Intervention Description: This quality improvement pilot program used a bundle approach to create a safe sleep program that consisted of safe sleep education for NICU nurses, the creation and implementation of safe sleep cards, and revision of the institution’s safe sleep policy. To assess safe sleep practices, sleep environment audits were completed pre- and post-safe sleep program. To assess nurses’ safe sleep knowledge, a safe sleep questionnaire was delivered pre- and post-education.

Intervention Results: The change in SSP (ΔSSP) following safe sleep program implementation and change in nurses' safe sleep knowledge (ΔKnowledge) following education.

Conclusion: SSP increased from 25 percent to 61 percent compliance, and nurses' knowledge scores increased from 83 percent to 97 percent.

Setting: Level III NICU

Population of Focus: Hospital staff
