Background
• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of infant death beyond the newborn period.
• In October 2010, Pennsylvania (PA) passed The Safe Sleep Bill, which requires that all birthing facilities provide written materials on SIDS risk reduction.

Objectives
• Determine the effectiveness of the current SIDS education at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH) Newborn Nursery
• Assess knowledge of SIDS risk factors and perceptions of safe sleep recommendations among new mothers
![Page 5: Safe Sleep Practices and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Risk Reduction Knowledge among New Mothers Esther K. Chung, MD, MPH, FAAP, To Dung K. Nguyen,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649f3b5503460f94c5a56f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Methods
• Cross-sectional, telephone survey• New mothers following hospital discharge from the
Newborn Nursery at TJUH between April 2011 and October 2012
• Surveys conducted at 2-4 weeks postpartum• Assessed knowledge of SIDS risk factors, infant
sleep practices, and perceptions of safe sleep recommendations

Results: Receipt of Written Materials
• Associated with a higher likelihood of knowing:– An increased SIDS risk associated with pillows in
the crib (94% vs. 90%, p = 0.01)• Not associated with the following:
– Knowing the back sleep position is the safest– Having concerns about choking when using the back position– Knowing there is an increased risk of SIDS on sofa– Knowing there is an increased risk with using bumpers or loose
blankets– Bed-sharing

Awareness of Risk of SIDS with Sleeping on Sofa
• The following factors were not associated with knowing that there is an increased risk of SIDS associated with sleeping on a sofa– Age– Race/ethnicity– Marital status– Education– Parity– Insurance– Receipt of WIC
![Page 17: Safe Sleep Practices and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Risk Reduction Knowledge among New Mothers Esther K. Chung, MD, MPH, FAAP, To Dung K. Nguyen,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649f3b5503460f94c5a56f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Results: Bed-sharing
• Older age (30 vs. 27 years, p = 0.001)• Whites race/ethnicity (21% vs. 13%, p = 0.01)• Higher education: those with postgraduate level
education more likely than those with a HS education (35% vs. 9%, p = 0.004)
• No association with– Marital status– Parity– Insurance– Receipt of WIC

Conclusions
• Enhanced efforts must be made to educate non-white race/ethnicity, single, and low-income mothers about SIDS risk reduction
• When teaching about SIDS risk reduction, increased efforts should be made to discuss safety, concerns about choking when using the back sleep position, and bed-sharing
![Page 19: Safe Sleep Practices and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Risk Reduction Knowledge among New Mothers Esther K. Chung, MD, MPH, FAAP, To Dung K. Nguyen,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649f3b5503460f94c5a56f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Limitations
• Single hospital; therefore, may not be generalizable to other populations
• Based exclusively on maternal report• Unable to confirm if written materials read• Other unmeasured factors could impact
knowledge and practices (e.g., bed-sharing)
