About this study

Official title: The Impact of the Nurse-Led "My Baby is Safe" Educational Program on Mothers' Knowledge, Skills, and Self-Efficacy

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the My Baby is Safe Educational Program on mothers' knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy levels.The objectives of the study are to ensure that mothers acquire sufficient knowledge and skills regarding SIDS and SBS, and to enhance their self-efficacy levels.The participants were randomly assigned to one group that received only the My Baby is Safe Educational Program (Group I), or to another group that received standard care (Group II).

Read the detailed description

The aim of this randomized controlled study was to determine the effectiveness of the My Baby is Safe Educational Program on mothers' knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy related to the prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS).

This study, which included postpartum mothers, was conducted at Amasya University between July 2025 and July 2026. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which received the My Baby is Safe Educational Program (Group I), or the control group, which received standard care (Group II).

The intervention consisted of a nurse-led, individualized, repetitive educational program that began in the postpartum period and included home visits. The program aimed to inform mothers about risk and protective factors for SIDS and SBS, to encourage the creation and maintenance of a safe sleep environment, and to promote the use of appropriate soothing techniques for crying infants.

The study sample consisted of 50 mothers, with 25 mothers assigned to each group. Data collection instruments included: the Infant and Parent Information Form, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Scale - Mother Form, the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Care Skills Form, the Shaken Baby Syndrome Awareness Assessment Scale-Short Form, the Shaken Baby Syndrome Care Skills Form, the Sleep Environment Checklist, and the Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale.

Data were analyzed using the licensed Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS v.23) software of Akdeniz University. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate the changes over time between the groups and the interaction effects between group and time. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to assess relationships between variables. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Additionally, effect sizes were calculated.

As a result, it is anticipated that the My Baby is Safe Educational Program will improve mothers' knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy related to the prevention of SIDS and SBS.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Education and CounselingBehavioural

    The researcher will inform the mothers (n=25) that the My Baby is Safe Educational Program will be delivered individually through distance education via Microsoft Teams at times convenient for them, and that the program will be completed over 5 days. The scheduling will ensure that all modules included in the My Baby is Safe Educational Program are completed within one week at the latest. Mothers will be informed that they can receive telephone counseling from the researcher until their infants reach two months of age, and the researcher's phone number will be provided to them. During this period, the researchers will send weekly reminder messages to the mothers' phones, encouraging them to read the provided educational booklet and to watch the educational videos.

    The researcher will maintain communication with the mothers and conduct a home visit on the 15th day postpartum. During this home visit, the researcher will assess the infant's sleep environment for safe sleep practices.

  • LeafletOther

    No structured or planned education will be provided to the control group by the researchers during the study period. After the first assessment, the mothers in the control group will receive a brochure prepared by the researchers based on the literature, containing brief informational notes on SIDS and SBS.

    The researcher will maintain communication with the mothers and conduct a home visit on the 15th day postpartum. During this visit, the researcher will observe the home environment where the infant resides and evaluate the infant's sleep environment in terms of safe sleep practices.

    After data collection from the intervention group has been completed, the same intervention (My Baby is Safe Educational Program) will also be delivered to the mothers in the control group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Scale - Mother Form The scale consists of six items, divided into two sub-dimensions. These dimensions are 'Baby's Sleep Area' and 'Baby's Sleep Environment.' The scale uses a five-point Likert scale (Never = 1, Rarely = 2, Sometimes = 3, Often = 4, Always = 5). The last three questions of the scale are reverse-coded. The scale is interpreted based on the total scores of the subscales rather than the total score. As the score obtained from each subscale increases, it is interpreted that the level of awareness is also low. The Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega values for the 'Baby's Sleep Area' and 'Baby's Sleep Environment' subscales were found to be above 0.60.

    Measured: baseline (first assessment)

  2. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Scale - Mother Form The scale consists of six items, divided into two sub-dimensions. These dimensions are 'Baby's Sleep Area' and 'Baby's Sleep Environment.' The scale uses a five-point Likert scale (Never = 1, Rarely = 2, Sometimes = 3, Often = 4, Always = 5). The last three questions of the scale are reverse-coded. The scale is interpreted based on the total scores of the subscales rather than the total score. As the score obtained from each subscale increases, it is interpreted that the level of awareness is also low. The Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega values for the 'Baby's Sleep Area' and 'Baby's Sleep Environment' subscales were found to be above 0.60.

    Measured: at the end of the invervention program (8 weeks after from baseline)

  3. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Care Skills

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Care Skills Form (SIDS-CSF) The SIDS-CSF was developed by the researchers to assess mothers' care skills related to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The researchers created the SIDS-CSF based on a review of the relevant literature. The form consists of a total of 28 items. It is structured as a 5-point Likert-type scale (Always, Frequently, Occasionally, Rarely, Never).

    Measured: baseline (first assessment)

  4. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Care Skills

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Care Skills Form (SIDS-CSF) The SIDS-CSF was developed by the researchers to assess mothers' care skills related to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The researchers created the SIDS-CSF based on a review of the relevant literature. The form consists of a total of 28 items. It is structured as a 5-point Likert-type scale (Always, Frequently, Occasionally, Rarely, Never).

    Measured: a home visit on the 15th day postpartum (2 weeks after from baseline)

  5. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Care Skills

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Care Skills Form (SIDS-CSF) The SIDS-CSF was developed by the researchers to assess mothers' care skills related to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The researchers created the SIDS-CSF based on a review of the relevant literature. The form consists of a total of 28 items.

    Measured: at the end of the invervention program (8 weeks after from baseline)

  6. Shaken Baby Syndrome Awareness

    Shaken Baby Syndrome Awareness Assessment Scale - Short Form (SBS-AAS-SF) The scale consists of three dimensions: soothing techniques, discipline techniques, and potential injury. The items in the scale are designed to assess whether the actions of caregivers are appropriate within each of these three dimensions. The scale includes 12 items for each dimension, totaling 36 items, and is formatted as a 6-point Likert scale. The correlations between the scores of the subscales indicate the degree of linearity among the three dimensions. The scale scores provide insight into the interrelationships of the constructs associated with shaking a baby, offering information on how effective interventions should be structured.
