“…Non-accidental head injury, including shaken-baby syndrome, can cause diffuse neurological insult particularly to the prefrontal cortex. It is no surprise therefore that these injuries are significantly associated with a range of negative neurological outcomes, including a greater incidence of convulsions and subsequent hypoxia; sensory processing and motor deficits; language difficulties; and memory, attention, and other executive dysfunction (Ashton, 2010). Of note, infants and very young children appear to be especially prone to these negative outcomes (Ashton, 2010).…”

Of note, infants and very young children appear to be especially prone to these negative outcomes (Ashton, 2010). Bellinger et al (2008) reports that lead exposure may preferentially inhibit functioning in several areas of the brain, including the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, postcentral gyri, inferior parietal lobule, and cerebellum.…”

Aggression and Violent Behavior

Violence and aggression are public health problems that can benefit from ongoing research into risk reduction and prevention. Current developmental theories of violence and aggression emphasize biological and psychosocial factors, particularly during adolescence. However, there has been less focus on understanding the interactive, multiplicative effects of these processes. Furthermore, little attention has been given to the pre-, peri-, and postnatal periods, where prevention and intervention may yield effective results. Early health risk factors that influence negative behavioral outcomes include prenatal and postnatal nutrition, tobacco use during pregnancy, maternal depression, birth complications, traumatic brain injury, lead exposure, and child abuse. There is an ample literature to suggest that these early health risk factors may increase the likelihood of childhood externalizing behaviors, aggression, juvenile delinquency, adult criminal behavior, and/or violence. This paper proposes an early health risk factors framework for violence prediction, built on existing developmental theories of criminal behavior and supported by empirical findings. This framework addresses gaps in the adolescent psychopathology literature and presents a novel conceptualization of behavioral disturbance that emphasizes the pre-, peri-, and post-natal periods, when a child's development is critical and the opportunity for behavioral and environmental modification is high. Implications for such a framework on violence prevention programs are discussed.

“…Do skutków długoterminowych należy opóźnie-nie rozwoju psychoruchowego, poważne zaburzenia ruchowe, ślepotę korową, małogłowie, a także zanik korowy i podkorowy [9]. Innymi konsekwencjami może być napad padaczkowy będący konsekwencją urazu głowy, problemy ze wzrokiem występujące u połowy ofiar SBS oraz obniżenie IQ i procesów kognitywnych [10].…”

“…[18,19] Advanced practice nurses need to have a thorough understanding of abusive head trauma in order to promptly and accurately assess and manage these infants. [20] Early recognition and accurate diagnosis of infant with traumatic head injury are essential for appropriate treatment. Furthermore, if a shaking injury occurs, seeking immediate medical advice is recommended for survival.…”

Objective: Shaken baby syndrome (SBS) is a shocking phenomenon that is recognized as one of the most severe forms of child abuse with very high rates of morbidity and mortality among infant less than one year of age. Although of its high mortality and morbidity, it is a highly preventable health problem. So, there is an essential need for a strategy to prevent it through education by nurses and physicians to new mothers. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a preventive instructional module on mothers’ knowledge regarding SBS.Methods: A quasi-experimental design was carried out on eighty mothers who had delivered full-term infants and hospitalized on labour and delivery unit affiliated to Mansoura University Hospital, Mansoura City, Egypt. Data were collected through using of a structured interview questionnaire sheet (pre and post-test format) for assessing mothers’ knowledge about SBS and infant’s crying.Results: The total mean knowledge scores improved post implementation of a preventive instructional module regarding SBS compared to pre-implementation (0.86 ± 0.19 versus 0.35 ± 0.39 respectively).Conclusions: The study hypothesis was accepted. There were highly significant improvement in the studied women’s knowledge regarding SBS and infant crying. Indicating that the developed preventive instructional module was an effective tool for the enrichment of mothers’ knowledge regarding SBS and infant’s crying.Recommendation: Implementation of antenatal classes for improving mothers’ knowledge regarding SBS and infant crying.
