Popis: | Our primary objective was to compare parents of infants cared for in newborn intensive care units (NICUs) and infants cared for in well-baby (“general”) nurseries with regard to knowledge and practice of safe sleep practices/sudden infant death syndrome risk reduction measures and guidelines. Our secondary objective was to obtain qualitative data regarding reasons for noncompliance in both populations. Sixty participants (30 from each population) completed our survey measuring safe sleep knowledge and practice. Parents of NICU infants reported using 2 safe sleep practices—( a) always placing baby in crib to sleep and ( b) always placing baby on back to sleep—significantly more frequently than parents of well infants. Additional findings and implications for future studies are discussed. |
