Majella House Safe Sleep and SIDS Prevention
Appears in Patient Centered Population Health NUR 4615
Abstract
Introduction: The Majella House is a safe house for homeless pregnant women in Escambia County. The identified issue was the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Study findings show infants who bed-share have a higher risk of SIDS than infants who sleep on their back in a crib.
Aims: The purpose of this project was to educate about SIDS reduction measures. The learning objectives were: (1) Discuss the importance of placing a baby on their back to sleep; (2) Identify one safe sleep practice; and (2) Demonstrate how to set up a safe sleep environment using the ABCs (Alone, Back, Crib) of safe sleep.
Methods: The following deliverables were created to educate about the ABCs of safe sleep: (1) Infographic, and (2) Video. Canva and Google Docs were utilized to create clear, easy-to-understand material. A survey was created to evaluate the impact of education. Plain language and visual aids, along with a nonjudgmental, supportive approach, were utilized in the creation of all deliverables.
Results: The group provided the two residential moms with the infographic and baskets, including things to help prevent SIDS. The non-residential moms (n=30) were sent an email, including the infographic, video, and survey. Survey results were limited, with 1/30(3.33%) responding positively to the survey.
Conclusion: This project is rooted in the belief that education is one of the most powerful and modifiable tools we have to prevent SIDS. The goal is to empower mothers with knowledge that directly protects their infants.
