Intervention Results:

Nearly all (97%) planned to place their baby supine for sleep. However, less than half (47%) planned to have the baby sleep in the parents’ room in a separate crib. Attendees exhibited high levels of safe sleep knowledge, stated intentions to utilize most safe sleep recommendations, and reported babies would have slept in unsafe environments without the portable crib.

Intervention Results:

Most parents were aware of and implementing the American Association of Pediatrics’ recommendations for safe sleep location (88%) and position (79%). However, more than 60% reported at least one item in the crib that would increase the infant’s risk of accidental asphyxiation.

Link: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0009922815572077

Intervention Results:

Caregivers who received the wearable blanket were significantly more likely to report that the item was helpful in reminding them to use safe sleep practices (alone, back, crib) than those who received a water bottle, χ2(3) = 16.00, P = .001. However, providing caregivers with wearable blankets did not significantly improve adherence to the AAP’s Safe Sleep guidelines when compared with caregivers in the control group.

Intervention Results:

Mothers who watched the video (n=43) were more likely to observe safe sleep practices while in the hospital than those who did not (n=49) watch the video (67.4% vs. 46.9%, p < .05). They were also less likely to plan for (unsafe) side positioning (23.9% vs. 7.1%, p < .05).

Intervention Results:

There were 1092 HD and 490 F/U surveys. Supine sleep knowledge was 99.8% at HD; 94.8% of families planned to always use this position. At F/U, 97.3% retained supine knowledge, and 84.9% maintained this position exclusively (P < .01). Knowledge of crib as safest surface was 99.8% at HD and 99.5% F/U. Use in the parents’ room fell to 91.9% (HD) and 68.2% (F/U). Reinforcing the infant safe sleep message with an intensive hospital-based education program improves parental intentions to comply with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ SIDS risk-reduction guidelines in the home, including supine sleep position, use of a crib without extraneous materials, and appropriate room temperature.

Intervention Results:

At baseline, 25% (36/144) of sleeping infants were safe. Post-intervention, significantly more (58%; 145/249) had safe sleep (P < .0001). Most parents planned to use the supine position (95%; 96/101); none planned to co-sleep. Many intended to adjust their infants’ home sleep environment. Using a multifaceted approach significantly improved infant safe sleep practice in the hospital setting.

Intervention Results:

Among mothers in the intervention group, 42.9 percent put their infants to sleep in a supine position at the 3-month visit, compared with 24 percent of mothers in the control group (p = 0.009). In a multivariate analysis, the intervention at the hospital was the only variable that influenced maternal practices with respect to infant sleep positioning (OR 2.22; 95% CI 1.17-4.19).

Intervention Results:

Mothers in the intervention group were more likely than those in the control group to report placing their infant on their back for sleep (88% vs. 78%), but the difference was not statistically significant (RR=1.13, 95% CI: 0.95-1.34). However, first-time mothers were significantly more likely to report placing their infant on the back for sleep (95% vs. 65%, RR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.06-2.00).

Intervention Results:

At the first follow-up (6 to 7 weeks postpartum; 1 week after discharge), mothers in the experimental group reported choosing supine position more often than mothers in the control group (p=0.034). At the second follow-up (6 to 7 weeks after the intervention), responses were mixed. In regard to the current infant sleep position, no significant difference was observed between the two groups (p=0.276). In terms of the sleep position in the previous night, no significant difference was observed (p=0.592). However, on sleep position for naptime on the day of followup, the experimental group reported an increased selection of supine position compared to the control group (p=0.028).

Intervention Results:

Infant observations showed that 20% and 99% of the infants in the well-newborn nursery were placed in the supine position before and after the intervention respectively (p<0.05). Parents reported that 37% and 88% of nursery staff exclusively placed infants to sleep in the supine position before and after the intervention respectively (OR=12.5, 95% CI: 5.7-27.7). Parent report showed that 42% and 75% of parents usually placed infants to sleep in the supine position at home before and after the intervention respectively (OR=4.2, 95% CI: 2.1-7.9).
