“…Four studies included study samples in which over half of the sample was White [9,12,19,31], and four included samples in which over half of the sample was Black or African American [13,16,21,29]. Eight studies reported diverse samples with less than half of the sample being White or Black, and the remaining sample being other or mixed race/ethnicity [10,15,18,26,28,32,33,38]. Of the studies that reported education level [9,10,12,13,18,19,21,24,26,28,29,31,38], six studies included samples with over half of individuals having a high school diploma/GED or less [9,13,18,21,26,28].…”

Of the studies that focused primarily on providers, four also included data on family practices and thus are also included in the summaries for family-focused studies [14,17,19,25].…”

Sleep-related infant deaths remain a major public health issue. Multiple interventions have been implemented in efforts to increase adherence to safe sleep recommendations. We conducted a systematic review of the international research literature to synthesize research on interventions to reduce the risk of sleep-related deaths and their effectiveness in changing infant sleep practices. We searched PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed articles published between 1990 and 2015 which described an intervention and reported results. Twenty-nine articles were included for review. Studies focused on infant caregivers, health care professionals, peers, and child care professionals. Targeted behaviors included sleep position, location, removing items from the crib, breastfeeding, smoke exposure, clothing, pacifier use, and knowledge of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Most articles described multi-faceted interventions, including: one-on-one or group education, printed materials, visual displays, videos, and providing resources such as cribs, pacifiers, wearable blankets, and infant t-shirts. Two described public education campaigns, one used an educative questionnaire, and one encouraged maternal note taking. Health professional interventions included implementing safe sleep policies, in-service training, printed provider materials, eliciting agreement on a Declaration of Safe Sleep Practice, and sharing adherence data. Data collection methods included self-report via surveys and observational crib audits. Over half of the studies utilized comparison groups which helped determine effectiveness. Most articles reported some degree of success in changing some of the targeted behaviors; no studies reported complete adherence to recommendations. Future studies should incorporate rigorous evaluation plans, utilize comparison groups, and collect demographic and collect follow-up data.

“…In addition, a visual support was used, which consisted in a "crib card" placed on cribs and posters with visual information on hallways and waiting rooms. 8 Written material with the information provided in the posters on safe sleep practices was also delivered to participating families, and printed material for one year was left at each site according to the estimated number of births (Figures 1 and 2).…”

Impact of an educational intervention to improve adherence to the recommendations on safe infant sleep

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction. In developed countries, public campaigns promoting recommendations on safe infant sleep increased adherence to the supine sleeping position to more than 70% and, at the same time, reduced the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome by 53%. Objective. To determine the impact, at 60 days of life, of an educational intervention conducted in maternity centers aimed at improving adherence to the recommendations on safe infant sleep. Population, material and methods. Intervention study with historical control conducted between February 1 st and September 30 th of 2014 at the Maternity Center of Hospital Meisner and Hospital Universitario Austral. The intervention was called "crib card" and consisted in training health care team members and providing families with information on safe infant sleep by means of lessons, written material and using stickers on cribs. Results. Five hundred and fifty newborn infants were included. After the intervention, a 35% increase in the supine sleeping position (p < 0.0001) was observed; exclusive breastfeeding increased by 11% (p= 0.01); and co-sleeping decreased from 31% to 18% (p< 0.0005). No differences were observed in relation to bedroom sharing, living with tobacco users, or pacifier use at 60 days of life. Conclusions. The educational intervention was useful to improve adherence to the recommendations on safe sleep at 60 days of life: using the supine position and breastfeeding improved, and the rate of co-sleeping decreased. No changes were observed in the number of household members who smoke, bedroom sharing, and pacifier use.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Der plötzliche Kindstod (SIDS, „sudden infant death syndrome“) ist dank vieler Präventionsmaßnahmen heute deutlich seltener als noch vor ca. 30 Jahren. Wir führten einen schnellen systematischen Review zu effektiven Interventionsmaßnahmen durch und evaluierten ein mehrjähriges Präventionsprojekt in Hamm. Methodik Für den Review wurde eine systematische Recherche in der Datenbank PubMed durchgeführt. Eingeschlossen wurden alle ab 2004 (auf Deutsch oder Englisch) veröffentlichten Ergebnisberichte von Interventionen zur SIDS-Prävention (n = 17 Artikel). Für die Evaluationsstudie wurden im Praxisbetrieb erhobene Befragungsdaten von Eltern Neugeborener der Jahre 2011–2018 ausgewertet. Direkt nach der Geburt und ca. 3 Monate später wurden die Eltern mündlich und schriftlich über SIDS-Präventionsmaßnahmen aufgeklärt und zur geplanten und umgesetzten Schlafsituation befragt. Die Ergebnisse wurden deskriptiv ausgewertet. Ergebnisse Ergebnisse des Reviews bestätigen die gute Umsetzbarkeit der Rückenlage als Schlafposition. Weniger häufig werden der Literatur zufolge Verhaltensempfehlungen zur Schlafumgebung des Säuglings und zum Rauchverhalten im Haushalt umgesetzt. Beim Projekt SIDS Hamm wurde eine empfohlene Schlafumgebung bei 46 % und die Rückenlage bei 90 % der Säuglinge angegeben. Empfehlungen zur Schlafposition (Odds Ratio [OR]: 1,33; 95 %-Konfidenzintervall [KI]: 1,03–1,72) und zur Schlafumgebung (OR: 1,42; KI: 1,16–1,74) wurden eher eingehalten, wenn eine ärztliche SIDS-Aufklärung erfolgte. Diskussion In der internationalen Literatur werden Defizite bei Umsetzung der empfohlenen Schlafumgebung und beim Rauchverhalten in der SIDS-Prävention beschrieben. Das Präventionsprojekt in Hamm konnte durch unterschiedliche Ansätze der Wissensvermittlung dazu beitragen, dass viele Eltern SIDS-präventive Maßnahmen umsetzten und so das Risiko des plötzlichen Kindstods weiter verringern.
