Learning Objectives:
  • Identify facilitators and barriers to modeling and teaching safe sleep recommendations in the hospital inpatient setting to guide development of nursing education
  • Describe how patient education can reduce SIDS/SUIDs rates
  • Review American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Safe Sleep Recommendations

    • Submission Description:
    Through this qualitative research we learned that it is useful to get information from nurses about how to best implement the delivery of safe sleep recommendations in the hospital setting. Among other things, making sure the messages to nurses and to families were consistent, using quality and safety techniques, offering CEU and including all staff in the change can be key factors for effective practice. We have utilized these ideas to develop and to test an educational intervention.
