“…Multiple previous studies have examined issues with the operation of facilities, such as facility management and the establishment of emergency contact networks [14], and overall practices at daycare facilities [15,16]. These previous studies support the need for compliance with SSP among caregivers, including daycare personnel, mothers, and health professionals, and knowledge and confidence related to SSP are asso-ciated with the performance of SSP [17][18][19]. A better understanding of SSP may contribute to improvement in the quality of sleep environments in the childcare field.…”

Purpose: Safe sleep practices (SSP) are among the main strategies to reduce sleep-related sudden unexplained infant death (SUID). Daycare personnel must be knowledgeable and trained in SSP related to SUID. This study explored the experience, knowledge, and confidence regarding SSP associated with SUID of daycare personnel. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 395 staff members at 61 daycare centers to measure their experience related to SSP (10 items), related to sleep position and location, bedding materials, and other topics; knowledge of SSP (18 items); and confidence in SSP (1 item) related to SUID. Results: A substantial proportion (23.6%) of respondents used the lateral or prone positions for infant sleep. On average, 4.5 bedding materials were used for infant sleep. Participants showed a lack of knowledge about SSP as indicated by a 56.6% knowledge of SSP related to SUID correct answer rate. Personnel who received SUID education were more knowledgeable and had more confidence regarding SSP than those who did not. More knowledge and confidence related to SSP were associated with better adherence to SSP. Conclusion: Standard SSP guidelines should be developed based on South Korea's culture of childcare for educating both childcare professionals and parents at home.

“…Third, pediatric nurses' confidence in delivering education on a safe sleep environment and confidence in SSSP was a mean of 2.6 on a 1~5 scale, which is considered as fairly low confidence. In the study conducted by Hodges, Anderson, McKenzie, and Katz [26], 82% of nurse-midwives responded that they were confident in carrying out their work duties related to a safe environment. As well, in the study of Kacho [15], 64% of nurses responded that they were confident when they delivered anticipatory guidance on expanded back-tosleep guidelines and practices.…”

Purpose: Sudden unexplained infant death (SUID) is a major contributor to infant mortality, and pediatric nurses have the responsibility to educate parents on SUID-reducing strategies. This study was conducted to measure pediatric nurses' knowledge of SUID-related safe sleep practices (K-SSSP) and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (K-ICPR).Methods: In total, 136 pediatric nurses were administered a survey including K-SSSP (13 items), K-ICPR (5 items), confidence in K-SSSP education (1 item; 5 points), and other factors relating to SUID experiences or education.Results: The correct answer rates of the K-SSSP and K-ICPR were 62.6% and 62.5%, retrospectively. The mean score for confidence in K-SSSP education was 2.6±0.9. Only 18 nurses (13.2%) responded that they educated parents on the content of the K-SSSP, while 76 nurses had received education on SUID. Positive relationships were observed between K-SSSP scores and higher education, between K-ICPR scores and having own child(ren) and clinical experience, and between confidence in K-SSSP education and higher education or having one's own child(ren). Nurses caring for newborns performed more SUID education than nurses working in other units.Conclusion: There is a profound need to implement a systemic educational program on SUID and strategies to reduce SUID for pediatric nurses.

“…No previous studies have broadly explored midwives’ and other perinatal health workers’ perspectives on Black maternal mortality. Previous studies of US midwives’ attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs have focused elsewhere, for example, on newborn screenings, 10 men in midwifery, 11 infant safe sleep, 12 and planned home birth 13 . Almanza et al identified the motivations of 7 midwives of color—their strong commitments to racially concordant care, racial justice, and physically and emotionally safe care—associated with an African American‐owned community birth center 14 .…”

Introduction This study aimed to identify how perinatal health workers, especially midwives, explained US Black maternal mortality and morbidity and what ameliorative measures they suggested across categories of primary social determinants, health care access, and provider practices. Methods Using a mixed closed‐ended and open‐ended researcher‐designed exploratory survey, 227 perinatal health workers responded to a series of questions probing views of causation and strategies for improvement. The closed‐ended responses were summarized. Open‐ended responses were analyzed using basic categorical and thematic coding. Results Perinatal health workers’ responses prominently identified racism as a cause of Black maternal morbidity and mortality, and their recommendations ranged across levels of social determination of health. Discussion Results suggest that the views of perinatal health workers, the majority of whom were midwives, are complex and correspond to the problems and solutions identified in the research literature. Midwives and other perinatal health workers are well positioned to help center health equity in perinatal care, through both clinical practice and policy advocacy.
