) observed whether infants met the AAP guidelines for safe sleep. 6 Prior to implementing a bundled intervention, only 25% of infants were observed in a safe sleep environment. Another study reported that while 97% of nurses knew the AAP recommendations for safe sleep, only 67% agreed, and only 29% of the infants were found lying in the supine position, compared with 55% side-lying and 16% in the prone position.…”

BackgroundSleep-related death is tied with congenital anomalies as the leading cause of infant mortality in Kansas, and external risk factors are present in 83% of these deaths. Hospitals can impact caregiver intentions to follow risk-reduction strategies. This project assessed the current practices and policies of Kansas hospitals with regard to safe sleep.MethodsA cross-sectional survey of existing safe sleep practices and policies in Kansas hospitals was performed. Hospitals were categorized based on reported delivery volume and data were compared across hospital sizes.ResultsThirty-one of 73 (42%) contacted hospitals responded. Individual survey respondents represented various hospital departments including newborn/well-baby (68%), neonatal intensive care unit (3%) and other non-nursery departments or administration (29%). Fifty-eight percent of respondents reported staff were trained on infant safe sleep; 44% of these held trainings annually. High volume hospitals tended to have more annual training than low or mid volume birth hospitals. Thirty-nine percent reported a safe sleep policy, though most of these (67%) reported never auditing compliance. The top barrier to safe sleep education, regardless of delivery volume, was conflicting patient and family member beliefs.ConclusionsHospital promotion of infant safe sleep is being conducted in Kansas to varying degrees. High and mid volume birth hospitals may need to work more on formal auditing of safe sleep practices, while low volume hospitals may need more staff training. Low volume hospitals also may benefit from access to additional caregiver education materials. Finally, it is important to note hospitals should not be solely responsible for safe sleep education.
