“…Nineteen studies focused on families and caregivers of newborn infants [9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 21, 24, 26, 28-32, 34-36, 38], eight focused on health care professionals (nurses, midwives, and physicians) [14,17,19,20,23,25,27,37]; the remaining two focused on mainstream health professionals and peers (including some parents) [33], and child care professionals [22]. 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]. Studies recruited parents or families in a health care setting, for example, from: hospitals after delivery [9,10,15,17,19,25,26,28,30,31,34], pediatric clinics [12,26,29], specific program participants [16,21], specific geographic communities [24], and prenatal clinics [38], or randomly sampling across a state [32].…”

Infant Safe Sleep Interventions, 1990–2015: A Review

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.

“…Effective parent-provider communication is associated with adherence to treatment recommendations [28]. Previous research has found that the credibility of health advice influenced parents' adherence to infant care practices designed to reduce SIDS [26] and that specific instruction by a nurse or doctor in the hospital about how to properly place the infant for sleep influenced behavior after the mother left the hospital [29]. The findings of this study indicate that parents who felt that the bed sharing recommendation was "too strict" were less likely to adhere than those who thought that the recommendation was "helpful."…”

“…We found two studies that used quality-improvement strategies to enhance safe sleep practices in the hospital setting, one that involved seven hospitals in Michigan (110) and another that focused on a neonatal intensive care unit in Texas (54). Both used nurse in-service trainings, crib audit forms, and parent surveys to measure change, and both found some significant improvements in safe sleep of the infants in the hospital setting.…”

Unintentional Home Injuries Across the Life Span: Problems and Solutions

Home injuries cause more than 30,000 deaths and 12 million nonfatal injuries annually in the United States. They generate an estimated $222 billion in lifetime costs annually. Despite some data limitations in documenting home as the location of an injury, much progress has been made in identifying effective prevention strategies that reduce injury or mitigate risk behaviors.The current interest in public health in the role of housing in health offers unparalleled opportunities for injury prevention professionals concerned with home injuries. Sharing the science of injury prevention with the wide array of professionals-such as architects, home builders, home visitors, and fire and emergency medical services providers-who create home environments and interact with residents could be a useful approach. A collaborative national effort to reduce the burden of home injuries is needed.
