Publisher: | W.B. Saunders | Abstract: | Purpose: Sudden infant death syndrome is the most common cause of death during the post-neonatal period. Factors such as sleeping position, bed sharing, pillow use, smoking during pregnancy and the breastfeeding period constitute risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome. This study aims to identify the risky behaviors of mothers with infants that may put their children at risk for sudden infant death syndrome. Design and methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was developed by the researchers. The questionnaire was filled out by 456 mothers who applied to the family health center between October 2014 and January 2015. Results: The greatest risk factor is the infant's sleeping position. A total of 77.9% of the mothers put their babies in bed in a non-supine position; 65.8% used a pillow when they put their babies in bed, 52.9% used a soft mattress, and 28.5% shared their beds with their babies. Prone sleeping was more likely to occur when smoke was present in the home or a pillow was used. Conclusion: Nurses should notify families of the risky behaviors that can cause sudden infant death syndrome and plan appropriate nursing care. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11499/10928 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pedn.2017.11.017 |
