Methodology: In order to accomplish the study's goals, a descriptive cross-sectional study was used throughout. The study took place between November 2021 and February 2022. a Non-Probability (Purposive Sample) of 100 moms who arrived with infants (under 1 year old) at the Hospital for Maternity and Children and the primary healthcare facilities in Al-Najaf Provence. Results: The study's findings revealed that (49%) of newborns were found to be sleeping on their sides, (37%) were found to be dozing off, and (14%) were found to be sleeping on their prone backs. Participants as a whole (60%) stated that (40%) child doctors were the main information source they used to learn about SIDS. Conclusion: In our study, women had limited understanding about sudden infant death syndrome, and a substantial percentage of them were unaware that smoking exposure during pregnancy and after delivery had been linked to an elevated risk of SIDS. In our study, a large percentage of moms were unaware that giving their babies pacifiers while they slept reduced the risk of SIDS. Keywords: knowledge, mother, sudden infant death syndrome.

“…Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), or “crib death,” is the unexpected and unexplained death of a child under one year old after all other causes have been ruled out by a comprehensive post-mortem assessment and investigation (e.g., complete autopsy, the examination of the death scene, and the evaluation of circumstances surrounding the infant’s death) [ 1 ]. Globally, SIDS is the third most common cause of infant death with a rate of 38.7 deaths per 100,000 live births, and in affluent nations, it is the leading cause of mortality among children aged 1-12 months, with most cases occurring in the first six months of life [ 2 ].…”

“…Indoor air pollution (e.g., from cooking) also has emerged as a relatively recent risk factor for SIDS [ 5 ]. SIDS incidence peaks in colder months, when respiratory infections are more prevalent, and deaths tend to occur between midnight and 8 am [ 1 , 6 ]. Regarding SIDS prevention strategies, exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of an infant’s life and the use of pacifiers are recommended.…”

Background Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) refers to the unexpected and unexplained death of a child under one year old. The pathogenesis of SIDS remains unclear. However, certain factors such as the child’s sleeping position, sleeping on a soft mattress, and maternal smoking have been suggested to contribute to its occurrence. The objective of this study was to evaluate the level of awareness of SIDS among Saudi Arabian women in 2023. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 mothers in Saudi Arabia, over a period of three months, from June to August 2023, using an online questionnaire to gather socio-demographic information from mothers of infants younger than one year old in Saudi Arabia, the sleeping practices of their infants, and their knowledge about SIDS risk factors. Data were coded using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY), and statistical significance tests were employed for data analysis. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results Among the 277 participating mothers, 44% were 31-40 years old, 93% were Saudi, 60% were employed, 65% were nonsmokers, and 64% placed babies in a supine position for sleep. About 37% of mothers used a duvet for bedding during summer, compared to 66% who used a duvet during winter, and 81% utilized a soft mattress cover in their children’s beds. Additionally, 67% of mothers reported that their children used a pacifier while sleeping. More than half (54%) of mothers were aware of SIDS with media as their primary source of information. Among those under 21 years old, 50% demonstrated a high level of awareness, compared to 36% of those aged over 50. Conclusion Most women in this study were found to be unaware of SIDS. Among those who were aware, the media was the primary source of information. Higher educational attainment was associated with better understanding.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objetivo: Verificar a relação entre a Síndrome da Morte Súbita do Lactente (SMSL) e o conhecimento materno sobre essa síndrome. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura com artigos publicados entre os anos de 2015 e 2022. Foram aplicadas a string “(Morte súbita lactente) and (conhecimento materno)” na base de dados Scielo e a string “(sudden infant death syndrome) and (mother knowledge)” na plataforma PubMed. Em seguida, nos artigos encontrados foram aplicados os critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: Foram avaliados 20 trabalhos que atenderam aos critérios propostos, dos quais apenas uma pesquisa nacional e as demais, internacionais. Há uma boa divulgação da SMSL entre as mães ou cuidadores. Entretanto, o meio social pode influenciar a adoção de práticas inseguras, tais como conselhos de amigos que vão contra as orientações de profissionais de saúde, assim como resistência por parte dos cuidadores, que não se sentem à vontade ou que acham tais recomendações desnecessárias. O melhor nível educacional está associado a melhores práticas em relação ao sono seguro. Considerações finais: Embora campanhas tenham divulgado a SMSL, ainda existe uma parcela da população que não conhece o quadro ou que não compreende a necessidade de colocar em prática as recomendações adequadas.
